The Zombie Rights Campaign had a great time at Nightmare on Chicago Street in Elgin last Saturday! We were once again very impressed by the extremely creative, extremely hardworking Elgin crew, who create what is unambiguously the biggest, most elaborate Halloween public celebration and Zombie Walk we have ever seen. (Like being in an action [...]

Hello out there, Zombie Allies! Today we have some exciting (well, to us) news about The Zombie Rights Campaign store. First, though, a technical matter.

The Zombie Rights Campaign wasn’t hugely enamored with World War Z. It had many issues, both cinematic and Civil Rights in nature. But it’s hard not to view this Bob the Angry Flower comic as blaming the CG Zombies for the failures of the film. We cannot agree with that. BTAF has had some issues [...]

We like webcomic extraordinaire ‘Skin Horse’ around here at the ZRC, for its longstanding and remarkably tolerant depiction of the Undead. However, the newly-unfolding storyline apparently involves an Undead Equality movement, complete with an ‘Undead Rights’ blogger. So naturally, we, or rather, *I* love it even more. I can steal activism ideas! I mean. Bring [...]
