There’s quite a story behind the upcoming ‘Zombie Hotel’ review.

Oh yes, this sounds like one of the films playing at the megaplex in my own personal hell: Max Adler, who plays the bully Dave Karofsky on the hit Fox show Glee, already has plans for the upcoming hiatus, and it’s to play a role in a teen comedy movie about zombies. … “Comedy and [...]

The upcoming high-fantasy, big-budget HBO Series ‘Game of Thrones’, based on George R. R. Martin’s best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels, has been getting a lot of press lately, and given our culture’s current Anti-Zombie fixation, apparently Undead individuals in said show are getting a lot of attention: If you missed [...]

Some fascinating details on the ‘Walking Dead’ DVD box set now available, which the ZRC will be buying as soon as I can arrange a suitable container to prevent the concentrated evil from these monstrous DVDs from seeping into our living environment. Maybe a fire safe that’s been consecrated? How did they bind Samael in [...]

Yeah yeah, I know it was a dream sequence, and clearly over the top at that, but we still have to deal with the fact that, in our society, it’s still considered acceptable for a doctor to, say, unload round after round from a pump action shotgun into Zombies rather than treat them as human [...]

The news that Glee will be performing after the Superbowl only makes me want to flee into a bunker deep underground, far from the range of any television signals, but this part of the story is interesting: You’ve already heard the Glee cast put their jazz hands all over Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” – but the [...]

News from the rumor mill suggests that Kirkman’s Anti-Zombie magnum opus may soon take on videogame form: 1UP is reporting that Telltale Games sent them a mysterious invitation to an event where they will be announcing a video game “based on a just-launched property from the TV and comic book world whose popularity is changing [...]

It’s distressing to hear news like this: Two networks are following in The Walking Dead’s footsteps. The CW is developing The Awakening, a show about two sisters dealing with their relationship and a zombie apocalypse. And NBC’s developing a show from McG’s production company, Zombies vs. Vampires. Really? It’s not bad enough that Zombies take [...]
