Santa Claus. Immortal giver of joy, and toys, to children, at least in the American mythos. He of the rosy cheeks, chimney spelunking and the flying reindeer, Rudolph later added by Montgomery Ward. And, for some reason, a noteworthy target of Anti-Zombie media creators. It’s becoming routine to splash Zombies into holiday stories, almost invariably [...]

The video above, taking video from ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and running it in reverse alongside the ‘Dead Island’ trailer theme, helps to illustrate a point the ZRC has been trying to make in the discussion over ‘Dead Island’ on the net the last few days: the fact that the trailer is visually pretty and [...]

Minecraft, for those who aren’t aware of the phenomenon, is a sort of sandbox/world building game, centered largely around construction in a cube-filled, primitively polygonal world: Minecraft is a sandbox building[1][2] indie video game written in Java originally by creator Markus “Notch” Persson and now by his company, Mojang, formed from the proceeds of the [...]

She also warned us that the ZRC would probably not be pleased with the result, for it features violence against the Differently Animated. On the other hand she has also assured us that [...]

Well, the trend of Anti-Zombie music videos sadly stumbles forward with this new video from a band going by the name ‘The Kidney Stones’. Perhaps they chose the name to indicate how grueling it would be to watch their hateful video products, who can say? If so, at least an effort was made to warn [...]

We’ve repeatedly called for more Zombie Friendly music here at the ZRC, and have made an effort to get to know the work of Zombie Friendly groups like Rainbow Destroyer and Dr. Cancer and the SKAmbies. This means we’re always on the look out for more Zombie related songs. Unfortunately, as often as not, we [...]

Upcoming game Bulletstorm takes a decidedly sardonic view of the First Person Shooter genre, and seems determined to drag said games, kicking and screaming, back from the ultra-serious, grim, often ‘historical’ settings and tropes they’re situated in today. So as part of their advertising push they released a savagely hilarious and completely merciless parody of [...]

I can’t embed it here (no doubt because they fear criticism) but Metallica apparently put out a video some time ago for a song ‘cleverly’ called ‘All Nightmare Long’ – and it’s very Anti-Zombie. I learned this from a morning DJ who was raving about how ‘cool’ it was after playing the tune on the [...]
