Popular webcomic and apparently Zombophobe site Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal recently posted a comic (or series of charts, depending on your definition of ‘comic’) simplifying the ‘Zombie Movie’ genre into chart form while glibly passing on the usual stereotypes about the Differently Animated. You know the ones I mean. “Zombies eat brains. Zombies are a [...]

Well the trip to The Dark Carnival was tons of fun and went off without a hitch, right up until the day after we get back and I fall terribly ill while trying to get the media uploaded and some posts written about the trip. Sorry about that. We have returned from our triumphantly successful [...]

We’ll be driving, err, pretty much all day to be at The Dark Carnival Film Festival for the whole weekend. I’ll check in when we get to the hotel, so hopefully the Zombie Rights related emergencies will be at a minimum today.

So, before I could realize that I had apparently inflamed the tender egos of much of the nerdy world with a brief post dissing a silly video bashing Zombies, the Zombie Rights Campaign went on a trip to cloudy, grey Peoria, Illinois to see some short films in the Drunken Zombie Film Festival. This marks [...]

Mega64, for those not in the know (which included me, prior to today) is a sketch comedy show described as being akin to infamously stupid media product ‘Jackass’, but about videogames. From what I’ve seen.. that’s a fair cop. The most recent episode concerns the spate of Zombie videogames coming out of late, which, believe [...]

Specifically, we plan to attend the Saturday evening portion of the film festival, the with all of the zombie movie shorts. We’ve seen Cabine of the Dead, but the others are new to the ZRC, and we look forward to appraising their content vis a vis Zombie Rights. In site news, the complete revamp of [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign made our annual trek to the enormous outdoor Halloween costume party (which the city has rebranded as ‘Freakfest’ in recent years) last night, and it was a decided mixed bag. On the one hand, there were numerous opportunities to advance the cause of Zombie Rights. We picketed, marched, chanted, protested, talked [...]

Those of you in our old stomping grounds of Bloomington, Indiana have a chance to go to an actual Zombie Walk on October 30th, rather than hanging out with some dusty Z-list cameo actors as they parade around trying to promote the latest Robert Kirkman-fueled Anti-Zombie prejudice. Time: Saturday, October 30 ยท 10:00pm – 11:00pm [...]

Making this a brief post so I can get back into delving deep into the Sears website to learn more about their Zombie promotion, but I did want to share a few of the photographs taken at the big Horror Society Film Festival on Saturday night. It’s hard to overstate the classic movie palace beauty [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign will be making its annual protest appearance at Freakfest, the official, soulless marketing term for Madison’s enormous annual Halloween costume contest/party spectacular. You can check out the Freakfest lineup here; this year for a musical act they landed OK Go, which is actually pretty awesome. If past years are any indication [...]
