I got linked to a relatively new Zombie/Sci-Fi webcomic recently by BuyZombie, ‘The Horror of Colony 6′: First off let me say that after zombies my favorite thing to watch is science fiction horror. In fact my love of scifi/horror may surpass that of the undead but there is so little of it that I [...]

Last year when the ZRS had their previous hate-fest disguised as ‘Zombie Awareness Month’ we counter-protested with a ‘Zombie Cultural Awareness Month’. Admittedly, I’d kind of forgotten about that until I got a comment, not on this year’s post about the ZRS’ continued perfidy, but on last year’s, submitting a poem for our appraisal: Stan [...]

This review marks one of the interesting conflicts I run into as the ZRC’s chief media watchdog. There are quite a few Anti-Zombie projects out there that, putting the Anti-Zombiism aside, are clearly works of talented people. ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and ‘Dawn of the Dead’ in particular show that George Romero really knows [...]

Horror Society pointed us toward this charming little indie film, very much in the style of ‘The Addams Family’ with perhaps a bit of ‘Edward Scissorhands’ and a healthy dash of Dr. Seuss thrown in: Overall, considering the sardonic and cheerful tone (again, very Addams Family) I think we can overlook the slightly antisocial behavior [...]

You might think that the ZRC would be happy that this has apparently been declared ‘Zombie Awareness Month’. After all, Zombies do need more awareness – of their plight in society, their legal disenfranchisement, of the media’s endless campaign of misinformation against them and of the need for reform. Sadly, however, that is precisely the [...]

Short but bitter and to the point: In an alternate world Romero didn’t just make films based around a vision he saw. He wasn’t that crazy filmmaker that made movies about people who came back to life, he was the premiere zombie killer! Unfortunately when he killed off most of the outbreak he had to [...]

I actually have an adorable Zombie hat of my own which I need to photograph someday; the art director made it for me. I was thus very happy to see that we’re not the only ones who like friendly looking Zombie hats: One of our readers, John Fertig, was kind enough to send in a [...]

We’ve talked about automobile advertising here before on the ZRC blog, believe it or not, with the odious and hateful campaign Ford did for the Fiesta not too long ago. Thankfully there are more enlightened auto companies out there, and Honda has a new ad series that features a remarkably open and tolerant depiction of [...]

Here’s a bit of an roundabout way to get the ZRC talking about Zombies. Neil Gaiman and some very talented friends set out to make an album in 8 hours; 8 songs, hence the band name of ’8in8′. The project was surprisingly successful, though it was as frequently observed only 6 songs in 12 hours, [...]

Yes we do appear to have another case of ‘Splash Zombies into Absolutely Anything’, thanks for asking: When we were children we all read the classic storybook stories of Red Riding Hood, The Three Blind Mice, Jack and Jill, the Gingerbread Man and many other stories that taught many of us valuable lessons in life.
