Here’s a heartwarming update to the scandalous mistreatment of protesters and Zombie Rights activists that we reported on (back in May): Fifteen people who were arrested preemptively on the day of the Royal Wedding have been granted permission to challenge their arrests by way of Judicial Review. The claimants, who were arrested from different locations [...]

Really, it’s just tragic to see universities indulge this hateful and increasingly paranoid man in his fantasies and violent delusions about the peaceful Differently Animated: “If you don’t know how to survive a zombie attack, chances are you will when I get done talking,” said Max Brooks, author of New York Times best-sellers, “The Zombie [...]

We’ve talked about the campus game sensation of ‘Humans vs. Zombies’ before here on the blog, but it’s nice to see the game outed for what it is, a sad demonstration of lingering Anti-Zombie prejudice in our society.

Just wanted to make one last post about our awesome trip out to ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ both to thank the city of Elgin and the various groups that put on the show for having us, and to show off some fun pictures that didn’t get showcased anywhere else. At one end of the street [...]

In our last update I talked about the quite frankly spectacular show put on at the ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ event and how difficult our task of spreading Zombie Awareness in such an environment looked upon arrival. I mean, they hit just about every conceivable trope of the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ genre of pernicious fiction to [...]

So as you may know from previous blog entries and Twitter, the ZRC attended the ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ event in Elgin, Illinois on Saturday, and we even managed to strike a significant blow for Zombie Rights along the way. More on that in a later post. But before we get into our own ZRC [...]

Remember the apparently No-Zombies-Allowed event being held in Elgin, Illinois this upcoming weekend that we previously mentioned on the blog? Well, clearly the ZRC wanted, nay, needed to do something about this disturbing instance of Zompartheid, and so we called in a couple of favors with our many connections in the horror community (ie, we [...]
