This post is to try and get a lot of the stuff that’s been buzzing around my head in the context of the Dickwolves discussion down onto the blog so I can get back to our core mission of Zombie Rights agitation. 1) On ‘Trigger Warnings’ Having never heard of the term before the discussion [...]

Book about ‘Zombies’ Written in Haiku format Very bigoted. First, End of the World; The Narrator is bitten He becomes Undead. Gets very hungry, Acts out worst stereotypes Eats his own mother. Wanders the country To find people to devour Can’t just eat tofu? Gripping storyline, Reading may give you nightmares, Inspire hatred. ZRC condemns [...]

I always appreciate it when we can not just review something, but allow you, the ZRC reader, to see/read/listen/view/evaluate it in its entirety. It helps us in our never-ending quest to help you, the Zombie Ally, to familiarize yourself with the best, as well as the worst, in media about Zombies. Today’s review topic is [...]

This is an oldie but a fascinating case study in how an attempt at Zombie Friendliness can go off the rails and become… well, something very different. It’s also necessarily pretty heavy on spoilers, so if you wish to avoid that, just skip to the last paragraph for our rating. Some background: “My Zombie Lover” [...]

We’ve been looking for Zombie Friendly music for some time, and when we find it the ZRC always does our best to promote this relatively rare commodity. Naturally when we heard about a ‘Zombie Musical’ up for free viewing, we jumped at the chance to watch. Unfortunately this so-called ‘Zombie Musical’ is another four minutes [...]

It can be hard to evaluate an ongoing work, which is why, for example, I tried to be very careful with our recent review of the first episode of ‘Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?’ not to imply an endorsement of the show as a whole simply because of one episode in a series. Likewise, a [...]

We first heard about this new anime series some time ago, at which point I was fairly skeptical we’d see it in America anytime soon. I mean, most stuff that comes out of Japan relating to Zombies is drenched in gore and defamation, so would there be much demand for a potentially Zombie Friendly, and [...]

The ZRC learned about ‘Zombie Bites’ via Google and went to see if it was as unfortunately negative for the Zombie Rights movement as the title hinted it probably was. First, the basic description: You’ve been turned into a zombie! In order to survive you need to feed on human beings. Press the spacebar to [...]

The ZRC attended a New Year’s Eve party last week and surprisingly enough, even on our night off, The Cause found us and demanded attention, as the party-goers had Call of Duty: Black Ops playing on a tv downstairs. Eventually the siren song of Zombie Rights demanded that I try it out. The results were [...]

We decided to keep cracking away at those Masters of Horror episodes up on Hulu, so naturally ZRC-related curiosity led to the third episode from the first season, Dance of the Dead. Dance of the Dead concerns a young woman named Peggy working in a diner sometime in the near future. The United States has [...]
