I’ve hesitated to write this post about our ill-fated attendance at Geek.kon all week, despite interested parties, Zombie Allies and dear friends asking about it in the intervening time, because the ZRC is about positive change, working toward a brighter tomorrow for the Living and Undead alike. We don’t like burning bridges. But, as longtime [...]

We try to lend support whenever and wherever we can for Zombie Friendly public outings, and the ZRC loves Zombie Walks in general. This event to raise awareness of brain-injuries, however, relies on defaming the Differently Animated to do so: Zombies roamed the streets of Casper Saturday morning, shuffling, moaning, frightening children in passing cars [...]

We received a comment here on the blog recently from an ‘animelover’ who seems to have trawled our archives back for months and discovered the post covering the ‘Zombie Walk Against Walker’, a prominent and highly successful bit of political activism by the Differently Animated here in Madison last spring. For the record, as we [...]

Notice: The following post contains details from Max Brooks’ hyperviolent, amoral and sadistic Living Supremacist Magnum Opus ‘World War Z’ to help illustrate the incredible impropriety of using it as the base of a year of introductory academic instruction. Proceed with caution. I’m shocked and appalled by this outrageous misuse and abuse of developing young [...]

More details are emerging on the bizarre and obviously unhinged new Suda 51 game ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’, with details hearkening back to some unusual ideas of Zombiism, a recent Zombie Friendly anime series, ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and chainsaw obsessions: Scott Warr, producer on Lollipop Chainsaw at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, provided a behind-closed-doors sneak peak [...]

Sometimes a single article ties into so many things we work on here at the ZRC at once it’s hard to parse, and so it was with this piece from The Inkwell about a new Anti-Zombie first novel and the process of independent publication in the age of Kindle: Run for your life! The zombie [...]

One of the big gripes of the Anti-Zombie fanboys who love their ‘Dead Rising 2′ is that, inexplicably for a sandbox game, Capcom never provided them with a true sandbox mode, where they could soak their murderous hands in virtual Zombie blood without a pesky story, or objectives, or any sort of structure forcing them [...]

I can understand how the general public might assume that the ZRC would be in favor of censorship of the violent and depraved Anti-Zombie media, but I can assure you that is not the case. We believe, here at the ZRC, in the marketplace of ideas, and that the best way to counter Anti-Zombie, even [...]

We previously mentioned what seemed like great news for a Zombie-themed, and perhaps even Zombie Friendly burger restaurant opening in Des Moines. Well, the grand opening fast approaches, and alas, while the Zombie theme is intact, the Zombie Friendliness seems to be absent: With seating for more than 100 on its sidewalk patio, the restaurant’s [...]

In this sad story from The Rude Pundit, we see that Anti-Zombie prejudice is creeping into all aspects of our society and all manner of expression. (Picture courtesy of The Rude Pundit, who will come around to our Zombie appreciating stance someday I’m sure.) Increasingly, Americans see *everything* as relating to the ever-present, never-actualized ‘Zombie [...]
