I know there’s a considerable audience for professional wrestling and its less-stage managed counterparts in the world of mixed martial arts and boxing, and on the whole, although I’m not particularly a fan of any of it, the ZRC doesn’t have an issue with consenting adults beating on each other to entertain their audience. However, [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign went to Chicago yesterday, well, the greater Chicago area (Schaumburg) for a DVD signing and release event by the ’3 Slices of Life’ cast. But first we had to prepare our inducements for Zombie Friendly behavior in the future; delicious, homemade chocolate chip cookies. (I was tempted to just make one [...]

The ZRC was, and remains, very happy about the news that Academy Award-Winning actor Jeff Bridges has signed on to play a Zombie police officer in the upcoming movie ‘R.I.P.D.’ In fact, we’re so happy that I asked the art director to whip me up a little fan-art, based upon a suggested Twitter tag for [...]

Youtube is rapidly becoming a revolutionary platform for distributing independent movies; we recently reviewed (and loved) Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story here on the ZRC blog, and it’s up for free viewing on Youtube for a limited time, for example. That is a finely acted and directed, Zombie Friendly musical experience. Then, however, there are [...]

It’s always good to keep an eye on Tom Savini and George Romero; they pop up unexpectedly from time to time and when they do it’s rarely good for the Differently Animated, ‘Creepshow’ aside: Tom Savini is a freaking legend, the guy has provided us with some of the greatest gore f/x for years, using [...]

Ignoring the thick layer of scorn heaped on the Differently Animated by the usual suspects at Dread Central, this sounds like it could be a winner: Let’s face it … just because you’re a rotting, shambling, undead thing with a hunger for human flesh doesn’t mean that you don’t need anyone to look out for [...]

We love Zombie Walks, marches, public events of almost all sorts here at the ZRC. In fact, next Saturday we’re attending the big 4th Annual Zombie March in Chicago and we’d love to see you there. However, news of this ‘Zombie Crawl’ in Brooklyn being used to collect footage for a movie about Zombies attacking [...]

Europe has gone absolutely nuts with the Zombie bashing! Here’s yet ANOTHER European film that bashes the Differently Animated coming out, this time from Scotland: Attack of the Herbals” is a “Evil Dead”/”Shaun of the Dead” style horror comedy, independently produced and shot in the North East of Scotland. Jackson McGregor returns to the tiny [...]

Sometimes I sincerely wonder if the universe is alive, malignant, and focused on thwarting both good taste and the advance of Zombie Friendly media. When someone essentially reboots the plot of ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space’ as a modern day indie film, you have to wonder if the world is out to get us: A [...]

Really, I wonder what’s up with Europe. They seem to be going more than a little deranged with their Zombie-bashing of late, which we’ve talked about here on the ZRC recently (as well as their oppression of even those who resemble Zombies a bit too much): The Netherlands France Sweden Germany What do all these [...]
