No, we couldn’t be there in person this year, but apparently someone sympathetic to The Movement was! A march for zombie civil rights: In the aftermath of 2011’s fifth-annual Zombie Walk on Saturday, one “walker” was spotted carrying a sign reading, in appropriately mangled English: “Legalize same zombie sex marriage Support ilegal zombie immigration Keep [...]

The Xbox 360 has clearly become one of the central fronts in the battle against Anti-Zombie media, with its continued exclusives and early releases of Anti-Zombie games. As previously discussed, however, the Marketplace for Xbox downloadable games is a hotbed of Anti-Zombie media, and Microsoft seemingly has no problem letting legions of Living Supremacist developers [...]

Yes, as previously discussed here on the blog when we covered the Malta shoot for ‘World War Z’, Glasgow is in the sights of these ridiculously ambitious Living Supremacist filmmakers and the apparently very involved shooting process is coming up now: The streets of Glasgow can get a little quieter with the onset of the [...]

A spinoff book. A set of ridiculously creepy busts. An Anti-Zombie board game. Yes, ‘The Walking Dead’ is descending on Comic-Con like a plague of ravenous locusts, determined to destroy all compassion toward the Differently Animated as well as, perhaps, all of Western Civilization. They’re ambitious that way. AMC is helpfully even providing you with [...]

Light spoilers below in the io9 interview excerpts, proceed with caution: You know, when I click an io9 link about Zombies I honestly grimace a bit. Going to their site to read anything about the Differently Animated is usually the mental equivalent of smacking myself in the hand with a hammer. Yet of course, I [...]

The supposedly left-leaning UK rag ‘The Guardian’ has been in the ZRC’s sights before, caught touting flagrantly Anti-Zombie viewpoints in the wake of the Leicester affair. Given that, I suppose it was inevitable they would show up and add their two cents to this tragic Bristol City Council story: Local authorities routinely have detailed emergency [...]

We’re always happy to hear about another peaceful opportunity for the Differently Animated to get out there and meet their Living fellow-citizens in a fun and festive atmosphere, so naturally the ZRC was pleased to learn about an annual Zombie Walk in Hobart, Tasmania from our Australian correspondent @H0110wPeTaL on Twitter. However, even though the [...]

We’ve talked previously about how the Anti-Zombie bigot forces as well as the press in the UK got all upset that Leicester didn’t have a ready plan in place to oppress the Differently Animated in the event of the farcical and childish ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ fantasy. The ZRC blog also covered a peaceful protest/response to that [...]

Anti-Zombie prejudice has been splashed into the Western genre before, notably in Marvel Zombies 5 for instance. More broadly, horror-westerns have been seen sporadically, including ‘Dead Bones’ with Ken Foree (of ‘Dawn of the Dead’ infamy). Still I have to give this film, which from the trailer appears rabidly Anti-Zombie, some credit for sheer scale [...]

I have fond memories of my four years at Indiana University. Well, four years in school for me, then living on campus for a while with the art director, but you get the idea. Indiana University has a fairly prominent student paper, the Indiana Daily Student. As the title suggests, it is written and published [...]
