I know we’ve been skeptical about the upcoming ‘World War Z’ film, but this article makes it sound like the real Apocalypse has been behind the cameras: It now seems that everything was upside-down on “World War Z.” “A nightmare from top to bottom,” describes one source with ties to the production, which appears to [...]

Well, our brief agreement with the Zombie Research Society has to come to a crashing end with their endorsement, once again, of a siege mentality when it comes to dealing with the inevitable emergence of the Undead as a large-scale demographic phenomenon. A literal siege mentality, actually: Now, after a slew of gory news reports [...]

Sigh. The mainstream press really won’t let up with this ‘call anything we don’t like or find creepy a Zombie’ routine. Case in point, the ‘Zombie ant’ saga continues as researchers find that the previous, allegedly ‘Zombie’ making fungus is itself parasitized by another fungus: For the first time, researchers have discovered how an ant [...]

When will the Disaster-Preparedness-Industrial-Complex realize it isn’t cool to defame Zombies to promote being ready for disasters? SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. – What would happen if there was an outbreak of smallpox, flu or anthrax? The response would be the same even if zombies attacked. More than two dozen students at the University of Rhode Island [...]

It really is sad on a number of levels that the Zombie Community is constantly besmirched by comparisons to various ailments and disorders affecting Living people by those sad individuals, especially online, who are always looking for the imminent downfall of civilization from Undead uprising: A weird disease spreading in Africa has health officials baffled—and [...]

I really don’t know what to make of some of the stuff we see in our email inboxes at the ZRC sometimes: Or, and this is most likely, there will be a zombie apocalypse and the zombies will chew through all the charger cords to all our electronic devices (these will clearly not be brain-sucking [...]
