You might think that the ZRC would be happy that this has apparently been declared ‘Zombie Awareness Month’. After all, Zombies do need more awareness – of their plight in society, their legal disenfranchisement, of the media’s endless campaign of misinformation against them and of the need for reform. Sadly, however, that is precisely the [...]

I’m really stunned at some of the stuff we come across here at the ZRC. For example, McPherson College, an allegedly liberal-arts oriented school, is actually putting out a viciously Living Supremacist comic book to promote the use of its library services: Follow the link to enjoy our finished Zombie Guide to Miller Library! There [...]

As much as I suspect you love it when I latch on to a quasi-academic excuse to be prejudiced against the Differently Animated, I had to comment on this one from The Zombie Feed: “But Where Did All You Zombies Come From?” by Brandon Alspaugh Zombies are always hungry. I had begun a fairly dry, [...]

First, let me say, wow. This is one of the densest and most complicated analyses of Zombie media I’ve ever seen. Second, of course, I have to say that it’s very deeply flawed and obviously incorrect on a number of points. This PopMatters article, entitled ‘Zombies, Reavers, Butchers, and Actuals in Joss Whedon’s Work’, by [...]

This kind of speaks for itself, but what the hey: The Walking Dead Girls is a behind-the-scenes look into zombie culture in the United States and the obsession into “”Sexy Female Zombies””. What is it about Zombie Bimbos or “”Zimbies”” that are starting to gain the worlds interest? Why are zombies now in mainstream culture [...]

We last talked about Dr. Steven Schlozman when the ZRC highlighted how a Harvard professor was pushing hate in a seminar for Living Supremacists. As disturbing as that was, it pales in comparison to the news that Dr. Schlozman has a new ‘novel’ out leveraging his medical expertise to spread more hate and fear about [...]

The news is going around the web about a book that the former Editor-in-Chief of Rue Morgue magazine has coming out about Zombies: The zombie phenomenon is unique in Western popular culture. From its origins in the voodoo beliefs of Haiti, it has become a key ingredient in today’s cinema, popular literature and comics. With [...]

We’ve mentioned the spinoff book from this touring comedy troupe/Anti-Zombie hate brigade before here on the ZRC, but British Anti-Zombie fanatics behind ‘How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse’ are coming to the United States: The team behind the award winning, sell out, cult, comedy seminar ‘How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse’ are about to take [...]

I was really saddened to hear about this story featuring an Anti-Zombie professor from my undergrad school, Indiana University: There is something keeping Stephen Watt up at night, and it’s not vampires, demons or malignant pudding, but rather a simple question: why is it that Americans love killing zombies? Watt, an English professor from Indiana [...]

Here is yet another story illustrating why the Zombie Rights movement is a natural ally to other oppressed minorities and their own quests for civil rights: Summerville High School and Fort Dorchester High School are lucky enough to have a Gay Straight Alliance even though they’re located in the the relatively socially conservative state of [...]
