Ah, the noble and humble Freedom of Information request; how much government inaction, sloth, corruption and malfeasance has it uncovered? Far too much to estimate I’d say. Still, opening the books of government to every Tom, Dick and Harry also occasionally means opening them to whackos who’ve read too much Max Brooks and seen too [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

We talked previously about this bizarre sounding independent Zombie period piece before on the ZRC blog; now more information is available: Sir Ian will play the role of the narrator in The Curse Of The Buxom Strumpet, an 18th-century zombie romp. The film was developed from a short made last year — E’gad Zombies! Like [...]

Ok, Europe, can we have a quiet word please? …. All right, I think we’re alone. Look; what is wrong with you people precisely? At first it seemed like a fluke here and there, a movie like ’28 Days Later’ would come out, or ‘Shaun of the Dead’, that sort of thing. We were inclined [...]

It’s undeniably true: we live in a Youtube age. I mean, just look how much time the ZRC spends on media available on Youtube, or how many trailers we’ve embedded on the site hosted on the mega-behemoth video service. Likewise we have found the service an invaluable resource for hosting our own videos and short [...]

Or to be more precise, it brings the cinematic ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ there, as the novel on which it is based already did so: Vaca Films, the company behind the previously announced Welcome to Harmony, is now in development on Apocalypse Z, which is being adapted for the screen by Javier Gullon. David Alonso is set [...]

Here at the ZRC we try to use appealing, non-gruesome artwort in what might be called a more ‘cartoon’ like style (from the pen of our very own Art and Technical Director) to help open the mind of the public about the possibilities of Zombie-Living coexistence. We’re also not above employing adorable mascots like Zombie [...]

In America, immigration is a charged topic and framed mostly along the lines of people coming across from Mexico, legally and illegally, along with policy questions over H1-B visas that rankle the tech sector in particular, mostly out of proportion to the relatively small number of visas actually granted. Periodically measures come up attempting to [...]

I was forwarded this story rather vociferously and repeatedly on Twitter, which only goes to show that we have an engaged following even internationally, which is very humbling for The Zombie Rights Campaign. In short, although great progress has been achieved in some areas, especially here in the ZRC’s home base of Madison and in [...]
