Naturally we here at the ZRC are in favor of Zombies protesting publicly, and even offer qualified support to the Living who wish to dress up as Zombies and protest in public. However, when Living people slap on makeup and shamble around to intentionally mime the worst and ugliest stereotypes about the Differently Animated, that’s [...]

I want to put a word of caution here at the start, because there ARE supposedly such things as ‘Zombie drugs’, at least in some interpretations of the Haitian Voodoo Zombification process. The potential existence of ACTUAL drugs involved with turning a person into a Zombie of some form only makes the following abuse of [...]

When you hear things like ‘the spirit of the Book’ you should know by now that the final product will bear extremely little similarity to the literary work that you loved (or in our case, hated): Get More: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog You had to guess he’d say things like that. The book doesn’t have [...]

I’m beginning to think that we’re going to have to retire, or at least diversity, the ZRC blog’s ‘Don’t Use the Zed Word’ tag, which we apply when journalists or pundits lazily apply the label ‘Zombie’ to something they dislike. In this latest case, we’re talking about big box stores that have cut back on [...]

One of the big gripes of the Anti-Zombie fanboys who love their ‘Dead Rising 2′ is that, inexplicably for a sandbox game, Capcom never provided them with a true sandbox mode, where they could soak their murderous hands in virtual Zombie blood without a pesky story, or objectives, or any sort of structure forcing them [...]

Just take a look at the story that E! Online is pitching with the headline ‘Brad Pitt Becomes Real Life Hero, Rescues Woman From Zombie Attack’: While shooting a scene in which 700 extras flee a pack of zombies, a woman slipped and fell, putting her at risk of being trampled by her fellow actors. [...]

I’m genuinely tired of seeing products marketed for the Zombie Apocalypse with no rational basis. Take this phone that Engadget thinks is worth keeping on hand for what is supposedly the end of days: You can never be too prepared. Whether you’re being chased by brain sucking zombies, hunted down by ruthless killer robots, or [...]

We talked previously about this event, and the sadly segregationist nature of the outing (and the theme park hosting it) before, here on the ZRC blog: Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is opening its gates to the undead for ONE NIGHT ONLY! ** But make it a day – gates open at 10am for humans, [...]

Just a quick update to note yet another peaceful and apparently successful Zombie Walk, this time in Salt Lake City. Although the media of course fails in this case to give the Walk the serious attention it deserves… sigh. We’re working on better media, folks. In the meantime, keep up the Walks! They really help [...]

Really? The Differently Animated community doesn’t have enough trouble without two jokers from Bloody-Disgusting.com hosting a little online cage match to determine the best stereotype of Zombies? Welcome one and all to a brand new series here on Dead Pixels, home of all things geeky and videogame-y. TJ and I have been slaving over our [...]
