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, [...]

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 [...]

I really don’t know what to make of truly awful, mercenary and opportunistic ‘journalism’ like this sometimes: Rioting, looting, muggings, cars and buildings on fire – London has witnesses apocalyptic scenes on its streets over the past three days. Scenes which many said looked like those from a film depicting the end-of-the-world. … The star [...]

Really, people, just stop it: Let’s not turn our kids into fear-filled zombies! By Scott Sager for The Brooklyn Paper Did you hear the one about the boys attacked by a big, brown bear in Alaska? No joke, true story. Just a couple of weeks ago, a group of boys on a wilderness learning trip [...]

Given the explosion of Anti-Zombie and outright Living Supremacist fiction over the last few years, it was probably inevitable that we would see publishing imprints dedicated explicitly to publishing more attacks on the Differently Animated. And so it has come to pass with ‘Print is Dead’: Print Is Dead is up and shambling, keeping us [...]

The so-called ‘Zombie Research Society’, who seem to have never conducted any actual research on Zombies beyond skimming previous works of Anti-Zombie prejudice and extrapolating from hate fiction, had a panel at Comic-Con this year, and they shot video. Naturally we feel the need to respond to their allegations and slanders. Here’s the first part [...]

Ever want to know how you ‘research’ a truly odious call for violence against Undead Americans? Well, thankfully for the study of propaganda by future generations, the Army Times published a couple of additional pieces to complement their clarion call for hatred that we earlier savaged here on the ZRC blog. First up is a [...]

I knew there would be negative consequences from the extremely inappropriate and highly discriminatory CDC blog post about the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ from a couple of months back but I have to say I wasn’t expecting this from the Army Times: The U.S. government is now acknowledging what many have feared for years: The zombies are [...]

We’ve heard this song and dance before from the ZRS and professional Zombie haters like Dr. Scholzman: “I watched some highly inconsistent Anti-Zombie movies and now have deduced *the* best, entirely fictional, all-encompassing, heavily biased ‘explanation’ of what makes Zombies tick!” Sort of like phrenology for the 21st Century: In case you missed it, Wired.com [...]

‘Mars Needs Moms’ was a beloved children’s book that was adapted into a spectacularly poorly received animated film, released earlier this year in March. You may not have heard of the movie, and odds are you certainly did not see it; no one at the ZRC has either, although our Cultural Historian Andrew Leal was [...]
