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 [...]

I guess I should block off some time to really protest this one but good: Paramount Pictures announced that the zombie epic, World Word Z, will be released on December 21, 2012. Ahh, the ZRS shows their usual, err, flair for accuracy with this post, but we thank them for the news nonetheless. *snicker* Yes [...]

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 [...]

We try to be optimistic about new forms of Zombie Media here at the ZRC after the stellar experience that was ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get behind this new rock opera about the Zombie Apocalypse: Actor Samn Wright, like a number of other stage performers in [...]

We talk a lot on the ZRC blog about the tendency for Anti-Zombie prejudice to lead people to classify anything or anyone they personally dislike as a ‘Zombie’. A lot. We even have a tag for it, ‘Don’t Use the Zed Word‘, here on the blog. However we’ve rarely seen a case this brazen: One [...]

I mean, geez: For many, playing Doublesix’s arena shooter Burn Zombie Burn was as satisfying as watching your old high school go up in flames (screw that place). And if you loved the game like so many others, then hot dog do we have good news for you: Game Set Watch has announced that Doublesix [...]

Read a really childish and defamatory essay in the New York Times by one Charles Duhigg called ‘Coming Soon: Invasion of the Walking Debt’ today that bears paying attention to for yet another example of the attempt to tie Zombies to something people dislike, this time a bad economy and arguments in Congress over the [...]

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 [...]
