Well, ok, it’s hardly an exciting time to hang out with the ZRC alone (unless you’re just that enthusiastic about Zombie Rights and Undead Equality, in which case, we love you) but the ZRC is definitely taking Chicago FearFest up on this deal: With the fear fest coming up very soon, we got a special [...]

Going to a convention for the ZRC isn’t just about outreach, of course – we also use these opportunities to gather vital intelligence on the Anti-Zombie movement, its propaganda and popularity, as well as search for other Zombie Friendly products and potential allies. We really had a great haul in this regard from Horrorhound Columbus: [...]

At The Zombie Rights Campaign we believe in creating as broad a coalition, and being as inclusive as possible in our quest for Zombie Rights and, even more expansively, toward Undead Equality. One of the questions we get asked most at conventions, on Twitter, via website comments or anywhere else is whether we stand for [...]

We got passed the trailer for ‘The Dead Mile’ a while ago on Twitter and I’ve been remiss in not mentioning it before now, so here, take a look and be suitably outraged: What’s going on here? Well, the film’s About page has some clues. Essentially we’re talking about a Zombie Apocalypse movie whose ‘outbreak’, [...]

All right, all right; you’ve got us, Chicago Fear Fest. Even though you’re arriving right on the heels of our Ohio-excursion to Horrorhound in Columbus, The Zombie Rights Campaign can’t turn down this opportunity. First, you tempted us with a Chicago-premiere of sure-to-be-huge Anti-Zombie film [REC 3] and ‘Cadaver Christmas’, then you sweeten the deal [...]

We’ve mentioned ‘Juan of the Dead’ a bit here on the ZRC blog, as it’s been getting regular attention in the press for being a fairly unusual film. Hailing from the more-typically arty and somewhat isolated Cuban film scene, ‘Juan of the Dead’ is instead an attempt to land some of that (tragically) lucrative Anti-Zombie [...]

You get this subset of Anti-Zombie fiction a lot, actually: the notion that the Nazis would, naturally, want to create Zombies for nefarious purposes. It has a long history, going back at least to ‘King of the Zombies’ in 1941, a dreary Scooby-Doo grade story about the good White Americans crashing on a Caribbean island, [...]

Remember ‘Stag Night of the Dead’? The UK Zombie-Slaughtering-’Comedy’ where a bachelor party goes to a Zombie killing sort of theme park and somehow sets off the Zompocalypse? Well, it’s out on iTunes in America now. The DVD release is apparently May 1st, and in the meantime BuyZombie helpfully provided the world with this trailer [...]

The good folks at The Horror Society have a new film festival, and, almost as if trying to lure us in, have a big Zombie movie announcement for it: they’re holding the Chicago/Upper Midwest premiere for [REC 3}. We’ve talked about that particular upcoming film before here on the ZRC blog. Also screening during the [...]

I swear, if nothing else the forces of Anti-Zombiism are fiercely devoted to innovative new uses of social media to advance their cause. As are we. The sheer creativity our foes possess, however, with regard to marketing is something else: So, I’ve been working on a trailer for a new Year Zero feature film since [...]
