We’ve had to talk about, and dispel, the notion that any of a variety of extant diseases or infectious agents could suddenly and spontaneously become the fuel for a Zombie Apocalypse before here on the ZRC. Usually it’s some fungus that infects ants and manipulates their behavior, or Toxoplasma, whose effects on human behavior are [...]

We had this item passed to us by numerous individuals on Tuesday, but I believe The Horror Society, our long trusted correspondents, got it to us first: Yes, that’s right; a chart that claims to categorize all Zombies by two axes: speed and intelligence. Nevermind that the idea of a single, easily quantifiable measurement of [...]

Think I’m editorializing too much? Perhaps, but it’s hard to keep my temper when I read a man so steeped in Anti-Zombiism touting his achievements in defaming the Differently Animated: Q: What are you expecting from the first few weeks? A: It’s a funny question: I really don’t know exactly what they’re going to be [...]

I was not a fan of ‘30 Days of Night‘ as a graphic novel. The story lurches around, especially toward the end, and Ben Templesmith‘s artwork should be the new dictionary definition for ‘murky’. Plus, it’s really unkind toward our allies in the larger Undead Solidarity movement, the Vampire community. We’re not talking ‘Twilight’ bad, [...]

Capcom’s been a very busy company, and so they farmed out the code monkey work on one of their latest big Living Supremacist ‘Resident Evil’ titles to a Canadian firm with experience making tactical shooters. Among the ‘exciting’ features previously revealed is the ability to use the Differently Animated as human shields. Delightful. Now USA [...]

I’ve seen ‘The Escapist’ described as thoughtful and intelligent commentary on the gaming scene, but from this latest post about the peaceful Zombie supporters’ rally responding to recent events in Leicester I have no idea how they earned such a sterling reputation: If there’s one thing zombies love more than delicious human brains, it’s the [...]

(the book in question) We wrote about the hateful and odious piece of Anti-Zombie propaganda directed at children from our nemeses at the ZRS before here on the ZRC blog: I’m sorry, but this is just heinous, intentional Anti-Zombie indoctrination of children. That’s absolutely unacceptable; teaching children to *hate*? To hate Zombies? Even their own [...]

You probably read about the Leicester Freedom of Information request that led the UK city to admit that, no, it didn’t have any particular plans to persecute the Differently Animated in the event of a ‘zombie invasion.’ Supposedly left-leaning newsrag ‘The Guardian’ thinks that was a great excuse to publish an opinion column advising how [...]

The ZRC’s twitter feed exploded yesterday with news of a controversial protest of enormously unpopular and markedly Anti-Zombie Governor Scott Walker yesterday. There were a lot of quite frankly hysterical accusations that the protesters, dressed up as Zombies, had ‘shouted down’ the governor at an event for the Special Olympics. Of course, nothing could be [...]

We wanted to highlight yet *another* apparently successful Zombie Public Event here on the ZRC blog, and also to point out how even the most peaceable and outgoing Zombie activities can suffer slander from the Mainstream Media, as well as unfortunate bias from organizers: On Saturday, hundreds gathered in downtown Boston for the seventh annual [...]
