Summary: Dark, twisted, gory and unrepentent, ‘A Cadaver Christmas’ is like a modern, drunken, somewhat overlong ‘Evil Dead’ set at a Community college. Zombies are very badly mistreated. Rated Living Supremacist. There are a lot of different kinds of Anti-Zombie movie (unfortunately). You have your Romero-esque social commentaries, your ‘Shaun of the Dead’-ish black comedies, [...]

Yet another film review from our recent trip to Chicago Fear Fest! Summary: ‘Dead Weight’ strikes a new and devious blow for Anti-Zombie films – it manages to marginalize the Zombies from the, ahem, ‘Zombie Apocalypse’! Rating: Full review behind the cut.

After the screening there was an informative discussion of the film and we have some video for you to peruse. First, a discussion of how the film came about and [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign has officially returned from our hugely successful trip to Columbus, Ohio, agitating for Zombie Rights, and we have quite the story to tell you, Zombie Allies of the Internet: We arrived at the convention center for Horrorhound and found that we had been given a premium spot for outreach, right beside [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign is particularly proud of the solid working relationships that we have fostered over the years with artists, filmmakers, bloggers, journalists and authors, all in an attempt to promote a more Zombie Friendly and enlightened view of the Undead Community, both here and abroad. One of the most fruitful of these relationships [...]

We at The Zombie Rights Campaign have long believed that Zombies should have, and must demand (peacefully of course) a place at the table when it comes to politics. Showing solidarity with their fellow Undead, Zombie Walks for particular causes, meetings with public officials and vote-seekers, all are appropriate methods for the Differently Animated to [...]

The Zombie Research Society has some of their usual fearmongering about the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ up, today concerning the potential utility of dogs and cats in sniffing out (and persecuting) the soon-to-revive-as-Zombies: There’s little question that the transformation caused by a zombie infection could be easily picked up by any number of common and exotic animals.

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 been working behind the scenes here at the ZRC to get ready for Horrorhound, and that brings us to the subject of today’s post: literature. Did you know that the ZRC’s resources page has helpful (and lovingly illustrated) informational pamphlets on a variety of topics? It’s true, we do. And all of said pamphlets [...]
