I was informed about ‘Zombina and the Skeletones’ on Twitter and then kind of forgot to follow up on it until now, which just shows… err.. how busy I am with many other ZRC projects, yes. Perhaps a tiny bit unfortunately for the ZRC’s mandate, despite the name of the band, we’re not dealing with [...]

*snicker* Yes, I’m feeling a bit childish today, why do you ask?

We’ve talked about automobile advertising here before on the ZRC blog, believe it or not, with the odious and hateful campaign Ford did for the Fiesta not too long ago. Thankfully there are more enlightened auto companies out there, and Honda has a new ad series that features a remarkably open and tolerant depiction of [...]

Here’s a bit of an roundabout way to get the ZRC talking about Zombies. Neil Gaiman and some very talented friends set out to make an album in 8 hours; 8 songs, hence the band name of ’8in8′. The project was surprisingly successful, though it was as frequently observed only 6 songs in 12 hours, [...]

Some additional video and information has come out about the upcoming Anti-Zombie expansion for ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ and, surprise surprise, it’s all George Romero’s fault somehow: So the story in-game seems to be that Mr. Romero was shooting another one of his Anti-Zombie films and somehow awoke, and clearly angered, the Differently Animated, [...]

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ is getting a new map expansion pack, and naturally, that means more Anti-Zombie violence, but this time they’re really going all out: It’s rare that a DLC for a game gets an all star voice acting cast but that’s what’s happening with the new zombie level included in the upcoming [...]

While down in Bloomington I had the chance to discuss horror movies and Zombie Rights with a group of very informed individuals, and the topic of bad movies came up. Naturally, I mentioned how awful RE: Afterlife had been, and found there was universal consensus on this point among the assembled filmgoers: that movie was [...]

The ZRC is going on a long road trip tomorrow to Bloomington, IN, home of The Dark Carnival so we can see an Atomic Age Easter show. ‘Night of the Lepus’, alcohol, degenerates, sounds like a blast. For that reason, the blog will probably be silent tomorrow, so I’m leaving you all with a bit [...]

Mercifully, it omits a lot of the Anti-Zombie violence. Sadly, it doesn’t get rid of all of it, and the Scott Pilgrim-esque presentation trivializes the suffering of the Differently Animated a great deal: For shame on all involved. A sober reexamination of the original, and heinous, alleged comedy ‘Shaun of the Dead’ is what was [...]

I have to preface this by stating that, much as is the case in the Living Community, within the Zombie Community there are a variety of opinions on all sorts of topics. Therefore the ZRC may not always agree with strong and articulate voices from our Undead fellow travelers, but we feel it incumbent upon [...]
