Ok, seriously, for a mall store catering to teenagers who don’t know what a well-printed t-shirt looks like, Hot Topic is managing to push a lot of ZRC buttons. We’ve talked previously about their Anti-Zombiism on the blog, but this shirt really makes it official: Killing zombies may sound like fun, but after a while [...]

‘Mars Needs Moms’ was a beloved children’s book that was adapted into a spectacularly poorly received animated film, released earlier this year in March. You may not have heard of the movie, and odds are you certainly did not see it; no one at the ZRC has either, although our Cultural Historian Andrew Leal was [...]

Etsy, home of individually made items sold by various artisty types, can be a truly wondrous bazaar of the bizarre, but I wasn’t expecting an Anti-Zombie greeting card: “I’ve got my eyes on you, babe!” is an original ink/watercolor drawing by me, reproduced on this card. The bloodstains around/under the eyeballs are hand-painted on the [...]

It’s a busy week at the ZRC Compound, with poster work, pamphlet writing, print jobs and more, but we’re trying to stay on top of it. I did have time to check out the latest episode of previously reviewed as Zombie Friendly web series, ‘Mind My Brains, Darling!’ however. This latest chapter deals primarily with [...]

We’ve had our issues with Cracked.com before, and this video certainly isn’t perfect, presenting some harmful stereotypical imagery about the Differently Animated, but on the whole it seems to be a satire of the Zombpocalypse concept. Check it out: Dealing With The Guy Who’s Clearly Hiding a Zombie Bite — powered by Cracked.com See, they [...]

The ZRC’s Cultural Historian Andrew Leal suggested that I take a look at ‘Mind My Brains, Darling’, a new web comedy series concerning the Differently Animated, and I’m glad that he did so, as it has turned out to offer us a small glimmer of hope from increasingly Anti-Zombie Europe. ‘Mind My Brains, Darling’ is [...]

I have to say, sometimes Living Supremacists take things too literally. You don’t actually have to grind Zombies into the dirt to keep them down… but if you are that literal, it seems there are those out there with products in mind for you: Perhaps needless to say, a doorstop shaped like a suffering Zombie [...]

Naturally news of the latest big Anti-Zombie hate song comes to us from our evil alternate universe counterparts over at the ‘Zombie Research Society’: Back in late April, 2011 ZRS head Matt Mogk and Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian sat down to talk zombies. You can read their full conversation on the Suicide Girls blog HERE. [...]

Finally, another positive thing to review! I was getting worried: This Ugly Americans shirt features a motivational poster style design seen in Mark Lilly’s office at New York City’s Department of Integration. The word Equality is printed below the image of a zombie and a human shaking hands. The ZRC has heard some good things [...]

I had previously discussed a review on BuyZombie of ‘The Dishonored Dead’ by Robert Swartwood here on the ZRC blog, and the author was kind enough to send us a review copy to peruse. I got a bit sidetracked by Chicago outings/madness, and also wanted to give myself plenty of time to digest the book [...]
