‘ZERO Heavy Industries’ Develops Real-Life Firearms to Fight the Boogeyman, Err, Zombie Apocalypse

| June 25, 2011

We talked about Anti-Zombie targets for gun-toting Zombophobes to use in their murder-practice sessions recently, as well as merchants of death for sad, sad roleplaying nerds who want to pay hundreds of dollars for a proper Anti-Zombie sword. What about taking it to the next level (of fear, for the ZRC)? Is there anyone out [...]

The ZRC Comments on ‘How Dangerous is a Zombie’ Chart/Controversy

| June 24, 2011

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 [...]

Patent Pending Video ‘Dance Till We Die’ – A ZRC Review

| June 24, 2011

We love to review music here on the ZRC blog; if nothing else it’s a nice change of pace. So I wish I had better news to relate about the video for Patent Pending’s song ‘Dance Till We Die’, but.. we don’t. In fact, the video does a great disservice by spreading not just conventional [...]

Old Ad Featuring Frankenstein’s ‘Monster’ Shows Sympathy for Undead

| June 23, 2011

This is a random little gem of Undead sympathy in advertising that I came across.. somehow or other… in my internet journeys and wanted to share. I have no information on whether the arthritis treatment it’s hawking is the least bit effective, but their humor and sympathy for a man who’s come back from the [...]

‘Romero’s Diner’ Shirt Pushes Brain-Eating Fallacy Even in Absence of Brain-Eating

| June 18, 2011

The brain-eating myth about Zombies is very hard to combat, though we try here at The Zombie Rights Campaign. Simply put, the overwhelming majority of Zombies, whether in real life or in the biased media loosely based upon real life, are not fixated upon eating brain tissue. And as mentioned many times before on this [...]

ZRC Reviews: ‘Zombie Zin’

| June 14, 2011

I consider myself pretty well qualified to review almost any Zombie-related product that comes across my desk-like-arrangement of tables, but a Zombie wine? That one puzzled me for a bit. As you can no doubt imagine, living in Wisconsin I’ve grown to appreciate beer as the first and foremost alcohol in my life. Before moving [...]

ZRC Reviews: ‘The Confessional’

| June 8, 2011

Youtube is rapidly becoming a revolutionary platform for distributing independent movies; we recently reviewed (and loved) Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story here on the ZRC blog, and it’s up for free viewing on Youtube for a limited time, for example. That is a finely acted and directed, Zombie Friendly musical experience. Then, however, there are [...]

Max Brooks and ‘The Extinction Parade’

| June 4, 2011

Yes I know this story came out months ago… I think we were told about it in February. Still, news of the day often takes precedence, and besides, I foolishly wondered, how much more could Max Brooks really contribute to the canon of Living Supremacist fiction? As it turns out, quite a bit. The premise [...]

‘Shaun of the Dead’ Shirt ‘The Plan’ Offensive but Film-Accurate

| June 2, 2011

Oh, ‘Shaun of the Dead’, also known as Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright’s gushing love letter to George Romero, has long been a thorn in the Zombie Community’s side for the way it trivializes and mocks the plight of the modern Zombie, as well as for the way it added fuel to the resurgence of [...]

‘Zombie Fitness’ Shirt

| June 2, 2011

Here at the ZRC we support Zombies staying in peak Undead shape, although I believe many varieties of the Undead don’t actually need exercise to do so; Baron Mardi stays in top physical condition with a rigorous alcohol poisoning regimen, for example. Still, Zombies vary widely, and for those of you who do require exercise [...]
