An Anti-Zombie Convention in Wisconsin? Outrageous!

| January 6, 2012

We’re a pretty tolerant area for the Zombie Community here in Wisconsin, and the Undead are active members of our communities, as we’ve copiously documented on the blog. So when I heard about an explicitly Anti-Zombie angle on a local gaming convention I was shocked and offended: WESTON — Every year, the D.C. Everest Gaming [...]

Fun Outdoor Activity or Extremist Training Camp for Young Living Supremacists?

| December 29, 2011

Look, I get that there’s a great deal of concern about physical fitness and exposing children to a potential love of the outdoors, I really do. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about getting that exposure for your spawn, and this? This is the wrong way. This week, kids from [...]

Is Seattle the ‘World Capital of Zombies’?

| November 4, 2011

I appreciate an attempt to delve into ‘Zombie Culture’ but I think this video misses the mark and instead hits the Zombie Cosplay segment of the horror community (a practice also known at least under some circumstances as ‘Greenface’): In reality, Zombie Culture is about so much more than just scaring people. It’s a diverse [...]

The ZRC at Nightmare on Chicago Street Part III: Final Thoughts

| October 31, 2011

Just wanted to make one last post about our awesome trip out to ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ both to thank the city of Elgin and the various groups that put on the show for having us, and to show off some fun pictures that didn’t get showcased anywhere else. At one end of the street [...]

The ZRC at ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ Part II

| October 31, 2011

In our last update I talked about the quite frankly spectacular show put on at the ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ event and how difficult our task of spreading Zombie Awareness in such an environment looked upon arrival. I mean, they hit just about every conceivable trope of the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ genre of pernicious fiction to [...]

The ZRC at ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ Part I

| October 31, 2011

So as you may know from previous blog entries and Twitter, the ZRC attended the ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ event in Elgin, Illinois on Saturday, and we even managed to strike a significant blow for Zombie Rights along the way. More on that in a later post. But before we get into our own ZRC [...]

The ZRC Will Be at ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’

| October 28, 2011

Remember the apparently No-Zombies-Allowed event being held in Elgin, Illinois this upcoming weekend that we previously mentioned on the blog? Well, clearly the ZRC wanted, nay, needed to do something about this disturbing instance of Zompartheid, and so we called in a couple of favors with our many connections in the horror community (ie, we [...]

‘Survive Norfolk’? If Mere Survival is Sufficient, That’s Sad

| October 13, 2011

Being October now we’re seeing an awful lot of events like this one come up, sadly Anti-Zombie: For the past six months, Metzger has held down her administrative duties at Davis, as well as a part-time job at Naro Expanded Video in Ghent and a demanding gig as a community organizer of sorts. Last year, [...]

Kansas Declares ‘Zombie Preparedness Month’, Descends Into Barbarism

| October 9, 2011

I really don’t know what to say; this development has left me almost speechless: TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas emergency management officials are urging residents to prepare for an invasion of zombies as part of a national disaster readiness campaign. … The Kansas Division of Emergency Management says if people are prepared for zombie attacks, they’re [...]
