Really? This was necessary? Atlanta, Ga – October 1, 2011 – After the smashing success of its first year, the massive Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse attraction has returned for the 2011 Halloween season. Patrons are treated to 100,000 square feet of zombie madness as they navigate through abandoned hotels, office buildings, a post-apocalyptic village and more [...]

Oh how I wish I didn’t have to read about so many Anti-Zombie spectacles: A family dressed all in purple, likely arriving from the football game, parked their car in Aggieville on Friday. They opened the doors to get out, chatting with one another, when suddenly Roger Adams, curator of Special Collections and associate professor, [...]

Naturally we here at the ZRC are in favor of Zombies protesting publicly, and even offer qualified support to the Living who wish to dress up as Zombies and protest in public. However, when Living people slap on makeup and shamble around to intentionally mime the worst and ugliest stereotypes about the Differently Animated, that’s [...]

Out of all the things you will read on this blog about those who hold unfortunate Anti-Zombie prejudices.. is definitely the following. But at least it’s occasionally very funny, and even though the ‘Zombies’ are unfortunate stereotypes, they usually prevail over the treacherous and untrustworthy Survivors. Who are playing themselves, kind of. Which says a [...]

We try to lend support whenever and wherever we can for Zombie Friendly public outings, and the ZRC loves Zombie Walks in general. This event to raise awareness of brain-injuries, however, relies on defaming the Differently Animated to do so: Zombies roamed the streets of Casper Saturday morning, shuffling, moaning, frightening children in passing cars [...]

Sadly, this one doesn’t sound hugely Zombie Friendly: EL PASO- If you happen to be going to Downtown El Paso tonight, don’t get scared if you see a bunch of zombies walking around. They’re not real. They’re taking part in a launch party organized by El Paso Comic Con, which is two weeks away. The [...]

We mentioned the apparently-full-of-Anti-Zombie-stereotyping musical ‘Song of the Living Dead’ once before here at the ZRC, and now the reviews are in, so to speak, and it doesn’t sound good. First, an overview piece tells us that the play indeed indulges in many of the worst and ugliest prejudices about the Differently Animated: Promethean’s Margaret [...]

Another band that hates and fears the Differently Animated! Ugh why is the music community so prejudiced? Canadian hard punk rockers Kill Matilda are back with a vengeance, but this time it’s not just Matilda they’re after. Releasing their debut full-length, I Want Revenge, on October 11 and hitting the road on their Zombie Apocalypse [...]

We talked previously about this event, and the sadly segregationist nature of the outing (and the theme park hosting it) before, here on the ZRC blog: Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is opening its gates to the undead for ONE NIGHT ONLY! ** But make it a day – gates open at 10am for humans, [...]

Another good news/bad news situation for Zombie Rights activism as we are presented with another seemingly fun public event about Zombies that is unfortunately being organized by people who are not Zombie Friendly, to say the least: Winnipeg’s zombie community is preparing for its annual reminder that the undead are, in fact, not dead. … [...]
