We’ve condemned the open-air game of simulated Living Supremacist conflict known and played on many campuses as ‘Humans vs. Zombies’ before here at the ZRC. It’s repulsive, divisive and perpetuates harmful stereotypes of the Differently Animated. A ‘game’ like that should have no place at an institution of higher learning. Thus this news story has [...]

Wanted to post an update on the Auction, which closed recently, and thank all our readers and Zombie Strong fans for chipping in for a worthy cause. Altogether the ZRC and Zombie Allies across the country (and I mean that, I saw the shipping labels) raised $320 for the Red Cross, which I think is [...]

This is an outstanding development in the Undead Equality arena: Come out to the theater dressed as a zombie or get your makeup done there by CREATURE DISTORTIONS and help protest the adverse treatment of zombies by staging a ZOMBIE RIGHTS MARCH. Yeah thats right! ZOMBIE RIGHTS! Break out those signs and let the world [...]

Sorry for the scant news on the Lurch auction lately; let’s get up to speed quickly, shall we? The Zombie Rights Campaign solicited donations for a silent auction/fundraiser with proceeds to benefit the Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation, to be held at Famous Monsters of Filmland’s Convention in Indianapolis. We got a great response and [...]

Sorry gang, got a bit distracted running the ebay Lurch and dealing with some stuff in real life. Nothing to do with roving anti-Zombie mobs; just day-job kinds of things. We attended a party on Saturday night with some friends not in the Zombie Rights or indie movie community, and had an opportunity to try [...]

So the Famous Monsters Convention was a blast. We talked to a lot of people, sold some stuff, and raised quite a bit of money via our auction… But unfortunately, the crowds on Saturday and Sunday weren’t as large as we’d hoped, and a few items didn’t get sold. Not to worry though; we’re putting [...]

Saturday morning at the convention we brave members of the ZRC leadership ventured into the lion’s den, the pit of iniquity itself, the ‘Hall of the Living Dead’ on a rare and perilous mission of outreach: Get a bunch of zombie-movie celebrities, many of whom have made careers on Zombie-hatred, to sign a custom made [...]

Since the last ZRC post from the hotel lobby on Saturday night/early Sunday, the ZRC has had a busy time advancing the cause of Zombie Rights! We spent another fun-filled day in the vendor room at the FM convention, selling merchandise and auctioning off goods for Cancer Research, as well as The Cause. In fact, [...]

Hello Zombie Rights fans! We’re here at Famous Monsters of Filmland’s first annual convention in Indianapolis, IN. We’ve had a great first couple of days, and I haven’t had much time to get away to post online. I know, it’s the 21st century, but you wouldn’t know it from the hotel’s wifi. Still, The Cause [...]

Sparkly Vampires. You’re probably well aware of their presence in our society. A new movie glorifying their lifestyle has just come out in American theatres, to the acclaim of millions of underage girls. Who are their primary targets. You see, Sparkly Vampires aren’t like other Undead. They don’t just try to get by, live and [...]
