Reminder: Geek-Kon and Resident Evil Countermarch

John Sears | August 30, 2010

Just a bit of a programming note to remind anyone and everyone that The Zombie Rights Campaign will be at Geek Kon here in lovely Madison, Wisconsin this weekend, September 3rd-5th.
This is our first year at the local geeky convention and we’re hoping to have a good time and do some serious outreach for the [...]

Zombie Walk Upgrade to Full-Scale Zombie Rights March

John Sears | August 26, 2010

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 know about the [...]

John Sears | August 25, 2010

The Zombie Rights Campaign has been notified of a protest opportunity involving the new Resident Evil movie, RE: Afterlife, which comes out on September 10th; we previously discussed this technological leap forward in anti-Zombie cinema here.

Rifftrax: Reefer Madness

John Sears | August 21, 2010

Not much to say about our trip to the latest Rifftrax the other day; unlike Plan 9 it isn’t obviously relevant to Zombie Rights stuff… except for a couple of quick Zombie jokes inserted into the show.
Really, I’m beginning to wonder if the Rifftrax people have some deep-seated psychological problems with the Undead.
On the other [...]

Romero Crawls Out of His Bunker to Spread Fear

John Sears | July 30, 2010

So the ‘Dean of the dead’ has graced the world with his presence once more to hold court on what further indignities and misery he can inflict upon the Differently Animated.
It’s a short interview but he still manages to dismiss both the damage he’s done and the cultural significance of Zombies, both within works foisted [...]

Zombie Movie ‘Banned’ From Australian Film Festival by Australian Classification Board

John Sears | July 25, 2010

This is a controversial story and the details are sketchy, but so far it seems like the Australian government has quite the bias against Zombies:
Bruce La Bruce’s gay Zombie porn film L.A. Zombie was set to feature as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival’s (MIFF) Night Shift program. That is until the Australian Classification [...]

World War Z: It’s Official, and We’re On the Case

John Sears | July 25, 2010

So you’ve no doubt seen the big news from Comic-Con: the long-rumored World War Z movie is very real, it really does star Brad Pitt, and it is in development.
All the ZRC can say for the moment is that we’re appalled. In the annals of Anti-Zombie literature, hatemonger Max Brooks looms large, having done [...]

Zombie-Demons and Euro-Zom Movies

John Sears | July 15, 2010

Ok, so the latest trend sweeping European horror, it seems, is the revival of the indie supernatural zombie genre. With [Rec] 1 and [Rec] 2, and soon to be [Rec] 3, the Spanish horror scene is looking to relive the heyday of European unenlightened anti-Zombie filmmaking. ([Rec] 1 was remade in the US [...]
