The latest Resident Evil movie is out in theatres, whereas the ZRC movie review squad, in the form of yours truly, has yet to see it due to many and sundry school obligations. But that’s what film critics are for, right? And the Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Rating for this splattery, violent Anti-Zombie installment of the [...]

Just wanted to drop a quick note on the blog about a horror film event coming up this Friday that might be of some interest to ZRC readers in the Chicago area: TERROR IN THE AISLES 12 The Ultimate Horror Triple Feature! September 14, 2012 THE STUFF, FRANKENHOOKER & IRON SKY Portage Theater 4050 N. [...]

Hello out there, Zombie Rights Allies and Knowledge-Seekers alike. Just a quick note from your ZRC President here to say that since I start law school orientation next week (to learn new tools and techniques to protect our clients and promote The Cause) the ZRC is taking a short semi-vacation until September 7th when we [...]

First, let me apologize for the belated post; ran into a few difficulties, including photographing some items. So the Thing Rights Campaign was devised, in part thanks to the encouragement of ZRC pal Michelle Hartz, to take the important issue of Things and their proper, and often sadly ignored, civil liberties to Flashback Weekend, featuring [...]

I have to say, while this ParaNorman teaser spreads some unfortunate misunderstandings about Zombies (like that they all eat Living humans, let alone exclusively), it still, in a strange way, feels sympathetic toward the Zombies even as it misunderstands them: I’m wary of the ‘humorous fat sidekick’ kid as well as the Zombie-bashing, but that’s [...]

We’re not ones to shy away from the big issues here at The Zombie Rights Campaign. Mummies? We back them. Deadites? We’re there for them. The upcoming Flashback Weekend, starting tomorrow in Chicago, presented us with a unique opportunity and quandry, however. There’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime sort of event, a 30th Anniversary Screening [...]

We’ve talked a lot about ParaNorman here on the ZRC blog, and I still feel that the final movie is shaping up to be pretty Anti-Zombie. What with the protagonists fighting Zombies and all. Still, sometimes there’s still a hint of Zombie Friendliness, or just plain tolerance. These Olympics themed ads are all right, especially [...]

This is more of a ‘cool stuff for H.P. Lovecraft fans’ thing than a Zombie story per se; at least, I believe the (allegedly) ‘Evil’ Clergyman is more like a ghost than a Zombie. Or maybe a time traveler. Still, the movie might have gone with more of an Undead route and the Art Director’s [...]

Wow. I for one am severely disappointed in Christopher Lloyd for appearing in upcoming Anti-Zombie (and Anti-Demon) film, ‘Dead Before Dawn 3D‘: So basically, let me get this straight. An irresponsible shop owner keeps a magical weapon of mass destruction sitting on a high shelf where it can fall and be released. He allows an [...]

At The Zombie Rights Campaign we support a fully integrated society, Living and Undead working and prospering side by side. Naturally this would extend to full marriage rights for the Undead, and, perhaps more controversially, the right for a Zombie to marry the Living person of their choice (and vice versa). We know that supporting [...]
