It has been a momentous year for Zombie Rights. The ZRC has done outreach galore, dipped our toes into political controversy, led a Zombie Rights rally in Illinois and even participated in the world’s first (to our knowledge) Zombie Rights Debate in Victoria, Texas. But this post isn’t about us. Standing up for the rights [...]

I’m not certain that the video is any more sympathetic to the Differently Animated than ‘The Walking Dead’ itself, but at least it’s viciously satirical about the televised bloodbath against the Zombie Community that has, inexplicably, become one of the most watched things on TV: From the sketch comedy group POKYPAC comes The Walken Dead, [...]

Background: Noted author Neil Gaiman hatched a sort of pro-literacy/pro-literature movement for Halloween which has come to be known as ‘All Hallow’s Read’. Put simply: you should, asserts Gaiman, give scary books out for Halloween alongside candy, which as he notes, is also very important. All well and good. But why does the promotional video [...]

I was all prepared to rip into this new trailer for ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ for the usual litany of (perfectly valid) complaints about the rampant Living Supremacism of the RE Series, but I have to admit in all honesty I was distracted by something else: truly rampant to the point-of-anachronism, classic b-movie sexism. Check it [...]

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 [...]

The ZRC blog previously looked at ‘A Zombie’s Day Out’, a short film by Travis Betz, and that in turn led us to a previous film by Mr. Betz also relevant to our mission titled ’4 Years’. ’4 Years’ has an interesting premise, whereby a young woman about to be Zombified left her future Zombie [...]

I think it’s about time for another short film review, don’t you? ‘Zombie’s Day Out’ is a quirky and very inventive little film that you kind of have to see to understand. How else can I get across the idea of a movie whose story is told entirely from ankle-height? Here, it’s only a couple [...]

Normally here on the ZRC blog, the most we discuss dietary matters is in our ongoing effort to dispel certain harmful myths about Zombies and their nutritional requirements (ie, that all Zombies eat human brains, that they cannot control their craving for your flesh, etc). However today we have an example of advocates of a [...]

We were linked to a new webseries at what has to be one of the worst possible times via the ZRC Twitter: during last weekend’s marathon computer meltdown. Thanks again by the way to Microsoft for that one. I’m STILL reinstalling software. At any rate, what to think of ‘Zombie Hunter’? Well, the way it [...]

You know, I’ve watched more Zombie-bashing webisodes than I care to THINK about but we still miss some here at the ZRC, and so I haven’t seen any of this ‘Dead Wait’ show yet. Apparently it was popular enough amongst the bloodthirsty internet crowds to get a second season, and the trailer delivers on violence [...]
