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. Our good friends at the Horror Society have teamed up with a local theatreplex that is (unfortunately) showing [...]

To whom it may concern:
Greetings from The Zombie Rights Campaign, the world’s premiere advocacy organization for the rights of the Differently Animated (popularly known as Zombies). Here at the ZRC we strive day in and day out to represent the noble and misunderstood Zombie, working hard to advance the cause of true Undead Equality [...]

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 [...]

As we count down the days to the highly anticipated Lurch for the Cure Silent Auction, the ZRC will be highlighting the individual items as they come in, so as to thank those who generously gave to this worthy cause, and to show off how much cool swag that you can purchase at the Famous [...]

My Xbox is telling me that there’s a new Left 4 Dead 2 addon. I’d previously read a bit about it, and apparently the downloadable content adds a bit of backstory and allows a crossover between the casts of the two games. Further, one of the original cast is supposed to die in [...]

I keep forgetting, amidst all the behind the scenes stuff, to update the blog.
I am deeply shamed.
We went to Horrorhound a week and a half ago, and man was it a lot of fun in the name of Zombie Rights. This year we didn’t have a booth, unfortunately, but we made up for it [...]

So, Zombie Cafe. We reviewed it some time ago, and found the overall experience quite satisfying and the gameplay largely Zombie-friendly. Since then we have been in discussions with the game’s creator and publisher, Mr. Wayne West of Spare Brains Games, and the ZRC has found the dialogue most productive. So productive [...]

So it turns out that in Dungeons and Dragons there is a non-villainous class of undead, called Revenants. They serve the death goddess, who, in 4th Edition terms, is neither good nor evil (like, one would suppose, death itself).
Really, they’re less of a ‘race’ than a class, a sort of profession that [...]

I’m going to go through the source books we own in more detail soon, but just from the start of this 4th edition campaign the Technical Director and I are engaged in, it definitely seems so. Many character classes start off with, or can eventually obtain, powerful anti-undead spells and abilities. And these [...]

A couple of weeks ago now, the ZRC received a comment on our blog from game creator Wayne West of Spare Brains Games, who kindly offered to send us a review copy of their Zombie Cafe card game.
Of course the ZRC was very pleased to take up this noble responsibility, and so last weekend [...]
