Well, we’ve had a day to decompress from the astoundingly Zombie movie packed inaugural Chicago Fear Fest and have a lot to report to you, the loyal Zombie Friendly readers out there. CFF sets a record for the ZRC, actually; we saw seven separate Zombie-related films for the first time at Chicago Fear Fest. The [...]

Yes, and we had a very productive and often infuriating time watching almost all of the many Zombie-related films on offer. In total we saw 7 that were directly relevant to the ZRC mission, including ‘REC 3′, ‘Juan of the Dead’, ‘Zombie Bohemia’ and even the outrageous piece of revisionist history called ‘Abraham Lincoln vs. [...]

The ZRC is always cautious about just putting Zombies into any old story for the novelty’s sake, because usually that novelty is anything but novel and degenerates to an Anti-Zombie pogrom, but handled properly, this sounds like it could be a bit more interesting: Castle has an episode coming up that’s hopping on board a [...]

Well, ok, it’s hardly an exciting time to hang out with the ZRC alone (unless you’re just that enthusiastic about Zombie Rights and Undead Equality, in which case, we love you) but the ZRC is definitely taking Chicago FearFest up on this deal: With the fear fest coming up very soon, we got a special [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign has officially returned from our hugely successful trip to Columbus, Ohio, agitating for Zombie Rights, and we have quite the story to tell you, Zombie Allies of the Internet: We arrived at the convention center for Horrorhound and found that we had been given a premium spot for outreach, right beside [...]

And boy are my arms tired! Well, no, it’s more my back after another 9 hours of driving, but hey. Got lots of photos to look through and upload tomorrow, emails to catch up on, Twittering and Facebooking (is that a verb?) as well. But for tonight? Sleep. Blessed sleep and dreams of a Zombie [...]

Posts and Tweets will be light Wednesday and Thursday as we’re off to Horrorhound for a weekend agitating for Undead Rights! Once there we will have lots of Twittering and pictures and outreach for you, and a full wrap-up on the blog after the convention as usual. We’re taking this Zombie Rights thing on the [...]

At The Zombie Rights Campaign we believe in creating as broad a coalition, and being as inclusive as possible in our quest for Zombie Rights and, even more expansively, toward Undead Equality. One of the questions we get asked most at conventions, on Twitter, via website comments or anywhere else is whether we stand for [...]

The good folks at The Horror Society have a new film festival, and, almost as if trying to lure us in, have a big Zombie movie announcement for it: they’re holding the Chicago/Upper Midwest premiere for [REC 3}. We’ve talked about that particular upcoming film before here on the ZRC blog. Also screening during the [...]

Oh really? After a narrow defeat in NanoWriMo ZRC pal Michelle Hartz has laid down the gauntlet to challenge the Zombie Rights Campaign to another month of writing furiously: Michelle says: March 2, 2012 at 9:17 am (Edit) Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said you’d have a better chance of beating me at Fitocracy than NaNoWriMo. [...]
