Yes, but that use of the term zombie differs significantly from the way it is / would be used in TWD.
Raising the dead to control them vs. the dead rising and eating the living. [Reply]

I thought voodoo zombies were people enthralled while living and they die once they have served their purpose. they just appear lifeless because they are empty headed automatons. is that wrong? [Reply]
