An undead person commonly found in the spiritual belief system of Voodoo. Zombies are humans who have had their soul stolen by supernatural means and are forced to work for their "zombie master". Another more morbid version, that are often portrayed in horror films, depict Zombies as cannibalistic beings.
– Pad of Definitions,(2.04 Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things), Official Website
In popular culture, zombies take a number of forms. There are those raised from the dead by a spell or ritual or reanimated by some supernatural event (such as the movies of George Romero), or people turned into mindless violent cannibals by a virus (such as in the movie 28 Days Later or the Resident Evil franchise). Some are mindless, shuffling monsters - others cunning and quick. Methods of despatch generally involve beheading, staking or fire.
If the definition of zombie is any person raised from the dead - then many characters on Suepernatural would fall into that category - including Sam and Dean! See: Dead...or are they? for more information on chacrters who've come back to life.
More traditional zombies have featured in the following epsiodes:
Contents
2.04 Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
- Angela Mason is raised from the dead by a friend who had a crush on her, who uses an ancient greek ritual . She goes around killing those who have wronged her. Her presence causes plants in the vicinity to die. Eventually Sam and Dean kill her by luring her back to her grave, and staking her in her own coffin.
- The tagline for the promo for this episode was "true love never dies".
- Sam's pursuit of Angela is used as the reason he breaks his wrist and wears a cast in his right arm in the episodes from 2.05 Simon Said until 2.11 Playthings. The injury was actually caused during a stunt Jared did in the filming of 2.03 Bloodlust.
2.09 Croatoan and 5.04 The End
In both these episodes, people infected with the Croatoan virus - called "croats" by Future!Dean - could be classed as zombies as they lose their sense of reason and become unthinking murderous creatures.
4.07 It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester
- Samhain raises the Dead from their graves in the mausoleum.
5.15 Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
Townfolk are raised by the horseman Death and come back perfectly normal. Until about 5 days later they begin to kill.
