What the f*** is a zombie anyway?

Which of the following are zombies:
(answers at the end)

The term ‘zombie’ refers to bit of voodoo mythology in which a normal person is brought back to life by a bokor. This is very different from the contagious reanimation so popular in our culture, which is interpreted in so many different ways that a singular definition seems nearly impossible.

However, I have narrowed it down to a simple definition:

A zombie is a human corpse that has reanimated, AND seeks to kill living humans.

This is synonymous with the living dead, the dead [in zombie fiction], mush-brain, mush-head, shamble, lurker and dozens of other terms.

So using this simple definition, which of our subjects are zombies?

• Poorly drawn serial killer.
• Trying to kill you, but very much alive.
• Not a zombie.

  

• Romero type-2 shamblers.
• Dead. Trying to kill you.
• Definitely zombies.

• 28 days later rage-zombies
• Dead. Trying to kill you.
• Definitely zombies.

  

• Neighbor lady inviting you to a ‘jewelry party’
• Dead. Trying to hook you in pyramid sales scheme--which may destroy your soul, but does not technically ‘kill’ you.
• Not a zombie*.
