zombi

Voodoo-raised body

Zombi is an older or alternative spelling of zombie—a reanimated corpse in Haitian folk belief, or more broadly, a person who seems lifeless or moves mechanically.

The spelling zombi appears in earlier texts and in contexts emphasizing the word's Haitian Creole origins.

In voodoo tradition, a zombi is a body revived by sorcery to serve a bokor (sorcerer).

The more common spelling zombie now dominates in horror fiction and film: a zombie apocalypse, zombie movie.
