zombified
Made into undead
Zombified describes someone or something transformed into a zombie-like state—mindless, sluggish, or devoid of normal responsiveness.
The word applies literally in horror contexts but more often figuratively: I was completely zombified after pulling an all-nighter.
Zombified can also describe things rendered inert or mechanical: zombified consumers staring at their phones.
