zombifies
Turns into zombie
Zombifies means to turn someone or something into a zombie or zombie-like state.
In horror contexts, this is literal transformation into an undead creature.
More commonly, it describes rendering someone dull, unthinking, or mechanically compliant: Staring at screens all day zombifies the brain.
The word can also characterize making something lifeless or devoid of its original vitality: Corporate ownership zombifies local businesses.
