Yeah, hmmmmmm, ya know, when it comes to defining Jason as a zombie or not, you first have to define a zombie. So...........................................................
Definitions of 'zombie'
1. (noun) zombi, zombie, living dead
a dead body that has been brought back to life by a supernatural force
2. (noun) zombi, zombie, zombi spirit, zombie spirit
(voodooism) a spirit or supernatural force that reanimates a dead body
3. (noun) zombi, zombie, snake god
a god of voodoo cults of African origin worshipped especially in West Indies
4. (noun) automaton, zombi, zombie
someone who acts or responds in a mechanical or apathetic way
"only an automaton wouldn't have noticed"
5. (noun) zombie, zombi
several kinds of rum with fruit juice and usually apricot liqueur
Okay, I do believe he fit definition 1,2 and 4. So yes, in that case he is a zombie.
But...............
He doesn't eat flesh, he cannot turn another into a zombie through a virus or curse, he CAN be shot in the head and survive.
All in all, I think the best definition of what Jason is would be a reverent.
Reverents are intelligent undead who return from the grave to get revenge, normally on the ones who killed them. They cannot be destroyed until they destroy said people who killed them.I just think the makers of the different movies needed more money, so he seeks revenge on people who fit the profile of said people who killed him, so he's more of a reverent undead serial killer. Or, he's a zombie.
