Zombies in Matthew?

MATTHEAN ZOMBIES? (Brought to you by the braaiiins of Ashleigh and Jeremiah.) It would be interesting to see the case made, but unfortunately the post does not follow up the title.

Matthew 27:52-53 also makes me think of H. P. Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.
The essential Saltes of Animals may be so prepared and preserved, that an ingenious Man may have the whole Ark of Noah in his own Studie, and raise the fine Shape of an Animal out of its Ashes at his Pleasure; and by the lyke Method from the essential Saltes of humane Dust, a Philosopher may, without any criminal Necromancy, call up the Shape of any dead Ancestour from the Dust whereinto his Bodie has been incinerated.' - Borellus
