You pretty much described traditional zombies to a tee. They were reanimated corpses, often having being taken over by spirits. No damage would work on them and in some cases they could put themselves back together.

They also didn't attack indiscriminately, they attacked or didn't attack whoever and whatever their master commanded them to, be that Voodoo priest or Necromancer.

Hollywood zombies are not the only or first type of zombie.

That is different, those zombies don't have free will, and would be given instructions by the priest, that they had to do, or get destroyed trying to do it. Paranormal fiction (especially Laurrel K Hamiltons books) go into it alot deaper and spread that type of zombie out (showing lots of variations), but even in that case where you could have zombies with no rules/masters etc (and zombies who retained their original memories etc), it was not the same as Jason.

All those zombies where killable in some way, fire, extreme destruction etc. In theory Anita (in those books) , could bring them back from just about any state, but...that was her magic, not the zombies themselves.

Jason is a spirit, not a zombie, but he does inhabit dead bodies and can use his power to heal them, make them stronger etc.

Would be interesting to see how a Necromancer would interact with Jason though.
