Hmmmm....
Typically, zombies are dead. Even reanimated they're still dead. Frankenstein's monster was MADE from dead guys, but he was alive. He's something different, usually referred to as an "animate." Golems, (and living snowmen) are considered animates too: they're alive. DIFFERENT life from what we know, but still alive. Ghouls are trickier, since they can be dead OR alive, depending on the continuity. (D&D ghouls are undead: souped-up zombies essentially. Lovecraft's ghouls were living things, possibly mutates since it was shows that a human could become one over time.) They always feed on the dead though.
