History
Zombie was built in 2012 and made its debut in Memphis, TN in 2013 with Sean Duhon driving. Zombie has always been a huge fan favorite, with many fans face painting and dressing themselves to resemble zombies, including Sean. In 2013 and 2014, Sean and the truck were invited to the World Finals in Las Vegas.

In 2014, arms were added to the truck for competition. Before that, the arms were for display only. The truck's decals were decreased.

In 2015, the team expanded to two trucks. Bari Musawwir drove the second truck at the 2015 Fox Sports 1 Series and would get invited to World Finals 16. A Zombie encore was featured at World Finals 16 with multiple Zombies, all having different paint schemes, arms, and hair styles.

In 2016, four Zombies were ran. Tyler Groth joined the team and drove the yellow Zombie from the 2015 Monster Jam World Finals Freestyle encore in the West More Monster Jam tour on the Double Trouble chassis. Bari Musawwir drove the skeleton Zombie in the East More Monster Jam tour. A temporary yellow Zombie, with a slightly different design than Tyler Groth's, would be run on the Madusa (truck) chassis during first quarter from late January to March when Madusa was injured and unable to drive. It would be driven by Brandon Vinson (Arlington), Alx Danielsson (Oakland), and Joe Sylvester (Vancouver and El Paso). Sean drives the original body.

In 2017, all Zombies went back to the original body. Sean stops driving for Monster Jam. Four Zombies were once again campaigned. Bari and Tyler once again compete in More Monster Jam, Bari on the east and Tyler on the west. Ami Houde joined the team and would be the first full time female Zombie driver, who ran the More Monster Jam Central Coast Tour. In October the body is run on Devin Jones' Barbarian truck for two stadium shows leading up to Haloween.

In 2018, Five Zombies were run. Bari, Tyler, and Ami each ran a More Monster Jam Tour. An additional body was run by Travis Mowery on the Storm Damage chassis for first quarter. Colt Stephens also joined the team due to his Brodozer truck body not being ready in time for its first show.

List of Zombie bodies
Standard- The normal Zombie body. A pale grey, with tattered blue clothes, and ripped skin. The original version was more blue, with more blood. This however, was changed after complaints about it being too scary.

Skeleton- The skeleton Zombie was a version run by Bari Musawwir in smaller shows. It features a skeleton paint job with skeleton arms, and cracks. It had purple clothes, and for the encore had ultraviolet lights in the eyes. Monster Jam cancelled this appearance after it's first few shows, as the body was difficult to continiously make.
