As I said, only some people refer the skeleton crew to zombies. But it's an understandable mistake, since these skeletons had eyeballs as well as more than just the usual tattered pieces of clothing. Nevertheless, no official material (at least that I got my hands on) described them to be zombies - only as living skeletons. Perhaps that clears up where they stand officially.
