Strategies
With
Because he has the Afterlife trait, you can play him once again safely on the next turn if the original Haunting Zombie gets destroyed from a trick or a bonus attack. Other than that, this zombie is not in a tribe that benefits from other cards and has low stats, so he becomes less useful in the late-game. He can also be hard to use early game as well, as he can likely take up an entire turn to use. Still, he can put pressure on the plant hero because he may easily come back when they destroy him. Decks that have few zombies can benefit with Haunting Zombie, as he can be replayed again. He is best used in Immorticia decks that focus on tricks, though he can also be used in The Smash decks that contain many expensive zombies, or Electric Boogaloo decks due to Electric Boogaloo's lack of ability to draw cards.
Against
Mostly anything can destroy this due to his low health. Sour Grapes can destroy him with ease, especially if the returned Haunting Ghost is on the field. In plant missions, Immorticia will likely have lots of these on field from the start.
Plants with the Splash Damage trait such as Lightning Reed, or tricks like Berry Blast, Scorched Earth, or Water Balloons can easily deal with him, although you need to repeat the procedure to completely destroy him due to his Afterlife trait.

Trivia
- Haunting Zombie is not a ghost; rather, he is a zombie with a white sheet on top of him.
- However, Haunting Ghost, the Afterlife version of him, is a real ghost.
- His description is a nod to Cattail's Almanac entry from Plants vs. Zombies, as "Refuses to be pigeonholed" is also the last line on its entry.
- Haunting Zombie and Octo Zombie are the only cards with the Afterlife trait.
- Coincidentally, they are both premium Beastly zombies.
