  if you use kono, then it would be kono zombie. but the meaning would also be different. kore wa zombie desu : this is a zombie. kono zombie wa (something) desu : this zombie is (something).

  hanarosa is correct.
  
  この → followed by a NOUN (or an adjective + noun)
  For example:
  ~ このzombieはかわいいです
  ~ このかわいいzombie ... (though I doubt zombies are cute)
  
  これ → followed by a particle, usually
  ~ これはzombieですか？

  この is short for これの, which is これ with the の particle. As such, この needs no particle (because it already has one).
