Rob Zombie has mastered all angles of shock rock’s horror theatrics as both the frontman of his own “spookshow” solo act and the writer, director and music supervisor for nightmare-fueling films like 2005’s The Devil’s Rejects and the 2009 remake of Halloween. Zombie broke into the New York underground scene in 1985 as the co-founder and vocalist of White Zombie. By combining a childhood obsession for classic horror movies with musical interests that ranged from industrial rock to dance music, he cemented the band as one of the most influential alternative-metal acts ever by the time they disbanded in 1998. Rob Zombie continued his experimentation as a solo artist with his 1998 debut album Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart and went triple-platinum behind his two highest-charting singles on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, “Dragula” and “Living Dead Girl.” After directing many of the music videos for White Zombie and his self-titled act, Zombie took his terrifying performance aesthetics to the big screen with his feature directorial debut, House of 1000 Corpses (2003). He’s simultaneously pursued both artistic outlets ever since, releasing his seventh solo album The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy in 2021 while directing the film adaptation of The Munsters in 2022.
