Rob Zombie Biography

An auteur filmmaker and music artist with shrewd insight and creative vision, Rob Zombie challenges audiences as he stretches the boundaries of film, music and publishing.

Zombie’s latest accomplishment is Dimension Film’s second edition of the Halloween franchise: HALLOWEEN 2. The latest work of genius hit the theatres on Labor Day weekend of 2009. This is coming off the coat tails of Zombie’s initial reinvention of John Carpenter’s smash cult horror film HALLOWEEN. The move premiered number one at the box office breaking all Labor Day Weekend 2007 records, while grossing an estimated 31 million dollars.

HALLOWEEN 2 is Zombie’s fifth written and directed feature. Prior to the success of HALLOWEEN, Zombie released the critically-acclaimed film THE DEVIL’S REJECTS (2005), the follow-up to his cult classic HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES (2004). Zombie’s twisted, animated, R-rated feature film THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO was initially unleashed on the world on pay-per-view early September 09. With great praise of Zombies brain-child, THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO then hit the ground running as a special limited theatrical run and has currently turned into a new cult collector film on the recent release of the Blu-ray DVD version that came out September 22nd.

Zombie’s HALLOWEEN earned him two nominations for Spike TV’s Scream Awards in 2008 for Best Director and Best Remake. Zombie and his masterpiece took home Best Remake for this new cult classic.

Zombie, an accomplished recording artist, has sold over fifteen million albums worldwide, making him one of Geffen Records’ top selling and longest running artists. The year 2009 brought Zombie yet another Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance for Lords of Salem off the Educated Horses album [Geffen Records]. 2009 also brings a new studio album, HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 on Geffen Records.

Additionally, he is the most prolific Geffen Artist when it comes to Gold and Platinum discs. His seven are the most total number by any Geffen artist solely on the merit of their Geffen output:

• La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 (1992) - US 2x Platinum
• Astro Creep: 2000 - (1995) - US 3x Platinum
• Supersexy Swingin' Sounds - the Astro-Creep remixes (1996) - US Gold
• Hellbilly Deluxe (1998) - US 3x Platinum
• American Made Music to Strip By - the Hellbilly remixes (1999) - US Gold
• The Sinister Urge (2001) - US Platinum
• Past, Present & Future - greatest hits compilation (2003) - US Platinum

Zombie has directed over twenty five hi-profile music videos having contributed recordings to soundtracks and is known for twisting the imagination and boundaries of both film and music. In 1995 Zombie won an MTV Music Video Award for "More Human Than Human," becoming the first self-directed artist to win such an award. Zombie has also directed numerous music videos for other artists besides himself, his band White Zombie, Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society and other distinguished artists including most recent Ozzy Osbourne. Fall 2009 brings the return The Hellbilly! The HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 TOUR brings back the Master of monster mayhem. Zombie is back destroying the United States on a full fall tour in support of his new studio album HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 on Geffen Records. Not since 1998’s super smash triple platinum HELLBILLY DELUXE has Zombie hit the road under that moniker.

The tour blasts off in Phoenix, AZ on October 29th, Las Vegas, NV on the 30th, and a very special Halloween event on the 31st in Hollywood, CA hosted by Uncle Seymour Coffins also seen recently in HALLOWEEN 2. Zombie will be accompanied by his longtime band mates -guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D, and drummer Tommy Clufetos.

“I am bouncing off the walls like a mental patient”, says Zombie “That tells me it’s time to take it to the stage and let the demons loose.”
