'''Rob Zombie''', born '''Robert Bartleh Cummings''' on January 12, 1965, is a Grammy-nominated American musician, film director, screenwriter and film producer.

He produced his most successful album, ''Hellbilly Deluxe'', in 1998. He followed it up in 2001 with ''The Sinister Urge''. Since then, Rob has divided his attention between a solo career and directing the sort of trashy, B-movie horror films that he loves so much. He recently attracted a lot of negative attention for his remake of ''[[Film/{{Halloween2007}} Halloween]]'' and [[Film/HalloweenII2009 its sequel]]. Riggs and Tempesta, tired of waiting around while Rob worked on films, left the band and started Scum of the Earth, a band whose sound is most similar to ''Hellbilly Deluxe''-era Rob Zombie.

White Zombie (its name taken from a 1932 Creator/BelaLugosi [[HollywoodVoodoo zombie flick]] ''Film/WhiteZombie'') was initially a NoiseRock band signed to an independent label. In this incarnation, they released two [=EPs=] and two albums, ''Soul-Crusher'' and ''Make Them Die Slowly''. The latter album showed them moving away somewhat from their noise rock sound in favour of Music/HeavyMetal.
