History Music / RobZombie

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 his music career and writing, producing, and directing the sort of trashy, B-movie horror films that he loves so much. He 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 (Tempesta later split from Scum of the Earth to play drums for Music/TheCure).

* ProductionPosse: Zombie uses many of the same actors in his films.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Rob Zombie's stage presence can sometimes border on menacing, but off-stage he's a relaxed and kind man.

!! Rob Zombie uses the following tropes:

* ShoutOut: His song "The Man Who Laughs" from ''Hellbilly Deluxe 2'' is about... ''Literature/TheManWhoLaughs''. The rest of his lyrics are ''[[ReferenceOverdosed full]]'' of references to ScienceFiction and/or {{Horror}} films, to the point that Yseult lampshaded it in an interview when "El Phantasmo and The Chicken Run Blast-O-Rama" was brought up, saying that "You kinda know what it means if you live in Zombie world."

** "Living Dead Girl" is based on ''Film/TheCabinetOfDrCaligari,'' opens with a sample of the line "Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love for the dead?" from the trailer for ''Lady [=Frankenstein=]'' and references ''Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine.''

* GutturalGrowler: On most of his songs. He's actually rather soft-spoken otherwise.
