1* ApprovalOfGod: [=YouTube=] based music project Psychostick did a parody of ''Dragula'' called ''Zombie Claus'' which got Rob Zombie's full endorsement was reposted on his official Facebook.
2** In general Zombie irregularly reposts fan art and tattoos he likes. He has been especially fond of a art piece by artist Travis Falligant that had the [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby Doo-gang]] meet in Captain Spaulding, drawn to be accurate of the art style of WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou.
3* ColbertBump: Rob has claimed that White Zombie's career was saved after their video for "Welcome to Planet Motherfucker" was played on ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'', with the titular characters giving the band their approval. Sales for ''La Sexorcisto'' jumped from 25,000 to 500,000 almost instantly, and the band went from playing in small clubs to large arenas. White Zombie would contribute "I Am Hell" to the album ''The Beavis and Butthead Experience'', and Rob Zombie would later work with Mike Judge by contributing drawings for the hallucination sequence in ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica''.
4* CreatorBacklash: Not solely for the album's material, but Rob, as well as the rest of White Zombie, hated the production on ''Make Them Die Slowly''. At the time, they recorded with a new producer, Bill Laswell, who reportedly made them record the whole album ''again'' and then rushed the re-recording session too quickly without any time to clean things up in post. He would also force the band to record their parts in strange ways, such as having bassist Sean Yseult sit in a chair to play the whole time. Rob himself would say that he literally cried the day he heard how it finally sounded, and the band was so soured on memories from the album that they completely removed any songs from it off their live setlists by the time their following album was released.
5* CreatorCouple: Zombie's then-girlfriend Sean Yseult played bass in White Zombie. His wife, Sheri Moon-Zombie, has acted in all his films to date.
6* DoingItForTheArt: His revision of ''[[Film/{{Halloween2007}} Halloween]]''. Even after the studio offered him the director's chair, he wouldn't do it until he got permission from Creator/JohnCarpenter himself. [[Film/HalloweenII2009 The second film]] was to make sure that the series got a proper ending, and didn't become another FranchiseZombie (no pun intended).
7* ProductionPosse: Sheri Moon Zombie has been in all of his films. Creator/SidHaig, Lew Temple, Tyler Mane, and Creator/MalcolmMcDowell have been in half of them.
8* RealSongThemeTune: Various White Zombie and Rob Zombie tracks have been used by professional wrestlers as theme songs.

10** Wrestling/ChrisJericho used "Electric Head Part II: The Ecstasy" during his Wrestling/{{ECW}} run.
11** Wrestling/LanceStorm used "El Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blast-o-Rama" in ECW.
12** ECW itself used Thunderkiss 65 as a theme song.
13** WWE's [[Characters/WWEDivas Linda "Shaniqua" Miles]] very briefly used "Feel So Numb".
14** The participants in the battle royal[[note]]Except for [[Music/{{Jumpsteady}} Evil Dead]], who used ICP's "The Dead One", and Wrestling/TheRockNRollExpress, who used Music/BobSeger's "Old Time Rock and Roll"[[/note]] on Music/InsaneClownPosse's ''[[Wrestling/JuggaloChampionshipWrestling Juggalo Championshxt Wrestling Volume 1]]'' [=DVD=] walked out to "Dragula."
15** Outside of wrestling, the FightingGame ''VideoGame/WayOfTheWarrior'' featured various licensed songs from White Zombie's ''La Sexorcisto'' as its entire soundtrack.
16* RecycledSoundtrack: {{Sampl|ing}}ed dialogue from his ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}'' trailer for ''Werewolf Women of the SS'' for a song of the same title.
