Trivia / Rob Zombie

• Approval of God: 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.
  • 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 Scooby Doo-gang meet in Captain Spaulding, drawn to be accurate of the art style of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!.
• Colbert Bump: Rob has claimed that White Zombie's career was saved after their video for "Welcome to Planet Motherfucker" was played on Beavis And Butthead, 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 Beavis And Butthead Do America.
• Creator Backlash: 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.
• Creator Couple: Zombie's then-girlfriend Sean Yseult played bass in White Zombie. His wife, Sheri Moon-Zombie, has acted in all his films to date.
• Doing It for the Art: His revision of Halloween. Even after the studio offered him the director's chair, he wouldn't do it until he got permission from John Carpenter himself. The second film was to make sure that the series got a proper ending, and didn't become another Franchise Zombie (no pun intended).
• Production Posse: Sheri Moon Zombie has been in all of his films. Sid Haig, Lew Temple, Tyler Mane, and Malcolm McDowell have been in half of them.
• Real Song Theme Tune: Various White Zombie and Rob Zombie tracks have been used by professional wrestlers as theme songs.
  • Edge used "Never Gonna Stop" for several years in WWE
  • Chris Jericho used "Electric Head Part II: The Ecstasy" during his ECW run.
  • Lance Storm used "El Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blast-o-Rama" in ECW.
  • ECW itself used Thunderkiss 65 as a theme song.
  • WWE's Linda "Shaniqua" Miles very briefly used "Feel So Numb".
  • The participants in the battle royal^note Except for Evil Dead, who used ICP's "The Dead One", and The Rock 'n' Roll Express, who used Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll" on Insane Clown Posse's Juggalo Championshxt Wrestling Volume 1 DVD walked out to "Dragula."
  • Outside of wrestling, the Fighting Game Way of the Warrior featured various licensed songs from White Zombie's La Sexorcisto as its entire soundtrack.
• Recycled Soundtrack: Sampled dialogue from his Grindhouse trailer for Werewolf Women of the SS for a song of the same title.
  • This was also done with House of 1000 Corpses and the song of the same title - in this case, the song was technically released before the movie, which was completed at the time but would have to sit on The Shelf of Movie Languishment for two more years.
