==Biography==
===Personal life===


In the CDP the population was spread out with 30.3% under the age of 18, 6.5% from 18 to 24, 29.1% from 25 to 44, 26.5% from 45 to 64, and 7.7% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 100.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.2 males.
Zombie was born Robert Cummings Jr. to a saleswoman mother and a furniture-crafter father. He has a younger brother, Michael, who is now known as [[Spider One]] of the alternative-metal band [[Powerman 5000]]. After years working in carnivals, his parents settled down to raise their sons in [[Haverhill, Massachusetts]], a suburban town Zombie considered sinister yet lacking in excitement. He was driven by boredom to watch more than eight hours a day of television and was soon fascinated by horror movies.


The median income for a household in the CDP was $69,145, and the median income for a family was $70,000. Males had a median income of $51,771 versus $41,875 for females. The [[per capita income]] for the CDP was $25,220. About 5.7% of families and 6.2% of the population were below the [[poverty line]], including 7.2% of those under age 18 and 10.2% of those age 65 or over.
Zombie has been a longtime fan of [[The Ramones]], [[The Misfits]], shock-rocker [[Alice Cooper]], British heavy-metal pioneers [[Black Sabbath]] and [[Judas Priest]], [[Metallica]] and many more. The styles of these musicians continue to be a strong influence on him to this day. Zombie attended, but did not graduate from, [[Parsons The New School for Design]] in New York and [[Pratt Institute]] in Brooklyn. Zombie got his start in entertainment by working as a bike messenger for [[Pee Wee's Playhouse]]. It was during this time that he met future White Zombie band-mate [[Shauna Reynolds|Sean Yseult]].


The Aromas-San Juan School District has three schools – Aromas Elementary School, San Juan School and Anzar High School. Aromas has one K-8 school, Aromas Elementary School with less than 400 students, (in [[2000]]). Stephanie Siddens is the current principal of Aromas School. Anzar High School, which opened in 1994, was named after early area pioneers.
On [[October 31]], [[2002]] he married long-time girlfriend [[Sheri Moon]] after almost 13 years of dating. The two had met at Toad's Place, a concert venue, in New Haven, Connecticut through mutual friends.<ref name="SMZBoards">{{cite web| title= Interview with Sheri Moon Zombie| publisher= sherimoonboards.com| url= http://www.sherimoonboards.com/SMZInterview.htm | accessdate= 2007-08-26}}</ref> Ten days before their planned wedding date, the couple [[elope|eloped]] on [[Halloween]].

Zombie has various tattoos forming sleeves on both arms, most of them featuring horror/science fiction imagery. These include the Creature From the Black Lagoon, sinister clowns, demons, and skulls. He designed almost all of the tattoos himself.

===White Zombie (1985–1998)===
{{main|White Zombie (band)}}
[[White Zombie (band)|White Zombie]] was an [[United States|American]] [[rock band|band]] named after the 1932 film ''[[White Zombie (film)|White Zombie]]'', which starred [[Bela Lugosi]]. Based in [[New York]], White Zombie was originally a [[noise rock]] band in the vein of fellow New York band [[Sonic Youth]] and Texas Experimental Punk band [[Butthole Surfers]]. White Zombie was known for combining heavy-metal music with driving guitar riffs (as on "[[Super-Charger Heaven]]"), overlayed with lyrics heavily influenced by horror films and pseudo-Satanic imagery. Unlike other metal bands of the 1990s, White Zombie was almost exclusively a "fantasy" band, writing songs not about real life, but about surreal horror fantasies.

Following their signing to Geffen Records, White Zombie achieved commercial success, with two 2x platinum albums and a large number of their songs featured in movies and TV shows (notably Beavis and Butthead). The group officially disbanded in 1998 shortly after the release of singer Zombie solo album ''[[Hellbilly Deluxe]]''.

===Solo career (1998–present)===
In 1996, Zombie collaborated with [[Alice Cooper]] on the song "[[Hands of Death (Burn Baby Burn)]]" for the [[X-Files]] tie-in CD ''[[Songs in the Key of X]]''. It was Zombie's first work outside of his band White Zombie. The song was nominated for a [[Grammy]] for [[Best Metal Performance]] the same year, but lost to [[Nine Inch Nails]] for their song "[[Happiness in Slavery]]".

Zombie formed his own solo band in 1998. [[John Tempesta]] (drums) came directly from [[White Zombie]], and was joined by [[Mike Riggs]] on guitar and [[Rob Nicholson (musician)|Blasko]] (Rob Nicholson) on bass. They recorded and released Zombie's debut solo album, ''[[Hellbilly Deluxe]]'', in 1998, produced by [[Scott Humphrey]]. The album was a success, selling three million copies domestically. This album contained the hit singles "[[Dragula (song)|Dragula]]", "[[Living Dead Girl]]" and "[[Superbeast]]". The ''Dragula'' title was inspired by the '60s TV series [[The Munsters]]; the [[DRAG-U-LA]] was a dragster built from a coffin driven by Grandpa. Episode footage of the drag race was included in ''[[House of 1,000 Corpses]]''. White Zombie dissolved after the release of ''Hellbilly Deluxe''. Zombie toured extensively to promote the debut album, releasing ''[[American Made Music to Strip By]]'' in 1999, an album of remixes from ''Hellbilly Deluxe''.

Zombie next released ''[[The Sinister Urge (album)|The Sinister Urge]]'' in 2001 (the title taken from a 1961 film by [[Edward D. Wood]]), again produced by Scott Humphrey. This release contained the singles "[[Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy)]]", "[[Feel So Numb]]" and "[[Demon Speeding]]". While the album still featured Zombie's signature [[heavy metal]] sound, it was also more experimental than ''Hellbilly Deluxe'', such as including [[brass instruments]] on "Go To California." The album has been certified platinum.

Zombie released his first greatest-hits album ''[[Past, Present & Future]]'', in 2003, containing hit songs both from his solo band and White Zombie. It also featured covers ([[The Commodores]]' "Brick House" and [[The Ramones]]' "Blitzkrieg Bop") and unreleased songs ("[[Two-Lane Blacktop (song)|Two-Lane Blacktop]]" and "[[Girl on Fire]]").

After a 2002-2003 world tour, [[Mike Riggs]] and John Tempesta left White Zombie to form a similar band, [[Scum of the Earth (band)|Scum of the Earth]]. This put plans for another tour or new album on hold. Instead, between 2003 and 2005, Zombie released two self-directed horror films, ''[[House of 1000 Corpses]]'' and ''[[The Devil's Rejects]]''.

In 2005, Zombie returned to the music world by recruiting former [[Marilyn Manson]] guitarist, [[John Lowery|John 5]], and former [[Alice Cooper]] drummer, [[Tommy Clufetos]]. Blasko and Humphrey remained, and the five began recording ''[[Educated Horses]]'', which was released in 2006. Stylistically, ''Educated Horses'' is Zombie's most experimental release. In contrast to the heavy metal sound of his first 2 albums, this one has a more [[alternative metal]] sound to it. The single "[[Foxy Foxy]]" can be described as his most "party-going" song. The other 2 singles, "[[Let It All Bleed Out]]" and "[[American Witch]]", featured his signature heavy sound. It was also his 1st album to not contain heavy amounts of horror&mdash;either in the artwork, songs, or even his physical appearance (Zombie is dressed in regular clothes on the album cover, and his dreadlocks are gone). However, the songs "Seventeen Year Locust" and "The Scorpion Sleeps" featured song topics of creepy-crawlies. Following the release of the album he toured the U.S. with [[Lacuna Coil]].

''[[20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection: The Best of Rob Zombie]]'' was also released in 2006 by his label, [[Geffen Records]]. It contains songs similar to his 1st greatest-hits album, but there are also songs on this release from ''Educated Horses''. In 2007 Zombie released his first Live CD, this was supposed to be accompanied by a live DVD & picture booklet, but so far only the CD has surfaced.
Blasko, Zombie's bass player, left the band after the Educated Horses Tour, shortly before the American Witch Tour (The 2nd leg of the tour), to play bass with [[Ozzy Osbourne]]. To fill in, Zombie hired [[Piggy D.]] of [[Amen (band)|Amen]] and [[Wednesday 13]] fame as a permanent replacement.

On [[May 31]], [[2006]], Zombie was joined by guitarist [[Slash (musician)|Slash]] ([[Guns N' Roses]], [[Velvet Revolver]]), [[Gilby Clarke]] (formerly of [[Guns N' Roses]]) on rhythm guitar, [[Scott Ian]] of [[Anthrax (band)|Anthrax]] on bass, [[Tommy Lee]] of [[Mötley Crüe]] on drums and special guest [[Ace Frehley]] of [[Kiss (band)|Kiss]] also on lead guitar. The occasion was a one-time supergroup tribute to Kiss for the first annual VH1 Rock Honors Award Show. They played one song, "God of Thunder," before handing it off to the honoree. Zombie then went on tour with Ozzy Osbourne.

Zombie has also started work on a currently untitled follow-up to 2006's Educated Horses. In may of 2008 he posted an update on his website stating:

"Well, we have for the first time ever written more songs than we need for an album. Everything isn't 100% finished, but everything is moving along great. No release date yet." In August of 2008, a new (instrumental) song entitled "Tyrannosaurus Rex" , featuring John 5 on guitar, was uploaded onto Zombie's MySpace music page.

Zombie has his own official [[Youtube]] channel, which he created on 12 December 2005. He has two "blog" videos explaining his tours and another one wishing his fans a happy [[Halloween]]. On the latter video, Zombie recommends Halloween horror videos to his fans.

===Film career===
[[Image:Rob Zombie Comiccon.JPG|thumb|Rob Zombie attending the 2007 [[Comic Con]] to promote ''[[Halloween (2007 film)|Halloween]].]]
''[[House of 1000 Corpses]]'' was Rob Zombie's directorial debut and his first horror film. Zombie wrote the screenplay as well as directing the film. It took four years to make (1999–2003), and was finally released by [[Lion's Gate Films]] in 2003, after [[Stacy Snider]], then-head of [[Universal Pictures]], sold the film to them. It featured a great deal of violence and gore. The movie told the tale of a group of unlucky teenagers who stumble upon the Firefly Family, a family of sadistic and vicious murderers. The film was shot in a surreal and over-the-top style that alternated between dark and campy humor. The film was mostly panned by critics but had it's share of fans.

The ''House of 1000 Corpses''' sequel, ''[[The Devil's Rejects]]'', which Zombie also wrote and directed, showcased a much different style. Whereas ''House'' was at times comedic and bizarre, ''Rejects'' was darker, more serious and grittier. Released in 2005, ''Rejects'' had the Firefly Family on the run from the law and a particularly vengeful sheriff whose brother had been murdered by them in the first film. It had a higher critical reception than ''Corpses''.

Zombie contributed to the 2007 [[exploitation film]] ''[[Grindhouse (film)|Grindhouse]]'', by [[Robert Rodriguez]] and [[Quentin Tarantino]] by directing a faux trailer, called ''[[Grindhouse (film)#Werewolf Women of the SS|Werewolf Women of the S.S.]]'', starring his wife, exploitation veterans [[Udo Kier]] and [[Sybil Danning]], and [[Nicolas Cage]], who appeared free as a favor.

Zombie next wrote and directed ''[[Halloween (2007 film)|Halloween]]'', a [[reimagining]] of the [[Halloween (1978 film)|1978 classic]] that was released [[August 31]], [[2007]]. Although it was a success and opened at number #1 at the box office with $26 million, it registered only 27% at [[Rotten Tomatoes]]<ref>http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1179254-halloween/ Halloween review on Rotten Tomatoes</ref>. It would go on to gross over $78 million, his biggest hit yet and the highest grossing "Halloween" film of all time (when not adjusted for inflation).

Zombie is also the executive producer of the forthcoming animated film ''[[The Haunted World of El Superbeasto]]'', based upon his comic book series, ''The Adventures of El Superbeasto'' (which appeared in his ''Spookshow International'' comic book). The film is due for a 2008 release.

Zombie will next be directing a new movie for Dimension Films known as ''Rob Zombie's Tyrannosaurus Rex''.

===TV host===
On Friday, [[October 13]], [[2006]], Zombie became the host of ''[[TCM Underground]]'' on the [[Turner Classic Movies]] channel. It premiered with the screening of a double feature of [[Ed Wood]]'s ''[[Plan 9 From Outer Space]]'' and ''[[Bride of the Monster]]''. Until January 2007, Zombie hosted a different double bill every Friday night at two in the morning.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tcm.com/movienews/index/?cid=148290|title=TCM 2006-2007 Programming Slate|date=2006-12-01|work=TCM Movie News|accessdate=2006-12-09}}</ref>

Aromas is a census-designated place (CDP) in Monterey County, and San Benito County, California, United States.
