Rob Zombie – ‘hellbilly’ rock star,
film and video director, inductee of the ‘Splat Pack’,
vegetarian, comic book illustrator and author, graphic artist,
shameless self-promoter, and ruler of a worldwide merchandise
empire. Whether invested with a Godzilla sized ego
or just the drive to try his hand at anything that has ever
inspired him, Rob is a modern phenomena in the vein of a few
other brash individuals who refuse to be boxed – Gene
Simmons, Richard Branson, Paris Hilton…Thankfully, Hilton’s
love of horror died with her in 2007’s box-office meltdown,
The House of Wax. In contrast, Rob has paid homage
to the visuals and visceral of 1930s/40s horror movies in
every aspect of his colourful career.
