Early life and stage name

Robert Bartleh Cummings was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, United States, on January 12, 1965. He is the oldest son of Robert and Louise Cummings. His younger brother, Michael David Cummings, known professionally as Spider One, is the lead singer of the band Powerman 5000. Growing up, Cummings had a fascination with horror films and has stated that he always "wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Bela Lugosi and Stan Lee." His parents worked in a carnival, but they chose to leave after a riot broke out and tents were set on fire. Cummings recalled the experience in an interview, stating, "Everybody's pulling out guns, and you could hear guns going off. I remember this one guy we knew, he was telling us where to go, and some guy just ran up to him and hit him in the face with a hammer – just busted his face wide open. My parents packed up real quick, and we took off." Cummings graduated from Haverhill High School in 1983. He moved to New York City and began attending Pratt Institute, where he met eventual bandmate Sean Yseult. Before the success of White Zombie, he was a production assistant for the television series Pee-wee's Playhouse.

Zombie took the stage name "Rob Zombie" from a 1932 horror film titled White Zombie, starring Bela Lugosi (the movie title was also the source for the band name, "White Zombie", Rob Zombie's initial musical endeavor). The name first shows up on White Zombie's 1989 EP God of Thunder. He had previously used the name "Rob Straker" on the White Zombie LPs Soul-Crusher and Make Them Die Slowly. In 1996, Zombie registered it as his legal name.

Personal life

Since he began working with White Zombie, Zombie has been known for his long hair and beard. On Halloween in 2002, he married Sheri Moon Zombie, the leading lady of his first two films.

Zombie is an ethical vegan and houses rescued farm animals at the Connecticut property he owns with his wife. Zombie originally became an ethical vegetarian in 1982 after viewing slaughterhouse footage. He is a supporter of PETA and was thanked by the organization for his realistic portrayal of the link between adolescent animal abuse and psychopathy in his remake of Halloween.

Zombie generally refrains from sharing his political and religious beliefs with the public, though he mentioned that at one point his mother contemplated becoming a nun. In that interview, Zombie said he avoids alcohol and substance abuse, stating, "I certainly didn't achieve anything by being wasted and fucked up." In a separate interview, Zombie said that he does not believe in an afterlife, calling the concept of heaven "insane". He also noted that he does not believe in concepts such as UFOs, Bigfoot or extraterrestrial life and believes that "this life is all you get". Zombie also spoke out against the initial cancellation of the horror film The Hunt following an outcry from President Donald Trump and his supporters. "As far as [canceling] The Hunt, that's just a bullshit sacrificial lamb that solves nothing in society, but they always do that. If it wasn't that movie it would have been a video game or sometimes it was somebody's rock album," Zombie said.

In September 1998, White Zombie formed in September 1998, with Zombie stating, "Sometimes a band just breaks up because the band has run its course and the best days are behind them." White Zombie went through a lot together and produced a slew of good stuff, but it was time to put an end to it. The good times had come and we were all heading in new directions. In 2008, the group's box-set was released with all of their unreleased content.

Zombie has shown no interest in reforming the band since the breakup of White Zombie, and has been quoted as saying, "I have many legitimate reasons [for not wanting to reform White Zombie]." Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they don't exist. "Nobody's company is important." Zombie said in a 2011 interview that he had not talked to any members of the band "except John Tempesta in about 15 years."

Before the band's official break up, work on Zombie's debut solo album began in 1997.

It was decided that the film was not suited for the franchise but that it would instead be released as a stand-alone project. He wrote the original score for Twisted Metal III, which was released in 1998. In 1999, Zombie created a haunted attraction for Universal Studios that was later considered instrumental in the revival of the Halloween Horror Nights annual attraction.

Despite the album's success, it was reported as a decrease in sales when compared to his first studio album. The Sinister Urge and its subsequent singles received a rapacious critical reception, with AllMusic's note that "it is the slow burn of [the album's] last track that shows the most promise; after years of making good heavy metal, he finally expands the boundaries of his own sound. Zombie was one of the few metal bands to keep their sound fresh for as long as Zombie, and this album is no exception." On Zombie's official website, the Sinister Urge was named as the fans' favorite album. The album is the final project to feature guitarist Mike Riggs and drummer John Tempesta, who had been with Zombie since the start of his solo career.

Zombie announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Sheri Moon in 2002, with a wedding date set for November 9, 2002. The couple married on October 31, 2002, at Graceland Wedding Chapel, just ten days before the wedding date. "We were actually walking a walk in our neighborhood the day before," Moon said. The wedding date was set to take place on November 9th. We're like, 'Oh, God, we've been together for nine years,' We should only say our vows openly.' It was just a spur of the moment decision. It just happened that the next day was Halloween. We didn't do it for any spooky reasons or anything. Moon has officially changed her name to Sheri Moon Zombie, now married.

Following the unveiling of his third studio album a year earlier, Zombie decided to concentrate on his art as a producer in 2007. In 2006, Zombie had agreed to write and direct a remake of the horror film Halloween (1978). Later, Zombie described the film as a "reimagining" of John Carpenter's original film. On August 31, 2007, Zombie's version of the film was officially released. The film's debut weekend, when it was $30.5 million, surpassed the previous record set by Transporter 2 for $20.1 million. It has been the top Labor Day weekend grosser for 14 years before Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings debuted in 2021. The film went on to become Zombie's highest grossing release to date. Despite these successes, critics largely dismissed the film at its launch. Halloween received an average 25 percent overall approval rating based on 109 reviews, with the consensus that "Rob Zombie doesn't bring many new ideas to the table in Halloween, making it another bloody disappointment for franchise fans." Zombie produced a fictitious trailer for a film Werewolf Women of the SS, which was included in the film Grindhouse (2007). Zombie Live, Zombie Live, was released in the same year.

Zombie revealed work on Tyrannosaurus Rex, a new film that was supposed to be released in 2009; the film was ultimately cancelled. Given Zombie's previous statements that he would not do a sequel to Halloween, it was later revealed that he would write and direct the series's next film, tentatively named H2. The postponement and eventual cancellation of Tyrannosaurus Rex's H2 was ultimately responsible for the postponement and eventual cancellation of the Rex's suspension. On August 28, 2009, Halloween II was announced. The film received a less critical reaction than Zombie's original remake, and it was unable to establish the remake's commercial success, but it was nevertheless a box office hit. Unlike the original Halloween II (1981), Zombie's film centered on the prior film's survival and the effects of the film's events on her mental health. Zombie said he would not produce another sequel after the film's conclusion. Zombie will direct a remake of the 1950s film The Blob, according to Variety Magazine, the weekend before the release of Halloween II. Zombie later decided to drop out of the film because he "didn't want to do another remake."

Geffen had "morphed into a new name," Zombie said later, and that being signed didn't "work for [him] any more." The album was announced as Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls, and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool, with Zombie describing it as a sequel to his 1998 debut as they sounded similar in both "vibe" and "attitude." On February 2, 2010, Hellbilly Deluxe 2 was released. In the first week of its debut, the album became his fourth top ten album in the United States. Upon its introduction, the album received a mixed to critical reaction. On September 28, 2010, Zombie unveiled a special edition of the album, which featured three new songs.
