Rob Zombie, is an American heavy metal, groove metal and industrial rock musician, director, and writer. His dreadlocks, gruff vocal style and fascination with horror movies have helped him become a distinctive element in American heavy metal.

He is best known as founder, lead singer and songwriter for White Zombie. In recent years he has also established himself as a solo singer and branched into directing films. His directorial career began with the horror exploitation feature, House of 1000 Corpses, and its sequel, The Devil's Rejects, released July 22, 2005.

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, an animated film based on his comic book series of the same name, is due for release in 2007. Also slated for a 2007 release is a reworking of the 1978 horror classic Halloween. His longtime girlfriend (now wife), Sheri Moon Zombie, has appeared in many of Rob's music videos and in all of his films.
