Director: Rob Zombie

Before he was a director, Rob Zombie was an accomplished musician. His music makes extensive use of samples from exploitation and classic horror films. For years his fans wondered what a Rob Zombie film might look like. With only music videos to provide a preview of what was to come, his film debut became a much anticipated event.

Zombie is likely the best known member of the splat pack. His films consistently push the audience on excepted levels of on-screen violence and brutality. Deaths are undeserved, villains unjustly triumph, and gory scenes linger far longer than comfortable.

As with his ongoing music career, Rob Zombie incorporates his wife (Sheri Moon Zombie) into each of his films. She frequently has a lead role and has developed a cult following of her own.
