Last spring, Rob Zombie announced a new album and said his eighth studio record would hit the shelves in summer 2024. While he kept working on the upcoming album, the singer also went on a tour with Alice Cooper, visiting 19 venues across the United States and Canada until September 2023.

With these works and more that came before them, Zombie made a name for himself in the music industry and earned a fortune. But his 38-year career didn’t go without points worth mentioning. So, we gathered seven facts from the artist’s personal and professional life for you.

7. Carnivals To Showbiz

Zombie’s early exposure to the world of carnivals and circuses, where he worked alongside his family, heavily influenced his later work. His mother’s side of the family was deeply involved in this industry, shaping his interest in horror and the macabre.

The singer’s brother, Michael David Cummings, also known as Spider One from Powerman 5000, shared these experiences until the family’s carnival days ended in 1977 due to a riot at one of the events.

6. Early Career Moves

 

Before his rise to fame, Zombie attended the Parsons School of Design. At some point, his time there led him to work as an art director for adult magazines like Over 40 and Tail Ends.

Also, one of the singer’s first jobs was as a gofer on ‘Pee-Wee’s Playhouse,’ where he performed different tasks on set. According to one of his Westword magazine interviews, this experience offered him an insight into the entertainment industry and allowed him to work with names like Phil Hartman and William Marshall.

5. The Rise Of White Zombie

White Zombie initially struggled to gain attention with their early releases. Their fortunes changed with the 1992 album ‘La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One,’ featuring the hit ‘Thunder Kiss’ 65.’ As Zombie revealed in a past chat, this album’s success was partly due to exposure from the MTV show ‘Beavis And Butt-Head.’

The band released several albums before eventually disbanding in 1996, with the vocalist continuing his music career solo.

4. Works In Different Fields

After confirming that White Zombie was over, the artist legally changed his name to Rob Zombie in 1996 and has released several solo albums. Meanwhile, his career branched out with directorial works in horror and projects from different genres.

The singer directed an episode of ‘CSI: Miami’ and did voice acting in various films, including ‘Slither’ and ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy,’ throughout the years. He has also taken part in comic book writing and hosted a horror movie showcase on TCM Underground.

3. Zombie’s Horror Influences

Zombie’s lifelong fascination with horror films and performance art significantly influenced his career. He made his directorial debut with the 2003 comedy-horror film ‘House Of 1000 Corpses’ and continued to direct horror-themed projects, including ‘The Devil’s Rejects,’ ‘Halloween,’ ‘The Lords Of Salem,’ and ’31.’

The singer also launched a music festival in 2019, combining live music with haunted house attractions, and created a horror film collection that includes various memorabilia from classic films from the genre.

2. Relationship With Sheri Moon

Rob Zombie met Sheri Moon in 1991 through a mutual friend, and they married in 2002 after a decade of dating. During their relationship, Sheri Moon has often collaborated with the singer in his films and music videos.

The couple, who eloped ten days before their wedding, share interests such as veganism and animal rights activism, as seen in their support for PETA.

1. The Singer And His Wife’s Net Worth

Zombie has built a big net worth, estimated at $50 million, throughout his career. This includes earnings from his directorial works, music releases, and real estate investments, like the Los Angeles home he bought for $1.8 million and sold in 2014 for $3.555 million.

Meanwhile, the singer’s wife holds a $5 million net worth thanks to her appearances in projects like ‘CSI: Miami,’ ‘House of 1000 Corpses,’ ‘Toolbox Murders,’ ‘The Devil’s Rejects,’ ‘Grindhouse,’ ‘The Lords of Salem,’ and ’31.’
