Mr. Zombie. Any idea why strippers seem to gravitate to your songs for their stage performances? Just wondering because 499 out of the last 500 times I have heard Living Dead Girl have been at a strip club.

I've always been currious, how did you come up with the idea for the character Captain Spaulding?

Do you view reddit as a promotional tool, or do you frequent the site?

What was your favorite scene to film out of all of your movies?

Nice Howard Stern interview the other day. The Munsters are awesome.
Do you guys hang out a lot? You guys seem like pretty cool dudes.

Did you have any contact with John Carpenter prior to the first of your "Halloween" films, or did you make it a point not to do that so it could be 100% "your" vision?
TheRealRobZombie338 karma
yeah I talked to John before I started but we didn't really discuss anything much about the film

Did you think the House of 1000 Corpses maze at Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights was well done? It was one of my favorites.

Battle to the death....one on one....bat or knife?? Standard baseball bat and standard kitchen knife.

I'm late to the party so this probably won't get answered but, how did your vision change from Halloween, to Halloween 2? Halloween seemed to just be a classic slasher, whereas Halloween 2 was more emotional/mental. Was that intentional or is that just how it happened?

What inspires you as far as lyrics are concerned? How do get into that zone?

What was the first horror movie you remember seeing and which inspired you the most. I also want to know your favorite author and a million other things but the first would be awesome!

Have you ever thought about doing a non horror movie, like a dark comedy or something?
SpecialSause110 karma
I have to say that my first experience of you was White Zombie and I still listen to those albums as of today. I know you perform some White Zombie songs live. My question is do you still stay in contact with those guys and would you ever get back together to a show/album?
johnnymanf106 karma
Did you get a chance to check out Sean Yseult's book about all White Zombie memorabilia she has saved from back in the day?
Fog_xyz92 karma
Damn, I can't believe I've been listening to your music for over 20 years already. But that does beg the question, how the hell did you hook up with Tom Papa? Seems a bit outside your "usual".
blackasssnake80 karma
what were the royalties you got from the movie 'airheads'. i wonder this every time i stumble upon this movie and then usually forget about it shortly after

John 5 made the music for The Lords of Salem, or atleast most of it. How was it working with him outside of the band? Was it different and if so, how come?
Arkaega57 karma
Would you consider letting Hard 'n Phirm do the music for another one of your movies?
marsneedsmolly56 karma
Hello Rob! Just wondering what it was like to shoot in Salem. It's such a sweet location with loads of history. Was it different from the other sets you've worked on? Thanks! You rock!
yesthisiskat38 karma
Were you worried that Manson was going to pull out of the Twins of Evil tour? Would you have continued it on your own if he did?
Xshred2730 karma
Rob, I know how much you love B horror movies. Do you think you would ever make an all black and white movie?
angelenabee30 karma
I don't really have a question, I just want to say that you and your wife are the most awesome people who exist on this earth and thank you for every amazing thing you create. You're a badass. -Angelena

Saw you at Rock on the Range in Columbus last year. Amazing show! Best of the weekend!
Zombietimm13 karma
Rob, We saw you at Mayhem Fest '10 in Detroit and your stage show was incredible!
How do you plan and design such an elaborate show? Is there a lot of practice for it work as perfectly as it does?
Thanks for all your hard work creating great music and movies!
Basay46911 karma
why is it my local theater can carry some unknown church movie, Homerun, with only 1000 guaranteed in sales, but will not carry The Lords of Salem which would be souled out the whole weekend?

What is it like working with your wife on set, especially when her parts are pretty...provocative? Has it ever made you uncomfortable? She is, by the way, super hot and you are super awesome!
