Rob Zombie Updates Movie Making Status, Talks New Tour
Right now, Rob Zombie is gearing up for the Gruesome Twosome tour with the godfather of horror rock Alice Cooper. Zombie is armed, to the teeth, with metal’s most important drummer, Joey Jordison [Slipknot, Murderdolls], and they’ll be tearing through a set of White Zombie and solo classics as well as cuts from Hellbilly Deluxe 2. With this summer’s Mayhem Festival with Korn on the horizon, Mr. Zombie hasn’t had too much time to choose a new film project, unfortunately.
“I don’t know what the next movie is…I’ve got four or five projects I’m so scattered between.”
In an exclusive interview today with Bloody-Disgusting.com’s Rick Florino (www.bookofdolor.com), Zombie said, “I haven’t started pre-production on anything. I can’t really do pre-production on a movie until I’m 100 percent free to do that. The tour is about the tour. About the only thing that I can do on a tour that’s movie related is work on a script when there’s down time, but that’s it. So that’s probably what I’ll be doing. I don’t know what the next movie is [Laughs]–which is kind of driving me crazy. I’m not really sure what to focus my attention on at the moment, I’ve got four or five different projects that I’m so scattered between.”
However, he can’t wait to get on the road and start blasting out the new songs for hungry audiences everywhere, especially with Joey’s air-raid percussive firestorm at his disposal…
“We’re very excited to play this record live,” Zombie went on to say. “We love touring, and that’s the main thing. The band gets along spectacularly and we’re just dying to play these songs. We’ve been rehearsing to death too. It’s kind of nuts because we are more prepared than ever.”
Hopefully, the run with Korn slays just as much as it dead back in 1999 when they ripped America up on Rock is Dead. But, then again, will anything compare to White Zombie and Pantera’s War of the Gargantuas in 1996? Ahhh, those were the days…

Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
