Rob Zombie Putting His Paintings On Display for the First Time at October Art Show in Kent, CT
In addition to releasing brand new single “Punks and Demons” off his upcoming album The Great Satan, Rob Zombie has also announced his first ever public art show this week.
Taking place in Kent, Connecticut at the Morrison Gallery on 60 North Main Street, the show will mark the very first time that Rob Zombie has ever shown off his own paintings.
Zombie writes on Instagram, “Opening October 25th – November 16th at Morrison Gallery in Kent, CT is my first ever showing of my paintings. The opening reception October 25th from 5-7pm. Come on down. There are no tickets. This is free and open to the public.”
The title of the show is “What Lurks on Channel X?“, and like all of Rob Zombie’s art, it’ll give us a window into Zombie’s unique perspective on the world. Expect paintings based on everything from horror movies to popular culture to true crime, all of the things that have been coursing through Zombie’s movies and music for the past several decades.
“Everything I do is kind of ridiculous, I think,” Zombie previews. “This is my world. Just a kid raised on television. I watched TV eight to nine hours a day, every single day. Everything I knew was from television. Everything in my brain… TV, radio, this is all I know.”
Spend Halloween inside Rob Zombie’s head at the Morrison Gallery beginning 10/25.

“My name is John Carpenter. I direct horror movies.” One year after receiving his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, John Carpenter was on hand at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for actor Keith David yesterday, who of course worked with Carpenter on the legendary 1980s horror movies The Thing and They Live.
Keith David was honored with the 2,847th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on June 4 at 11:30 am PT. David received his star in the category of Motion Pictures. Joining emcee Ryan Bathe were Mayor Karen Bass, Lynn Whitfield, John Carpenter and John C. McGinley.
John Carpenter raved that Keith David is “an astonishing actor,” and both Carpenter’s speech and Keith David’s speech have made their way onto YouTube thanks to MaximoTV.
“I am trying to come up with a way to sum up Keith,” Carpenter told the crowd. “And I would say grace. That sums up the character of Keith David. My friend, I love you very much.”
“You deserve this,” Carpenter ended his quick speech.
“This for me has been an incredible year,” Keith David said during his own speech. “Today I turn 7-0. All my life I wanted to be an actor. I had a dream. And I got to pursue that dream. What you’re bearing witness to today is a man living his dream. Today is a great day. Filled with gratitude and blessings overflowing. But even on my not-so-great days, I’m still living my dream.”
You can watch the speeches from John Carpenter and Keith David below, along with the full live-streamed presentation of the ceremony honoring David with his Walk of Fame star.
From the official Hollywood Walk of Fame blog…
Keith David, born and raised in New York City, is a classically trained graduate of New York’s High School of Performing Arts and the Juilliard School. His work has earned him Screen Actors Guild and Tony Award nominations, as well as an NAACP Image Award and three Emmy Awards.
A frequent collaborator with documentarian Ken Burns, David has won three Emmys for his voiceover performances in Jackie Robinson, The War, and Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson. Keith also lent his narrational expertise to the documentaries Muhammad Ali and Leonardo da Vinci by Ken Burns, as well as the forthcoming Crime & Punishment in America.
Keith has enthralled viewers with his vocal talents in animated works such as The Princess and the Frog, Gargoyles, Hazbin Hotel, Rick and Morty, and the highly anticipated spinoff President Curtis. Keith appeared in the Oscar-winning film American Fiction, Nope, and classics such as Platoon, They Live, and The Thing. He is also known for his prolific work in films such as There’s Something About Mary, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, and the upcoming My New Friend Jim.
On the small screen, Keith co-stars in the FX series The Lowdown with Ethan Hawke, and completed five seasons starring as Bishop James Greenleaf in Greenleaf. He has also been featured in series such as Abbott Elementary and Community.
True to his reputation as an icon of stage and screen, Keith starred as Floyd Barton in Seven Guitars, was nominated for a Tony for his role as Chimney Man in Jelly’s Last Jam, and has toured with Too Marvelous for Words, playing the legendary Nat King Cole. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, Keith released a jazz album in February of 2026.
Keith’s philanthropic work includes supporting such charities as Inner City Youth Orchestra of L.A.. the Black Theatre Network, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Harvest Home L.A. and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
“Keith David has brought unforgettable characters to life throughout his extraordinary career, and it feels especially fitting that his Hollywood Walk of Fame star sits beside Nat King Cole’s — an artist he once portrayed with such grace and reverence. It’s a beautiful full-circle moment honoring two legendary talents,” said Ana Martinez, Producer, Hollywood Walk of Fame.
