In 2003 he made his directorial debut with the release of the film 'House of 1000 Corpses' to a lukewarm reception, though it garnered quite a cult-following. Its sequel, 'The Devil's Rejects,' was released in 2005. It was received much better than the first film, even getting the 'thumbs up' from well-known film critic Roger Ebert. Also in his films is his wife Sheri Moon Zombie.
In March 2006, he released his newest album, entitled "Educated Horses". The album was a more stripped down, raw rock record, and quite a departure from the techno-industrial feel of the old Zombie albums. While this change, along with Zombie's change of appearance (he lost the dreadlocks and went back to his natural hair color, blonde), upset many of his fans, it allowed Rob to experiment with his style without deviating from his core fan base.
The new album also featured two new band members. John 5, of Marilyn Manson fame, and Tommy Clufetos, the former drummer for Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper, replaced Mike Riggs and John Tempesta, who had left the band in 2003 to work on other projects.
Hellbilly Deluxe 2, released in February 2010, is the first release where Rob Zombie worked with his full touring band. Previous albums were written and recorded by Rob Zombie himself and a rotating set of musicians. Commenting on the change, Zombie stated, "I've always had a revolving roster of studio and touring musicians, but the three guys in my band now have been on tour with me for years. So we're making it as a band. It's called Rob Zombie, but we're treating it like a band.
His half-brother, Michael Cummings is the lead singer of Powerman 5000.

"Meet the Creeper" is a song by American musician Rob Zombie, released in 1998. The song is known for its heavy, driving rhythm and macabre lyrics that explore the themes of death, violence, and the supernatural.
The opening lines of the song, "Creature Core you can't ignore, I got a 5000 fingers of dead yeah," suggest that the singer is a supernatural entity who cannot be ignored. The metaphor of "5000 fingers of dead" could represent the idea that the singer has control over the dead or that they are surrounded by death. The following line, "A rats are we you can't break free, you're with the living on your bed yeah," implies that the listener is trapped or imprisoned with the living, and unable to break free from their mundane existence.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more aggressive, suggesting that they are a threat to those who cross their path. They describe themselves as transforming in the skies and stabbing out the city's crowd like a dagger. The chorus, "Meet the Creeper, take it deeper, yeah! yeah! Ah, I see the dead in your eyes," implies that the singer is encouraging the listener to embrace their darker instincts and join them in their world of death and mayhem.
Overall, "Meet the Creeper" is a dark and menacing song that explores the darker aspects of the human psyche and the mysterious world of the supernatural.
