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.

The lyrics to Rob Zombie's song "Never Gonna Stop" depict a lust for life and an unyielding determination to live it to its fullest. The first line, "Use my body to keep you alive," suggests a willingness to sacrifice oneself for the preservation of others. The repeated phrase "Red, red kroovy" can be interpreted as a celebration of the color of life - the color of both blood and passion.
The singer then describes himself on a road trip, heading towards a destination that promises excitement and "ultra live" experiences. In what seems to be a nod to horror cinema, the singer describes a "horror show" flashing before his eyes. The second verse introduces the devil and what seems to be a monster. The devil is depicted riding a dinosaur, painting the monster red to prevent blood from staining the floor. This macabre imagery suggests an appetite for destruction and chaos.
The chorus repeats the phrase "never gonna stop me" four times, emphasizing the singer's resolute spirit. The final verse adds a call and response element to the song. The singer invites others to "scream if you want it" and expresses his own desire for more out of life. The song ends on an exhilarating, frenzied note, leaving the listener with a sense of intensity and a thirst for adventure.
