The album went on to be certified multi-platinum by the RIAA, for sales exceeding two million copies in the US. Their fourth and final studio album, Astro Creep: 2000, became their first top-10 entry on the Billboard 200, and their second album to reach multi-platinum status. Zombie began his solo career with the release of his 1998 debut album Hellbilly Deluxe.

Worst Big Budget Directors of All Time (21 person items)"Worst: The Devil's Rejects
Just because you fill your movies with exaggerative violence doesn't mean you're "a master of horror". "Halloween" isn't necessarily the worst but it surely is the most pretentious remake I've seen. Zombie wanted to make characters "deeper", despite the fact that Carpenter's original film wasn't based on characters. Cinema in its entirety is an extremely versatile art form and often characters are just one small part in a movie - sometimes they don't matter at all. "

scariest musicians ever (10 person items)"
Who doesn't like a little undead action come October? Rob Zombie came to the forefront back in the '90s leading the fierce White Zombie, whose hits ("More Human Than Human") and his own ("Dragula") boasted industrial riffs from guitars drop-tuned down to the pits of hell. Since then he's added "horror movie auteur" to his resume, directing truly scary flicks like "House of 1000 Corpses" and "Halloween" remakes.
