I’ve always marveled at the irony of how polarizing Rob Zombie is with horror fans. I’ve never found anyone neutral in their opinion about him. He’s certainly unique, and he took a very individualistic road to fame. If there ever was a guy that embodied making all of his adolescent …

People are generally surprised when I admit to never having attended a horror convention, and they’re not alone. I’m surprised at this unfortunate fact.
