Rob Zombie is bringing his full show to Vancouver in August as part of his Hell on Earth tour with California thrash band Slayer.
Why did you want to direct a Woolite commercial?
Well, I really never thought about it — they approached me … and I thought, ‘This could be fun’ … but I was busy and I said no. And then they moved it around. We actually shot it in Vancouver. For two long rainy days.
What is your favourite shirt?
Everyone has a favourite shirt, right? When it comes out of the laundry you always put it on first, and, unfortunately, because of that, it always tends to wear out first. I have this one shirt, it’s Paul McCartney in Wings, it’s just the wings logo…. For some reason, whenever it’s clean, I always put that one on.
What haven’t you done in your career yet that you want to do?
Tons and tons of things. But the thing I always tell people that sounds like I’m joking, but I’m not, is one day I would like to take my first film, House of 1000 Corpses, and turn it into a Broadway musical. Because I think it’s ridiculous enough that it would work.
What is the last job you would want?
Any job. (What I do) is obviously work, and I take it seriously and it takes a lot of time, but I love it and so it doesn’t seem like a job. Any job that I wouldn’t like is a job that I wouldn’t want. There’s nothing worse than watching your life tick away while doing something that you hate.
Do you have any pets?
I have a mongoose, a donkey and an alpaca.
