Rob Zombie (about internet and downloads): "The internet is a great thing, but it can really fuck you." Rob Zombie : "There are always new things that get me excited. It’s never been about making money. Some of the projects that I’ve gotten most excited about don’t have that benefit." Rob Zombie (about White Zombie videos he directed) : "I always wanted to make movies as a kid. " Rob Zombie (on horror movies) : "Horror movies, there used to be two kinds. In the early days there were Dracula and Frankenstein, but in the ‘70s there were these nasty sorts of movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which were smaller films and the major studios, were making the same sorts of movies like the Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby. And then in the ‘80s they hit upon Freddy and Jason and got a different vibe. They sugar coated them up and they became more poppy and friendly." |
