WHITE ZOMBIE: How did the band name come about?

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

WHITE ZOMBIE

In 1985, Rob Zombie (back then he called himself Rob Straker) was inspired by the horror film “The White Zombie” (1932) to name the band WHITE ZOMBIE. The film is considered to be the first zombie film ever. Horror films have always been Rob’s passion. He recalled his childhood to Sounds Like New: “There was a kind of horror boom in the late sixties: “The Munsters”, “The Addams Family”, “The Twilight Zone” …” These influences still shape Rob Zombie today.
