He is the oldest child of Louise and Robert Cummings and has a younger brother, Michael (now known as Spider One), who later became the lead singer of Powerman 5000. Growing up, Rob was drawn to horror films and dreamed of being figures like Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Bela Lugosi, and Stan Lee. His parents worked at a carnival, but when he was 12, a violent riot broke out at the carnival, and the family left for safety. After finishing high school in 1983, Rob moved to New York City to study at Parsons School of Design. While there, he met future bandmate and girlfriend Sean Yseult and worked as a production assistant on the TV show Pee-wee’s Playhouse, just before he officially started using the stage name “Rob Zombie.”
