He sucks so fuckin' bad I don't have the words to properly convey my true hatred for his silly "horror" films. If I had a gun and happened to run into him it would be very hard to not shoot him in the head.
His music after WZ sucks too ....IMO

Sorry mike, but your personal distaste for him is clouding your judgment. Is he a great director? No. Is he a competent one? Yes. The fact that he is capable of making an incredible movie like Devils Rejects, shows that he has real artistic talent. Of course he's had some serious fumbles, but that doesn't make him such a shit director. It makes him an egotistical asshole that thinks his visual/writing style is great in all scenarios.
Besides, there are FAR worse directors in the horror world out there.

The first part here is why I think he is a terrible director. He is the Michael Bay of horror at this point. Bay has explosions and slo-mo helicopter scenes in every movie. Zombie has white trash with harsh cutaways and ridiculous music video style filming techniques. For the horse's sake, I will leave it alone.
And yes, there are worse directors out there than Zombie in the horror world.

Not a huge fan, personally. I fucking hated his first movie, a huge disappointment considering how excited I was at the time. The Devil's Rejects is surprisingly great. Halloween is as bad as Ho1KC was, if not worse... I could probably write a five page essay on how terrible that movie is, and how it completely missed the point of the original. There's nothing more boring than seeing a poorly written, cliched origin story to a horror film legend. However, I'm still oddly interested in seeing the sequel?
With that said, I'll always look forward to his future projects because I feel he has some potential still. If we got something as fun (if that's the right word to use) as The Devil's Rejects again, I'd be happy. I hope he makes Tyrannosaurus Rex, because that idea sounds pretty badass.

See, you must not have read because I didn't say you had to like it because I did. I said even people(i.e those in this thread) who don't like him as a director, will concede that DR is a good movie. You just hate the man so much you won't let it be any other way.,

I don't love him... I despised H2... thought H1 was ok at best. I really don't listen to his music.

I like some of the visuals that he uses in his films. I guess it adds to the overall tone and feel to the movie which, in turn, does feel like and look like a horror flick. However, he really has missed on most of his movies. While I somewhat enjoyed TDR, I truly didn't like HO1C. The Halloween remake was ALRIGHT. It had it's moments but ultimately was just not all that memorable. Halloween 2 was fuckin stupid. The first 25 minutes a dream? WTF. That ending was just as damn brutal. Just shit altogether.
And yes, his wife is a shit actress. I hated her having a semi-large role in the Halloween flicks. I think he was at one point going to remake The Blob. Coulda been a chance at some redemption IMO. I guess The Lords of Salem will have to show he has more to offer. Then again, Sheri Zombie is in it...
Times are looking grim these days - holding onto everything - it's hard to draw the line. I, am hiding in this empty space, tortured by my memories of what i've left behind

I love Zombie has a director, but his film ideas are atrocious. I love House of 1k Corpses, but it's basically a giant homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That may be the reason why I like it so much, it has many similar elements. Devil's Rejects was fantastic and a good standalone film even though it's a sequel. Then he remakes Halloween's which I don't even want to start on, but I give him props for trying. Lords of Salem I am hoping is good, but who knows
