Rob Zombie's second feature film, "The Devil's Rejects" has received nominations in five categories ("The Ultimate Scream", "Best Horror Movie", "Most Vile Villain", "Best Director" and "Best Screamplay") at the upcoming Spike TV's Scream Awards 2006, the first annual televised event which celebrates horror, sci-fi, fantasy and comic books.

Spike TV's Scream Awards 2006 will tape at the historic Pantages Theater in Hollywood, CA on Saturday, October 7 and feature a wide-range of award categories. Show host, celebrities and musical acts to be announced shortly. The program will air on Tuesday, October 10 between 10:00 p.m. and midnight EST.

"We only need to look at the legacy and recent explosion of the horror, sci-fi, fantasy and comic book genres to know that the time has come to honor the extraordinary creative talent from these worlds in an explosive way," says Casey Patterson, Executive Producer and Senior Vice President Event Production for Spike TV.

Zombie has made a name for himself challenging audiences by stretching the boundaries of film, music and publishing. He recently took film to a new level with his critically acclaimed "House of 1000 Corpses" and its high-octane follow-up "The Devil's Rejects", and he is now working on his next film project, the animated horror film "The Haunted World of Superbeasto" starring Academy Award nominee Paul Giamatti, slated for release later this year. Zombie also recently announced that he will direct a new version of the classic 1978 horror film, "Halloween", with an October 2007 release planned.

As the longest active artist on Geffen Records and the most prolific Geffen artist when it comes to gold and platinum discs, Zombie has sold in excess of fifteen million records worldwide. This past March, his new album "Educated Horses" entered The Billboard 200 chart at No. 5. Zombie is also a seasoned video director, with more than 25 videos to his credit. In 1995, he won an MTV Music Video Award for "More Human Than Human", becoming the first self-directed artist to win such an award.

Devil's Rejects was good, but I've seen better "horror" movies, like Hostel, I love Rob Zombie, He's one of my favorite artists, but White Zombie put him where he is, I think White Zombie is better than Rob is on his own, the same is with Ozzy and Black Sabbath, but back to the subject, House of 1000 Corpses sucked. the only good thing about it was the soundtrack. Wow, I've really gotten off topic.
