The Meteoric Rise to Stardom
Sheri Moon Zombie was never actually interested in becoming an actress. Instead, she wanted to do voiceover for cartoons and even took classes to hone her skills as a voice artist. However, during this time her then boyfriend Rob Zombie's band White Zombie broke apart and he started doing solo work, often involving her as a choreographer and dancer on his tours. For this reason, she was unable to fully focus on her voice acting course.
She was already involved with the band before it disbanded, and appeared on many album covers and music videos. Her first appearance was in the music video for 'White Zombie's 'Feed the Gods', which was also Rob's very first directional venture. In 2002, he decided to direct the horror movie 'House of 1000 Corpses'. The movie, released the following year, featured her as Vera-Ellen "Baby" Firefly, which earned her a huge fan following in the community. She has since then appeared on all of her husband's movies and videos, most of them horror themed, and earned the title of modern-era 'scream queen' from USA Today in 2007.

Beyond Fame
While Sheri Moon Zombie is known for working on her husband's projects specifically, it is however not because of lack of opportunities. Despite being praised for her roles, she consciously decided to act on Rob's productions, sometimes making guest appearances for friends as a favour. Also, she is very much involved in the creative process of most of her husband's works. According to her, the two have got used to working as a unit and are comfortable around each other personally and professionally. Instead of solidifying her position as an actress, she is rather interested in fashion design and has launched her own clothing line called 'Total Skull'. She is also a blogger and in October 2014 started the food blog 'Eat Me' to share her experience of finding vegan meals on her travels through the US, as well as her preparations for vegan meals at home.

However, they started dating soon after, and she moved in with him a month later. The two have been working together ever since. After nine years of dating, they had decided to marry on November 9, 2002. Nevertheless, despite having "stupid stuff" like the wedding planner ready, they decided to elope on October 31, 2002, Halloween day. While it may fit quite well with their spooky taste, they both insist that it was not pre-planned, and was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. In 1996, Rob had officially changed his surname to 'Zombie', following which she changed her name to Sheri Moon. After their marriage, she again legally changed her name to 'Sheri Moon Zombie'.
