[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
Zombie was born in San Jose, California. As a teenager, she moved with her family to the east coast where she attended high school. During her senior year she showed a passion for the entertainment industry by dancing, modeling, and doing choreography.
[edit] Career
Zombie has appeared in fifteen of Rob Zombie's music videos. She most famously starred in the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari-themed music video Living Dead Girl, and in 1999, Sheri graced the cover of Zombie's remix album American Made Music to Strip By.
In 2002, Zombie has co-starred in her husband's first feature film, House of 1000 Corpses. She quickly became an icon among horror fans as Vera-Ellen "Baby" Firefly. As Sheri explains her character in that film, "Baby is the bait for her psychotic family to lure victims. She ultimately has higher aspirations of Hollywood stardom but is stuck with her redneck, mass-murdering family." In 2004, she had a brief appearance in the film Toolbox Murders, the only film she has been in not directed by Rob. She reprised her role as "Baby" in the 2005 sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, titled The Devil's Rejects. Prior to her role in House of 1000 Corpses, she had expressed an interest in doing cartoon voice overs, but took the role in House of 1000 Corpses instead. She provides the voice for the character of Susie X in the upcoming animated film The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, written and produced by her husband Rob Zombie.
Sheri is currently completing work on her new clothing line, Total Skull, which debuted at the end of May 2006.
It is now confirmed that she will appear in her husband's version of the 1978 classic Halloween. On January 5, 2007, Rob Zombie announced on his official Myspace that Sheri Moon will be playing Deborah Myers, the mother of Michael Myers.
The band The Bronx Casket Co. have a song on their 2005 album Hellectric about her called "sherimoon".
[edit] Personal life
On October 31, 2002 she married long time boyfriend Robert Cummings (also known as Rob Zombie) after almost 13 years of dating. Having the wedding on Halloween was a mere coincidence, for ten days before they were supposed to wed, the couple decided to elope instead.
