One thing I really DO like about Rob Zombie, however...


His casting choices. It's like the guy scours every horror movie convention to hand out his card. He's clearly not listening to any casting agent, rather his own impression of people.

Let's see, here's a short list of actors he's called on:

Meg Foster - Evil-Lynn from Masters of the Universe
Patricia Quinn - Magenta from Rocky Horror Picture Show
Ken Foree - Peter from Dawn of the Dead
Michael Berryman - Pluto from The Hills Have Eyes
Sid Haig - Quuhod from Galaxy of Terror
Karen Black - Linda from Invaders from Mars
Tracey Walter - 'Bob' from Batman
Jeff Daniel Phillips - one of the Geico cavemen
Elizabeth Daily - Dottie from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Tom Towles - Ottis Toole from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

So many lesser-known character actors get their chance to shine in his movies. I hope he never changes that approach.
