Sheri Moon Zombie
- Actress
- Producer
- Additional Crew
Sheri Moon Zombie was born Sheri Lyn Skurkis. She is the daughter of
Carol A. and William B. Skurkis, and has Lithuanian and Polish ancestry. She was
raised in Torrington, Connecticut, from a young age. In her late teens,
Sheri moved to California, but continued to spend a great deal of time
in the New England state, due to education and work commitments.
Throughout her twenties, Sheri was a model and a dancer, appearing in
many music videos. These were mostly for her then-musician boyfriend,
Rob Zombie, whom she later married in 2002 on
Halloween. Sheri didn't start acting until 2002, when she landed the
role of "Baby" in the horror,
House of 1000 Corpses (2003),
which was directed by her now-husband, Rob Zombie. This was her first
role in a number of commercially successful horror flicks that he
directed, including
The Devil's Rejects (2005),
Halloween (2007) and
Halloween II (2009), as well as a
brief film segment for
Grindhouse (2007) called "Werewolf
Women of the SS". She also had an additional role in
Tobe Hooper's
Toolbox Murders (2004). Her next
film role is
The Lords of Salem (2012),
which is to be directed by Rob Zombie. Further to her movie roles, she
has starred in one episode, each, of
Californication (2007) and
CSI: Miami (2002), the latter
being directed by her husband. She has also lent her voice to a
character in the animated film,
The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009),
again directed by her husband. Her early roles led to USA Today
describing her, in 2007, as one of the modern era's "Scream Queens",
with this colourful image still persisting in 2011. Unlike many "Scream
Queens", Sheri has acquired a large male fanbase, due to certain roles
allowing her to exhibit her natural beauty and shapely figure. Finally,
in addition to her acting success, she has ventured into the world of
clothing design, with her obvious talent finally bursting through. The
range is known as "Total Skull" and includes a variety of short sleeve
and long sleeve T-shirts for both men and women, as well as hats,
hoodies, masks, bandanas and scarfs.
