The new line-up is a metal fan’s wet dream, featuring John 5 (Marilyn Manson) on guitar, Piggy D (Wednesday 13) on bass and Joey Jordison (Slipknot) on drums. ‘I’m very into it because the band I have now is my favourite band I’ve ever had, so I’m glad we can return on top form.’ Pillaging his horror roots with previous films House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, then a remake of John Carpenter’s Halloween (plus a sequel), he is due to start work on his next project The Lords of Salem (‘it’s a witch movie’) later this year. He’s achieved the near impossible, going from a hugely successful music career to becoming a respected director.

‘Unlike a lot of bands, we’re bringing our full US show to the UK,’ says Zombie. Unsurprisingly, Zombie’s live performances are bloody, heavy metal theatre.
