When White Zombie unleashed 'La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One' on the world in 1992, the album blew up, leaving a giant crater-like impression on metal and pop culture. Thanks to frontman Rob Zombie, this impact has also extended well into the visual realm.

With a background in the visual arts and an obsession for old horror films, Rob Zombie quickly got involved with the band's music videos. When he went solo in 1998, Zombie amped up the visuals, making videos that were often basically short films. Looking back, it's easy to see that he was gearing up to become a filmmaker. It's been over 20 years since his first music video aired on MTV, so we felt it was time to take a look back. This is our list of the 10 Best Rob Zombie Videos.

    'Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy)'

    From: 'The Sinister Urge' (2001)

    You don't need to be a film student to figure out the inspiration for this song and video. 'Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy)' is Rob Zombie's ode to 'A Clockwork Orange,' complete with white outfits, eye makeup and the bizarre female-themed furniture. This video also features Zombie's very hot wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, who assists with vocals on the chorus. It's definitely one of the more stylized clips in the Zombie canon.

    'Lords of Salem'

    From: 'Educated Horses' (2006)

    The video for 'Lords of Salem' is an animated one, but this is no light-hearted cartoon. This horrific clip depicts a witch hunt where the hunters almost bite off more than they can chew. When they track down the witch, she sends a horde of the undead to block them. Which side emerges victorious? That's for you to see, but rest assured this clip is definitely entertaining.

    From: 'Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor' (2013)

    Rob Zombie and his crew decided to open up the throttle for the 'Dead City Radio' video. While it still has plenty of creepy and exotic elements you've come to expect from Zombie, like a break-dancing skeleton and a sword-balancing belly-dancer, it also adds an element of sci-fi. The video has a 'Beyond Thunderdome' vibe to it, from Rob's headphones and goggles, to the dust-covered nod of everything else in the clip.

    'Black Sunshine'

    From: 'La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One' (1992)

    'More Human Than Human'

    From: 'Astro-Creep: 2000 – Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head' (1995)

    There certainly was a time when the 'More Human Than Human' song and video seemed inescapable with its instantly recognizable slide riff. While the song was loosely inspired by the classic film 'Blade Runner,' the corresponding video took a different approach. Shots of White Zombie performing are spliced together with family film footage of young kids at a theme park, enjoying the holidays and people disguised in masks. It's equally nostalgic and creepy.
