SKULL - HOW MUCH MORE SKULL COULD IT BE?
NONE! Total Skull is a clothing
line by Sheri Moon Zombie which features fresh new
creative designs that mix the perfect blend of edgy hard rock and cuteness that
characterizes Sheri herself. Sheri explains, "the phrase 'total skull' to
me means awesome, rad the best of the best." This clothing line offers a
wide variety of merchandise for both guys and girls, including, T-shirts, tank
tops, hoodies, clothes for dogs & babies, hats, stickers, patches and other
accessories.
For
nearly 15 years, Sheri has immersed herself in the world of Rock n' Roll. Appearing
in over twenty music videos from some of music's most talented hard rock bands,
including White
Zombie, Prong, Black
Label Society & Rob
Zombie. Sheri's involvement in the music scene includes traveling the world
as a featured dancer for her husband Rob Zombie's tours (most recently on the
2007-2008 Zombie/Ozzy Osbourne arena tour). The spirit of the Total
Skull line was directly inspired by Sheri's own experience performing on
tour. She explains, "I really fell in love with the art of making clothes
when I was dancing on tour. Creating my stage image through clothes was a blast.
I discovered a total sense for what cool chicks and rockin' dudes like to wear.
Total Skull is for those people."
Even
in the years prior to her indoctrination into the world of hard rock, Sheri began
exploring her talents in avenues of artistic expression such as dancing, modeling,
and choreography. One trait that Sheri shares with her husband Rob is her propensity
to constantly seek new outlets for her creativity and artistic eye. Never content
to confine herself to one medium, in 2003 Sheri made her debut on the silver screen
with a head-turning portrayal of psycho killer Baby Firefly
in the cult hit House
of 1000 Corpses.
Sheri's
role as Baby continues in the Sequel to House, The
Devil's Rejects (2005), where fans are treated to a more in-depth portrayal
of the Firefly family dynamics. More realistic in style than House, Rejects also
takes the disturbing violence of its predecessor to the next level in this dark
exploration revenge and obsession. Baby also brings back her trademark foxiness
to the screen. She flaunts her figure to the camera in shredded, barely-there
hip hugger jeans throughout the film. Sheri laughs about her wardrobe, "there's
not much there, I'll tell you!" Normally shy about baring too much skin,
Sheri dropped some of her reserve to achieve Rob's vision for the movie. Even
though Rob is the mastermind behind Rejects, Sheri notes that she did play a part
in influencing some of the hair, makeup, and wardrobe decisions.
With
her country sex appeal and trademark maniacal laugh, Baby has quickly become a
favorite character with horror fans. In 2006 Sheri took home a Spike
TV Scream Award for best villain along side co-stars Sid
Haig, Bill Moseley
and Leslie Easterbrook
for their portrayal of the murderous Firefly Clan in The
Devil's Rejects. Sheri followed up her Scream Award with a Fuse/Fangoria
Chainsaw Award for best duo with her co-star Bill Moseley.
Besides
her roles in Rob's movies, Sheri has appeared in only one other movie to date-Tobe
Hooper's The Toolbox Murders (2004). Here Sheri gained some experience at
the other end of the knife, appearing not as another killer but as a short-lived
victim. Sheri comments on her new role: "well, I didn't mind that. It was
fun to see the other side." Sheri also played the very short yet captivating
role of Eva Krupp, the black widow of Berlin, in Rob Zombie's 3 ½ minute
long faux trailer Werewolf
Women of the SS (2007) for Quentin
Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez's GRINDHOUSE.
Sheri
just recently completed her most eagerly anticipated project to date, playing
the role of Deborah Myers, the mother of Michael
Myers, in Rob's remake of John Carpenter's Classic Horror Film Halloween
(2007). Sheri's role as a troubled parent in Halloween
is a stark contrast to her previous characters in Corpses
& The Devil's Rejects. Her performance is honest
and compelling and highlights her versatility as a serious actress.
In
2008, Sheri is scheduled to make her debut appearance in animated film as crime-fighting
Suzi X in the upcoming feature length film The
Haunted World of El Superbeasto. This bizarre Superhero/Monster sex comedy
is based upon a comic from Rob Zombie and will feature the vocal talents of Paul
Giamatti, Rosario Dawson, Tom Papa, Danny Trejo & MORE!
Despite
her success on screen and off, Sheri never ceases to amaze fans with her genuinely
nice personality. Upon the release of her clothing line, Sheri sanctioned several
fan-orchestrated giveaway contests to reward her biggest fans with free merchandise.
Sheri always loves to meet her fans and hear what they have to say-on the current
Zombie/Ozzy tour, fans of Total Skull were given
the opportunity be chosen to attend a series of exclusive backstage meet and greets
with her. Sheri says," I thought it would be a great idea for me to get to
meet all the Total Skull fans out there-they've been
so supportive for the past year and a half and I wanted to meet them." Of
course meeting so many fans has given her a great source of feedback on what they
like about her clothing line, and she won't hesitate to take their input to heart-"The
fans always email in with suggestions and if I get enough requests for a particular
item I will make it."
Since the Total Skull
line was unveiled in June 2006, Sheri has released several well-received collections.
Total Skull clothing is available at many stores nationwide, and at a handful
of international retailers to date, but all of the latest Total Skull gear can
be purchased on TOTALSKULL.COM.
Sheri looks forward to expanding her Total Skull line in the future, so be on
the lookout for new designs and always ROCK IT WITH LOVE! | | | |
