If you're a fan of Rob Zombie's eerie aesthetic, Neck Bolt Publishing has something thrilling in store for you. The official Rob Zombie coloring book has hit the shelves, offering over 30 pages of coloring activities alongside cut-out crafts, masks, paper dolls, and other delightfully spooky extras. The book features intricate illustrations by Pete Bregman, with an eye-catching cover designed by Suspiria Vilchez.
The release is part of a growing trend in adult coloring books inspired by heavy metal and hard rock. Critically acclaimed publisher Fantoons has led the charge in this niche, having created similar works dedicated to Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, Rush, Johnny Ramone, and Motörhead. Fantoons has also ventured into "Where's Wally"-style books, with playful tributes like Where Is Lemmy? (centered on the late Motörhead frontman), Where Is Alice Cooper?, and the upcoming Where's Geddy, Alex, And Neil?, which celebrates the legendary members of Rush.
The boom in adult coloring books isn't just about nostalgia or fandom — it's also about wellness. Back in 2017, artist and designer Laura Marr shared her thoughts on the growing appeal of coloring books: "Growing up with the ability to draw, people have often told me ‘I wish I could do that.' People want to create art, but there are many reasons why they don't. Whether it's a lack of time or not feeling confident in their skills, the popularity of coloring books over the last few years is a testament to how people enjoy creative expression, for stress relief, relaxation, social interaction, and more."
So, if you feel like channeling your creativity or indulging in some Halloween-inspired fun to the rhythm of "Living Dead Girl" or "Spookshow Baby", check out the Zombie's coloring book here.
