Rob Zombie got quite the reception when he arrived at Ryerson Theatre Monday night for the screening of his horror flick, Lords of Salem.

It was part of TIFF's Midnight Madness programming that shows genre films.

When he got out of his SUV alongside his gorgeous wife, Sheri Moon, his fans erupted with excitement.

One fan, Lisa, yelled out, "He's been my god since I was four years old and I just met Rob Zombie!" She then went on to explain how excited she is to have been able to touch his hair.

I got a chance to chat with Rob on the red carpet. He says he's grateful TIFF screens genre films like his.

"It seems as if they treat the movies with respect, so that's nice."

And he says he was looking forward to seeing the audience's reaction to his film first-hand. The reaction he was hoping for? "Confusion."
