Growing up, Rob had a fascination with horror films, and has stated that he always "wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, and Stan Lee. raising their sons, Rob's parents worked in a carnival, but they chose to leave after a riot broke out and tents were set on fire. Zombie recalled the experience in an interview, stating, "Everybody's pulling out guns, and you could hear guns going off. I remember this one guy we knew, he was telling us where to go, and some guy just ran up to him and hit him in the face with a hammer — just busted his face wide open. My parents packed up real quick, and we took off."
Cummings graduated from Haverhill High School in 1983. He moved to New York City, and he began attending Parsons School of Design where he met eventual girlfriend Sean Yseult. Zombie later moved in with Yseult in her apartment.
