From what I've seen from Rob Zombie.

House Of 1000 Corpses - Lets rip off Tobe Hooper and call it paying homage or re-imaging.

The Devil's Rejects - Let's ignore what I did in my first movie and pretty much everything about it and make a 70's exploitation action adventure film instead.

After seeing those movies my main thought was "Hey, at least Bill Mosley will become popular" and Bill is now highly in demand for films and having met him, am very happy for him. He is such a great guy and I love to see him working, even if it's not a film I care for, I still like to see him out there working. As far as the movies go though, I could care less if I ever see either of them again.

Halloween - Good casting with Scout Taylor-Compton. She did a great job and was a perfect follow up to the character Jamie Lee Curtis created. Unfortunately the rest of the film and the backstory of Michael Myers did nothing for me and did not enhance the story in anyway.

Halloween 2 - Total garbage. Destroyed the character of Laurie Strode and everything the legacy of Halloween stood for.

The Lords Of Salem - Double garbage. Yes, Rob we all know you're in love with the 70's exploitation, atmospheric, trippy films. Yes, I understand you're trying to make something more Art House...but you sadly failed on every level of execution. You had an O.K. idea and several good actors, but missed the boat with everything else. You can't rely on trippy irony for the entire film without losing all tension and the ability to tell any sort of narrative.

I would suggest Rob Zombie quit trying to write his own films and get an actual writer, or if he is going to purse "Absolute Film" in the horror genre then he needs to watch more Lucio Fulci and take notes on how to do it effectively.
