In that short time, he has amassed an incredible collection of movie posters that currently numbers around 1,000! He lives and works in Washington, DC, and has been collecting movie posters since March 2009. Rob's new studio album, The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy Theory, is set for a March 12 street date.Mel is a 42 year old attorney working for the the federal government. While Zombie gave up poster collecting, his passion for film and music have continued. So he was still collecting right up to the last second. Nobody wants to die and I don't think anybody could believe, especially him that he was going to. "I remember him saying so clear, 'Ha Rob, right now, you're the fine, proud owner of a fine French Wolfman poster.' But it was like in that last second, I think in a way. Zombie says even though he was ill, Ramone had recently purchased the poster which he then sold to Zombie. But actually Johnny bought it and he had it in his house." You don't realize how much the collecting is connected to a friendship with someone until they aren't there anymore," he explains. "It just seemed like, who cares? And I stopped talking about posters with people. Zombie admits the loss affected his passion for poster collecting. And I was just like, now what? I swear, I never bought another thing after that." And the day he died, I remember being over his house and he had died. And my other collecting friend was Johnny Ramone from the Ramones. That was the big thing I would sink all my cash into. He continued, "The big thing which you can't see from an angle here was vintage movie posters. I don't even know why you're trying to get it in the first place. Like, you're never going to get everything. But collecting is sort of like a sickness because you somehow.
"The reason I stopped is kind of a sad story.
"I am not a compulsive collector anymore.
