Apparently the masses just can’t get enough of Rob Zombie this Halloween season.

The macabre-loving rocker, filmmaker and haunted experience coordinator extraordinaire has announced that he will perform at a second date of his Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare at the Pomona Fairplex.

The Halloween attraction combines scary mazes and big-name concerts so you can rock out and get scared out of your mind in the same night.

Zombie was already booked to headline Saturday, Nov. 2, the final night of Great American Nightmare, with Eagles of Death Metal and Powerman 5000. Now he is also on the bill for Friday, Nov. 1 with  Powerman 5000 and 45 Grave.

There is also an electronic dance music late-night after party on Nov. 1 with Destroid and Dirtyphonics.

The Great American Nightmare has multiple mazes, including one where the walls shock you while you are deprived of sight, and one that’s too explicit to talk about in detail in a family publication.

Speaking of the Great American Nightmare, Andrew W.K., who I just saw at The Vault in Temecula over the weekend, is performing on Halloween night with Jello Biafra, Agent Orange and more.

Pre-sale tickets start at $30 for Thursdays and Sundays and $35 for Fridays and Saturdays, but the Rob Zombie nights start at $45. The tickets get you into the show and the mazes.

Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare is located at the Pomona Fairplex at 1101 W. McKinley Ave. in Pomona. Visit www.greatamericannightmare.com for more information.

After the last batch of shows at Splash Kingdom in Redlands, it seemed like everyone who went to see Voodoo Glow Skulls just had to jump in the foam pit and post pictures of them doing it on Facebook.

You have another chance to flip into the foam and rock out on Saturday, Aug. 3 when Adema comes to the water park.

Adema, which had hits with “Giving In” and “The Way You Like It” back in 2001, will be joined by noteworthy local rockers, including As You Were, Divide The Day, Fire Sets Fire, The Mendenhall Experiment, Reveille For Radicals, The StillWinter, Inertia, Inside Riot, and The Victory Brand.

1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, Splash Kingdom,1101 California St., Redlands, $10 in advance, all ages.

Here’s Adema’s best known hit, “Giving In.”
