Sheri Lyn Skurkis was born on September 26, 1970 in San Jose, California, USA. She is an American actress and fashion designer.

Not content to let her talents be confined to one medium, in 2000 Sheri made her debut on the silver screen with her head-turning portrayal of psycho killer Baby Firefly in the cult hit House of 1000 Corpses. With her country sex appeal and trademark maniacal laugh, Baby has quickly become a favorite character with horror fans.

Next up in her film career was a role in the Toolbox Murders, a film directed by classic horror director Tobe Hooper. Here Sheri explored the other side of horror movies, playing a short-lived victim rather than a killer.

Sheri also co-hosted the acclaimed Spookshow International radio show on Indie 1031 in Los Angeles with her husband Rob in 2005. Each week listeners would tune in for an eclectic mix of music-everything from T-Rex to Monty Python-as well as to listen to interviews with everyone from Michael Madsen to PJ Soles.

In 2005, Sheri fleshed out her role as Baby Firefly in the more grown-up and realistic sequel to House of 1000 Corpses entitled The Devil's Rejects. Taking the disturbing violence of House to the next level and exploring how revenge and obsession can blur the lines of justice won Rejects a special place among modern horror films.

Sheri's most recent on-screen appearance was in Rob Zombie's 3 minute long faux trailer, Werewolf Women of the SS (2007), for Grindhouse. The trailer chronicles Hitler's diabolical plan to create a race of superwomen, with Sheri playing a short but captivating role as Eva Krupp, the black widow of Berlin.

She also starred in Rob Zombie's remake of John Carpenter's classic horror film Halloween.

Later in 2007, Sheri will make her debut appearance in animated film as the crime-fighting Suzi X in the upcoming feature length film The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.

On October 31, 2002 she married long time boyfriend Robert Cummings, more well known as Rob Zombie, after almost 13 years of dating.
