We have followed the progress of The Lords Of Salem since it’s inception and since ours. We first mentioned it on June 1, 2011. Day ONE!
I love Rob Zombie’s films and personally, cannot wait for this one, so with every fresh update and announcement, I get just a little bit more excited.
So, today, Zombie took to his Facebook dropped off the latest poster along with the following announcement,
“THE LORDS OF SALEM to premiere in September at the TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL.”
So there we have it. That’s where it will be, as part of Toronto Midnight Madness.
The Lords Of Salem stars Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects), Meg Foster (They Live), Ernest Thomas (Malcolm X), Jeff Daniel Phillips (Zombie’s Halloween II), Torsten Voges (8mm), Bruce Davidson (Munger Road), Sheri Moon Zombie (Zombie’s Halloween, The Devil’s Rejects), Dee Wallace (The Howling, Cujo), Billy Drago (The Hills Have Eyes 2006), Richard Lynch (Zombie’s Halloween, Laid to Rest), Lisa Marie (Sleepy Hollow, Mars Attacks!), Maria Conchita Alonso (The Running Man, Predator 2), Ken Foree (The Devil’s Rejects, Dawn of the Dead), Christopher Knight (The Brady Bunch) and Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes 1977, The Devil’s Rejects).
(Check out our recent interview with Michael Berryman HERE).
The synopsis is as follows,
“Heidi, a blonde rock chick, DJs at a local radio station and, together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster), forms part of the “Big H Radio Team”.
A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, “a gift from the Lords”. She assumes it’s a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords’ record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.
Later Whitey plays the Lords’ record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with listeners.
The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H Team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon Heidi and her cohorts find that the gig is far from the rock spectacle they’re expecting: The original Lords of Salem are returning, and they’re out for BLOOD.”
More as it comes…
