We all knew more names were going to get dropped for LORDS OF SALEM, as it begins shooting next week. Not sure we expected Rob Zombie to announce this name though. Lisa Marie aka Vampira from Tim Burton’s ED WOOD is coming back to film after a 10-year absence.
Rob Zombie just made the big announcement this morning:
Here’s some cool casting news we are excited about! LISA MARIE has signed on as Priscilla Reed, a woman who gives her all to support “the cause of the coven” in merry old Salem.
Lisa hasn’t appeared on screen since 2001 in Tim Buron’s remake of Planet Of The Apes. Before that fans obviously remember her from such films as Mars Attacks! Sleepy Hollow and of course her turn as VAMPRA in Ed Wood.
A woman who supports the coven, a witch in disguise maybe?
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.
Lisa will join Meg Foster, Ernest Thomas, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Dee Wallance, Bruce Dern, Torsten Voges, Sheri Moon Zombie, Billy Drago, Richard Lynch and John Five.
