Rob Zombie has gone ahead and given us another image from behind the scenes of LORDS OF SALEM, this time a look at a few of the flick’s freaky props. Giving them a close peek, they appear to be musical instruments; at least, I think I see a horn, a drum and maybe a skull-topped mandolin. It’s in the eye of the beholder, however. What do you see here?
Heidi is 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.
The LORDS OF SALEM will descend upon us sometime in 2012.
