Rob Zombie is in the midst of his second week of filming on The Lords of Salem. And with the American Film Market just around the corner, some new artwork touting the film landed on doorstep. You can click on the image below to see it in hi-res.
In this exclusive video interview, Rob Zombie discusses his new movie The Lords of Salem and his love of the horror genre with HorrorTalk writer Ted McCarthy.

A decade ago Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses was finally released after being shelved for years by its original distributor. To put it mildly I was not impressed, to be blunt I outright hated the film. Since then I've grown to mildly enjoy his other films including the 1000 Corpses’ sequel The Devil’s Rejects and both Halloween sequels. Now Zombie is unleashing his homage to 70’s schlocky witchcraft films with The Lords of Salem and unsurprisingly the results are mixed but not entirely without merit.
I love Rob Zombie and had a very open mind when I watched this movie. I really wanted to like it. It was a complete failure! One of the most pointless movies i've ever seen. So disappointed.
with a lot of negative reviews, the movie has an AVOID sign for those lucky enough to have not wasted their time yet...reminds me of Halloween 2, unpleasant memories of a hot summer afternoon watching a god forsaken movie.
The Lords of Salem is Rob Zombie's newest movie, and the only one he's had complete creative control over. This is both good and bad.
Obviously very kubrick and lynch inspired with noticable nods to the wickerman and eyes wide shut...i say inspired cause i think its a bad attempt to adapt Zombie's directorial career aiming to steer himself part from his more regular slasher/ gore fest...i mean fair play moving over to a better style but develop your own as apose to stealing shots and scenes from the greats of the field...cause as hard as you try you can't copy kubrick
