The Lords of Salem turns 4
Time sure does fly.
The Lords of Salem, the 6th full length movie from Rob Zombie came out on April 19 2013. The film, starring Sheri Moon Zombie, Meg Foster, Patricia Quinn, Jeff Daniel Phillips and Judy Geeson among others, centered on the character of Heidi Hawthorne, a radio DJ who upon hearing a mysterious record sent to the station begins to succumb to a strange spell. The spell is revenge from a coven of witches, burnt to death in the 1600’s and now exacting their revenge on blood relatives of their murderers.
The film featured a full length book based on the original shooting script and was the first Rob Zombie film to feature a score written by his axe man John 5.

Educated Horses is 11 years old
Yes time does fly. Educated Horses is now 11 years old.
The album which came out on March 28 2006 was the first to feature guitarist John 5 and featured four videos, including two animated videos for The Lords of Salem and American Witch featuring animation from David Hartman.
The album debuted at number 5 on the Billboard charts and the track The Lords of Salem was nominated for a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance of 2008.
Explaining the album title Rob said at the time; “It was a weird kind of phrase, like, that I remembered as something as a kid. You know, my parents, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, the whole family, were involved in carnival business and, like, circus business, so as a kid, we would get dragged to these things, and we’d have to spend all this time there. And that was just one of the attractions I remember, what they would call the trained animals, you know, educated horses.”
