The Lords of Salem featured in NY Times horror movie list
Rob Zombie’s 2013 movie The Lords of Salem has been featured in an article via the NY Times, as it considers a list of horror movies you may have missed but which are still “worthy additions to the horror canon“.
In the article the NY Times states: “The rocker-turned-director Rob Zombie (“The Devil’s Rejects”) may have a reputation for extreme horror, but “Lords of Salem” isn’t a blood bath, at least not at first” and concludes: “This film has more ambience than a typical Zombie offering; it’s only in the final third that the director uncorks the covens and satanic rituals that have earned the town its reputation.”

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.”
