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.”

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.

House of 1000 Corpses is 14 years old
Fourteen years ago Rob Zombie unleashed his debut film on the world – House of 1000 Corpses – and introduced horror fans to the diabolical Firefly family. The film was a carefully created homage to B-Movie horrors and the Marx Brothers. Fans took to their hearts Sheri Moon Zombie’s Baby Firefly, Captain Spaulding, played by Sid Haig and Otis Driftwood as portrayed by Bill Moseley. The film went on to spawn an equally loved sequel – The Devil’s Rejects.
Back on the 10th anniversary we shared this fantastic look back on the movie from Brutal As Hell: robzombie.com/2013/04/happy-birthday-10-years-of-house-of-1000-corpses/ – it’s still a good read today.
