Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem lands at Anchor Bay
"We're extremely excited to be working on this film with Rob," commented Kevin Kasha, Executive Vice President, Acquisitions and Co-Productions. "It's a perfect fit for Anchor Bay."
"I have always been a fan of the care and respect Anchor Bay has put into their genre titles," said Zombie. "I can't wait to work together to bring this bizarre, special movie to the masses."
The Los Angeles Times dubbed The Lords of Salem "his darkest most unnerving yet," IndieWire declared it "Rob Zombie's best film" and Dread Central said "fans couldn't stop talking about the film" after its premiere in Toronto.
Rock star-turned-horror maven Rob Zombie conjures up a nerve-wracking chiller involving Heidi (Sheri Moon Zombie), a radio station DJ, who receives a wooden box containing a vinyl record, "a gift from the Lords." She assumes it's from a band trying to promote themselves. Heidi and others listen but unbeknownst to them, the bizarre sounds within the grooves immediately trigger flashbacks of Salem's violent past. Is Heidi going mad or are the Lords of Salem returning for revenge on modern day Salem?
The deal was negotiated by Kevin Kasha, Marc Barson and Josh Thomashow for Anchor Bay Films and by Josh Braun of Submarine and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones for Alliance Films. Alliance Films financed the film which was produced by Andy Gould, Jason Blum, Oren Peli and Steven Schneider. Kavanaugh-Jones is the executive producer.
The Lords of Salem was released April 19th, 2013 and stars Sheri Moon Zombie, Bruce Davison, Jeffrey Daniel Phillips, Judy Geeson, Meg Foster, Patricia Quinn, Ken Foree, Dee Wallace. The film is directed by Rob Zombie.

@crypt Batman killed Dracula... defeats Bane, whom is 10 times stronger than Hellboy, can outsmart the Riddler whom is a master genius... Hellboy wouldn't stand a chance... But the really fun thing is they are both heroes... so they would actually team up! ;)
