The Lords of Salem
We've been waiting...we've always been waiting.
Directed by Rob Zombie
Produced by IM Global, Alliance Films
A hallucinatory, occult-soaked horror film that uses supernatural dread and body horror to explore madness, curse, and satanic revenge in a town haunted by its witch-trial past.
Heidi, a radio DJ, is sent a box containing a record - a "gift from the Lords". The sounds within the grooves trigger flashbacks of her town's violent past. Is Heidi going mad, or are the Lords back to take revenge on Salem, Massachusetts?
