Rob Zombie Unmasks New ‘Lords of Salem’ Promo Art

The gritty, lo-fi, stark black and white imagery first seen in the initial art released for Lords of Salem looks to have continued with this new piece of promo art.  It is almost reminiscent of a band flier you would find in a seedy bar in the late 70’s.  Given the director’s love of that period of films, I say that the tone of the art seems appropriate.  Plus, since the film centers around a DJ at a radio station,  the poster seems all the more fitting. The Rob Zombie film just began filming eight days ago and is heading to the American Film Market next week. Enjoy the slightly NSFW poster below.

Official synopsis:

Heidi, a blond rock chick, DJs at a local radio station, and together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster) forms part of the “Big H Radio Team.”

A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, a gift of the Lords. She assumes it’s a rock band on a mission to spread to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lord’s record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.

Later, White plays the Lord’s record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with his listeners.

The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon, Heidi and her cohorts are far from the rock spectacle they’re expecting. The original Lords or Salem are returning and they’re out for blood.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
