Rob Zombie posted another casting update for The Lords of Salem and revealed that Dee Wallace has joined the cast as Sonny, who is described as "a self-help guru". She's known for her genre roles, such as E.T., The Howling, Cujo, Critters, and also previously worked with Rob Zombie on Halloween and The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto.
She joins previously announced cast members Bruce Dern, Trosten Voges, Ernest Thomas, Meg Foster, and Jeff Daniel Phillips. In today's update, Rob Zombie also noted that filming will start in less than 2 weeks, so we should have multiple of new cast announcements coming up this week.
“Heidi, a blonde rock chick, DJs as a local radio station, and together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster) forms part of the ‘Big H Radio Team’.
A myserious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, ’a gift from the Lords’. She assumes it’s a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords’ record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.
Later, Whitey plays the Lords’ record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with 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 find that the gig is far from the rock spectacle they’re expecting: the original Lords of Salem are returning, and they’re out for BLOOD.”
