Rob Zombie has posted another casting update for The Lords of Salem. The newest addition of the cast is Maria Conchita Alonso (The Running Man, Predator 2), who is playing the wife of Bruce Dern's character in the film:

"Miss Venezuela moves to Salem. MARIA CONCHITA ALONSO has joined the cast of THE LORDS OF SALEM! Maria takes on the role of Alice Matthias, wife of Salem author Francis (Bruce Dern) Matthias. Should Francis have listened to his wife and minded his own business? You decide."

The Lords of Salem begins shooting next week in Salem, Massachusetts, so expect more casting news over the next couple of weeks. Previously announced cast members include Lisa Marie, Richard Lynch, Billy Drago, Dee Wallace, Bruce Dern, Trosten Voges, Ernest Thomas, Meg Foster, and Jeff Daniel Phillips.

“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.”
