Rob Zombie has been answering fan questions on his official blog and gave an update on the status of his upcoming film, The Lords of Salem. Previous trade reports suggested that filming would begin in June, but now we have official word that shooting won't start until later in the year:

"We have begun working, but not shooting yet. This is a very practical FXs heavy film, so that department has been working for awhile building insane shit. I will start after the summer. No one is on board yet but casting will start very soon."

The official full plot synopsis was released yesterday, which involves the Lords of Salem returning after a played record brings them back from the grave:

"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."
