Barbara Crampton joins Rob Zombie’s The Lords of Salem

Rob Zombie has announced that genre favorite Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, From Beyond) has joined The Lords of Salem. She'll be playing the role of Virginia Cable, "a camera operator for a local kid's show at Salem Public Access TV called LOBSTER JOE'S FISHY FUN SHOW. She should be safe enough working there... or is she?"

The Lords of Salem started shooting this week on location in Salem, Massachusetts, and previously announced cast members include Ken Foree, Lisa Marie, Richard Lynch, Billy Drago, Dee Wallace, Bruce Dern, Trosten Voges, Ernest Thomas, Meg Foster, Maria Conchita Alonso, 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.”
