“Hot off the press! Here is a look at a new bit of nasty LORDS OF SALEM business straight from Wayne Toth’s SFX shop. I wonder who’s sitting on that thing?”
Toth has provided the special effects on all of Zombie’s previous works. His latest is currently in pre-production. The film is said to have a lot of practical effects with no plans for CGI. Jason Blum, Oren Peli and Steven Schneider – the team behind PARANORMAL ACTIVITY – are producing for Haunted Movies.
Heidi, a blonde 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 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.
