‘The Lords of Salem’ Picture Lock & A Look At Satan’s Pen 15…
We’ve all been wondering what the hell is going on with Rob Zombie’s The Lords of Salem, his latest genre offering that will bring the witches a salem back for a slaughter.
The rocker turned shock-rocker has provided a hefty update via Twitter that leads me to believe Salem could be hitting the festival scene this summer/fall.
“I am done editing THE LORDS OF SALEM! Now onto the next phase,” says Zombie, looking forward to the sound mix and color correction. After a series of additional photography, it’s good news that he’s officially past recutting the film.
Hoping to regain your interest, he also shared the following: “Here is another behind the scenes look at some rather disgusting chunky bits from THE LORDS OF SALEM. Wayne Toth sure has made a nasty looking whatever-you-want-to-call-it. Enjoy.” It’s nasty alright; inside you’ll find a look at Satan’s lower half, including his covered up weanis.
“The story is about a local DJ who mistakenly unleashes a hellish curse on the town. 300 years earlier on the very streets of Salem that the townspeople walk on today, innocent folks were rounded up from their homes, convicted of being witches and sentenced to death. The Lords of Salem ran the town with an iron fist, but four witches who were tortured and killed in secrecy vowed that one day they would be back for revenge.”
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
