Salem to Host Screening of Zombies Frankenstein vs. The Witchfinder

Rob Zombie has always made promoting his films a bit interesting, especially with his “films within a film” videos/artwork. He continues the trend with a very special screening of Frankenstein vs. The Witchfinder, which takes place within his now-filming The Lords of Salem.

“FRANKENSTEIN VS THE WITCHFINDER! Coming Soon to a theater near you! That is if you live in Salem, MA! This amazing lost classic starring Udo Kier, Clint Howard, Daniel Roebuck and Camille Keaton is being screening at the WIQZ Freak-Fest. Don’t miss it. One night only!” Zombie jokes.

You’ll find a look at the event poster inside, along with two behind-the scenes images of Zombie and his hard working crew. READ MORE

Whenever I see the cast of a Rob Zombie movie I think of the scene in BASEketball where the team’s owner has a collection of real-life stars, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabber, who sit in glass cases during business hours…

With day 17 underway, Rob Zombie continues to jam his The Lords of Salem cast with collectible names that you’d see at a local horror convention. This morning he revealed that he will once again be working with genre fav Sid Haig (House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, Halloween) who will play “Dean Magnus”, the other half of the witch finding duo known as “The Brothers.”

Sid is best known for cult classics like Spiderbaby, Coffy, Black Mama, White Mama, CC and Company and The Big Dollhouse.

Meg Foster, Ernest Thomas, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Torsten Voges, Bruce Dern, Sheri Moon Zombie, Dee Wallace, Billy Drago, Richard Lynch, Lisa Marie, Maria Conchita Alonso, Ken Foree, Bruce Davidson, Christopher Knight, Michael Berryman also star.

And so it continues. The Hills Have Eyes star Michael Berryman is joining The Lords of Salem, which reteams him with The Devil’s Rejects director Rob Zombie.

“Michael Berryman is the latest name to join the crew down in merry old Salem as Virgil Magnus, 50% of a well-known witch hunting duo called The Brothers,” says Zombie, who is now on his second week of filming here in Los Angeles.

Berryman has been shocking audiences for over 35 years in films like One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Deadly Blessing and even Weird Science.

He joins Meg Foster, Ernest Thomas, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Torsten Voges, Bruce Dern, Sheri Moon Zombie, Dee Wallace, Billy Drago, Richard Lynch, Lisa Marie, Maria Conchita Alonso, Ken Foree, Bruce Davidson and Christopher Knight.

“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.” READ MORE

With a giant cast that already includes Meg Foster, Barbara Crampton, Ernest Thomas, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Torsten Voges, Bruce Davidson, Sheri Moon Zombie, Dee Wallace, Billy Drago, Richard Lynch, Lisa Marie, Maria Conchita Alonso and Ken Foree, Rob Zombie is adding a little more childhood nostalgia to The Lords of Salem, which is currently shooting.

“Pork chops and applesauce head to Salem! What the fuck does that mean? Of course it means Christopher Knight has joined our group. Chris plays Keith Williams aka Lobster Joe the host of Lobster Joe’s Fishy Fun Show a staple of local Salem television.

Chris has appeared in everything from Happy Days and Gunsmoke to The Bionic Woman and Chips. But we all know Chris best as Peter Brady from the legendary show THE BRADY BUNCH.”

If Zombie is really trying to go nuts with demons this time around and wants to mine the wholesome family programming of his youth, he should let H.R. Pufnstuf get in on the action.
