Away Team

In an announcement made today, Haunted Movies partner Jason Blum unveiled plans for the company’s next picture, THE LORDS OF SALEM, to be directed by Rob Zombie from a script by Zombie. Set in modern-day Salem, the film involves the demonic return of a 300-year-old coven of witches.

This is the third entry in a new horror slate deal between Haunted Movies and Alliance Films. The first picture to come out of this partnership is INSIDIOUS, written and directed by the original SAW team of James Wan and Leigh Whannel, and starring Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne. INSIDIOUS recently premiered in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto Film Festival on September 14 and immediately was the subject of a bidding war, which was won by Sony Pictures Worldwide, who will handle the release of the film later this year. The second picture is THE BAY, helmed by Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson and currently shooting in South Carolina.

Zombie currently is about to embark on a three week tour of debauchery with Alice Cooper on The Halloween Hootenanny Tour with special guests Murderdolls. The tour kicks off in Los Angeles at the Gibson Amphitheatre on Thursday, September 30th and will criss-cross the USA with a tour de force of ghoulish s delights for your aural pleasure, giving the fans a show of a lifetime.
