JOHN 5 To Score ROB ZOMBIE's 'The Lords Of Salem' Film

October 11, 2011

Rob Zombie has tapped his guitarist John 5 to score Zombie's upcoming film, "The Lords Of Salem".

According to Rob, John 5 who has released several solo albums and has previously worked with Marilyn Manson, Rob Halford and David Lee Roth, among many others "totally understands the vibe of the film and is the perfect choice to create the music."

Zombie recently told Empire magazine that "The Lords Of Salem" will be his "bleakest" outing yet this from the man whose four previous directorial efforts include the ultra-violent "The Devil's Rejects" and two grim "Halloween" movies. As for the plot of "Salem", Zombie gave a more detailed outline than before, saying, "There were twenty people that everyone knows about obviously all innocent executed as witches in Salem . . . there were a further four who actually were witches, who were killed secretly, and vowed one day to return to wreak havoc on Salem's descendants. That's when the movie jumps ahead to the present day and things start to go wrong."

Zombie said he's had the idea for the movie for years, even before he recorded the song of the same name.

Zombie, who directed all his own music videos, made his debut as a feature film writer and director with 2003's "House Of 1000 Corpses".
