Rob Zombie has teamed up with writer Bret Easton Ellis and Alcon Television to develop a project for Fox about the 1969 Manson Family murders, according to Variety.
The project, which is reportedly in a very early stage of development at Fox, will be directed by Zombie, who has long had a fascination with Charles Manson, the mastermind behind the gruesome California killings, which left actress Sharon Tate — who had been 8 1/2 months pregnant with filmmaker Roman Polanski’s child — and several others dead. In 2013, the former White Zombie singer turned filmmaker created the Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare Halloween haunted house attraction in Los Angeles, CA, which included elements from the Mansion Family killing spree.
After Rob Zombie’s latest movie, The Lords of Salem, came out Zombie said that it would be “my last sort of horror-genre related film for a really long time.” That was back in May 2013.
However things seem to be taking a complete 180 degree turn to that statement via an interview Zombie just conducted in New Zealand, and reveals that he is indeed returning to horror for his next film.
Every Halloween, when it comes to entertainment, most people immediately think of horror films…but what about music? Over the years many artists have attempted to bring the “shock” back into rock.
So, if you are hosting a Halloween party this year, here are some performers that will help you turn it into a heavy metal Halloween.
Last Time on Skull-Face Island: Faithful robotic butler Mar-10 took Adam on a magical, mysterious journey to Austin, TX, to fulfill his destiny by visiting the South by Southwest Film Festival. David, worried that he may have inadvertently killed Adam using a voodoo doll, is searching the island for his lost companion. During all of this, Tim was drunk and hallucinating after drinking two-too-many Skull-Face Island Iced Teas”¦
Today’s Episode: We find Adam safe and sound in Austin, TX, where he is attending movies at SXSW. Mar-10 left to take care of some robot business, but gave Adam a special two-way radio to communicate with Tim (who has become a raging alcoholic) and report his moviegoing experiences.
We join Adam now as he contacts Tim with mini-reviews of James Ponsoldt‘s Sundance hit, The Spectacular Now and Rob Zombie‘s latest horror flick, The Lords of Salem. We’ll also check-in on David’s Adventure: The Mystery of the Missing Adam…
The Lords of Salem Director: Rob Zombie Screenwriter: Rob Zombie Cast: Sheri Moon Zombie, Bruce Davison, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Ken Foree, Patricia Quinn, Dee Wallace, Meg Foster
Synopsis:From the singular mind of horror maestro Rob Zombie comes a chilling new nightmare. The Lords of Salem tells the tale of Heidi, a radio station disc jockey living in Salem, Massachusetts, who receives a strange wooden box containing a vinyl record and a note: “A Gift from the Lords.” Heidi listens, and the bizarre sounds within the grooves immediately trigger flashbacks of the town’s violent past. — Anchor Bay Films
Rob Zombie‘s latest film, The Lords of Salem, is a surprisingly understated slow-burn in the vein of Ti West’s House of the Devil. Zombie attempts to build suspense and create unbearable tension before unleashing a truly bizarre, grotesque hex on the film’s main character, Heidi (played by Zombie’s wife, Sheri Moon Zombie).
