Take a Look at Michael Berryman in ‘THE LORDS OF SALEM’

Now that Rob Zombie has completed initial shooting for his upcoming tale of ghosts and witchcraft, The Lords of Salem, we might begin to see some more stills and maybe even a teaser trailer for the film.  Via his Facebook page, the musician/director posted our first look at genre actor Michael Berryman.  Known for his portrayal of Pluto in Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes, Berryman previously worked with Zombie on the 2005 film The Devil’s Rejects. It looks like the actor might appear in one of the flashback sequences of Salem, Massachusetts, given the clothing that appears in the photo.  According to IMDB, his character name is Virgil Magnus.  Hopefully more info and footage from the film will appear soon.  For now, you can read the synopsis of the film and view the new photo below.

Heidi, a blonde rock chick, DJs at a local radio station, and together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster) forms part of the “Big H Radio Team”.

A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, “a gift from the Lords”. She assumes it’s a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords’ record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.

Later Whitey plays the Lords’ record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with listeners.

The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H Team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon Heidi and her cohorts find that the gig is far from the rock spectacle they’re expecting: the original Lords of Salem are returning, and they’re out for blood.
