Barbara-Crampton-Sexy-Salem

Rocker-turned-director Rob Zombie continues to dust off horror icons for his now-in-production rock-and-roll witchcraft frightener The Lords of Salem. Oft nude scream queen Barbara Crampton, best known for her roles in Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator and From Beyond, is the latest to join Zombie’s eclectic cast.

Says Zombie:

Salem re-animates! Barbara Crampton has joined the cast of THE LORDS OF SALEM as Virginia Cable, a camera operator for a local kid’s show at Salem Public Access TV called LOBSTER JOE’S FISHY FUN SHOW. She should be safe enough working there… or is she?

Joining Crampton in the project are old-schoolers Dee Wallace (The Howling), Meg Foster (They Live), Lisa Marie (Ed Wood), Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead, 1978), Richard Lynch (The Sword and the Sorcerer), Billy Drago (Vamp), Bruce Dern (Silent Running), Ernest Thomas (“What’s Happening”) and Maria Conchita Alonso (The Running Man).

The Lords of Salem follows a 300-year-old coven of witches masquerading as a rock outfit to take over a small town. Oren Peli, Jason Blum, and Steven Schneider—the team behind Paranormal Activity and Insidious—will produce through their company Haunted Films.

Crampton, now 52, will also be seen next year in surprise Toronto International Film Festival darling You’re Next, a hardcore home invasion thriller starring Step Up 3’s Sharni Vinson that Lionsgate hopes to launch into a franchise.
