Immediately following the "Hell on Earth" tour with Slayer, Rob Zombie will begin production on his sixth feature film, "The Lords of Salem," that he wrote and will direct. Set to be filmed in Los Angeles and Salem, MA, Zombie explains, "There were twenty people that everyone knows about, obviously all innocent, executed as witches in Salem. The basic premise of the film is that there was a small coven, actual witches, who were put to death secretly, and vowed one day to return to wreak havoc on Salem's descendants.

"As it stands now, this is probably the bleakest of all of my films," Zombie continued, "a long, slow decent into the bowels of Hell."
