Rob Zombie To Stop Making Horror Movies Because Of The Failure Of "The Lords Of Salem"?

In case you didn't know, Rob Zombie will released a brand NEW album, 'Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor'  (Zodiac Swan/T-Boy/Ume), on April 23, and his latest feature film, "The Lords of Salem" (Anchor Bay), on April 26.

Upon the release of "The Lords Of Salem", the results were not what Zombie expected and it quickly became his less successful film to date. During the weekend of April 26, the film opened in 355 theaters, which is considered a limited release and grossed $622,000 with a per-theater average of $1,752. Other limited releases during the same weekend the film was relesed included the sports film Home Run, which opened in 381 theaters with a per-screen average of $4,260 and a total gross of $1,623,000, and the indie drama Filly Brown, which only opened at 188 theaters, but had a per-screen average of $7,250 and a total gross of $1,363,000. In fact, The Lords of Salem had the lowest per-screen average of ANY new release during that weekend.

Is this why Zombie has announced that he will not be making horror movies for a long time?

The Phoenix New Times recently interviewed Zombie and asked him if he would be interested in doing a monster movie next and his answer was:

"No. I’m not really thinking of doing anything . . . Lords of Salem is my last sort of horror-genre related film for a really long time."

Read the entire interview HERE!

Perhaps Zombie just want to change gears for a bit, but we personally believe that Zombie is meant to be producing horror films. Lets see what he has in store in the near future. It is always exciting to see what this "Golden God" comes up with.

Don't forget that Zombie will be headlining this year's Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest (tour dates below)!

Filmsynopsis: "A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, a gift of the Lords. She assumes it's a rock band on a mission to spread to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lord's record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma. Later, Whitey plays the Lord's record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with his 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 are far from the rock spectacle they're expecting. The original Lords or Salem are returning and they're out for blood."

ROB ZOMBIE Releases Official Movie Trailer For 'The Lords Of Salem' - Watch It Now!

Zombie's latest film, 'The Lords of Salem', is currently in the final stages of post-production and promises to be Zombie's most insane film yet. "I am enjoying taking my time finishing this film. I hate rushing things at this stage of the process, so it is a luxury to take it slow and really fine-tune every part of the production", stated Zombie. No release date is set yet for the film.

Zombie recently told The Aquarian Weekly that "The Lords Of Salem" is "a different movie for me. I hate calling it a horror movie because it's more than that. It's very much like a psychological terror film, and it's a very different style. The other films were very in-your-face violent. This is more like a total mindfuck movie, and it's just very different, but I'm very excited about it because the fans of what I've done will love it, but it's a very different trip than I've tried before because I didn't want to just go and do the same thing again — and after doing two 'Halloween' films in a row, I wanted to break the mold of anything like that — but very, very different."

Filmsynopsis: "A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, a gift of the Lords. She assumes it's a rock band on a mission to spread to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lord's record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.
