Rob Zombie’s The Lords Of Salem was one of the splashier deals at the recent Toronto Film Festival, where Anchor Bay acquired distribution for around $2 million after the film played a raucous Midnight Madness premiere, Deadline said.

Now, Zombie has made a teaser for the film that will be released next spring.

While Zombie is a rock icon, he’s chosen an operatic style of music to accompany the imagery for a film that stars Sheri Moon Zombie, Bruce Davison, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Ken Foree, Patricia Quinn, Dee Wallace and Judy Geeson.

Moon Zombie plays a radio DJ in Salem whose playing of a sinister heavy metal tune awakens a coven of nasty 17th century witches.
