Rob Zombie announced today via his official Facebook that Meg Foster has joined the cast of The Lords of Salem, which begins lensing this fall from the producing team behind Insidious and Paranormal Activity.

Foster will play “Margaret Morgan”, the leader of a secret coven of witches in Salem.

She has appeared in such films as John Boorman’s The Emerald Forest, Sam Peckinpah’s The Osterman Weekend, John Carpenter’s They Live and Robert Kaylor’s Carny.

“The story is about a local DJ who mistakenly unleashes a hellish curse on the town. 300 years earlier on the very streets of Salem that the townspeople walk on today, innocent folks were rounded up from their homes, convicted of being witches and sentenced to death. The Lords of Salem ran the town with an iron fist, but four witches who were tortured and killed in secrecy vowed that one day they would be back for revenge.”
