Lords of Salem plot
Set in Salem, Massachusetts, Lords of Salem follows Heidi, a recovering drug addict who works as a DJ at a local rock station. She receives a mysterious wooden box containing an album by a band called The Lords. When she and her colleague Whitey listened to the record, they experienced disturbing visions of Satan worship and rituals involving newborn babies. The vision ends when they turn off the record.
Heidi quickly interviewed Frances Mathias, an author who specializes in the Salem Witch Trials. When the radio station played the Lords record, the women of Salem fell into a trance. Matthias became more and more concerned about the band’s name. Later, Heidi’s landlord Lacey invites her to a party with her sisters, Sonny and Megan. Megan, a palm reader, is disturbed by her predictions of dark sexual desires in Heidi.
As Heidi’s experiences become increasingly disturbing, she enters a supposedly vacant apartment and sees a demon and a naked witch ordering her to “bleed our king.” Believing it was a nightmare, she woke up in her own bed. Seeking comfort, Heidi visits a church but has a horrific dream in which the priest attacks her. She encounters a ghost who claims to have been waiting for her.
Meanwhile, Matthias delved into the history of the House of Lords and discovered that the music was associated with gatherings of Satan worshipers in the 17th century. Their leader, Margaret Morgan, cursed the women of Salem and the descendants of Reverend Hawthorne, prophesying that in his lineage would be born a child of the devil.
As Heidi’s mental state deteriorates, she becomes increasingly attracted to the music of the Lords. Lacey, Sonny and Megan take Heidi to a mysterious apartment where they discover a grand opera house with a demonic figure sitting on a throne. The entity hugged Heidi, but she eventually returned to her bedroom.
Mathias attempts to reveal the truth about the Lords and their lineage to Heidi, but is killed by Lacey and her sisters in front of her. Heidi is unaffected by the murder and becomes passive. Later, at the Lords concert, Heidi participated in a Satanic ritual with Lacey, Sonny, Megan, and the spirits of Margaret and her coven.
The music causes the female audience members to strip naked, and in a surreal vision, Heidi gives birth to a bizarre crayfish-like creature, surrounded by the lifeless bodies of naked women.
The film ends in the aftermath of the concert, with radio stations reporting on the mass suicide that occurred and Heidi’s disappearance. The story of “Lords of Salem” explores themes of witchcraft, curses, and the dark forces that have plagued the town’s history, ultimately leaving viewers unsettled and questioning the line between reality and nightmare.
