With the April 13th, 2012 Cabin in the Woods release date rapidly approaching, more details are being revealed. A nearly full cast has been announced. I’m curious as hell who or what Nosferatu is.

If you’re out of the loop regarding the highly-anticipated horror movie, it’s your standard kids-stranded-in-the-woods-oh-shit-we’re-effed type of entry. Good times I’m sure.

Confirmed cast members:

• Richard Jenkins as Steve Hadley
• Bradley Whitford as Richard Sitterson
• Jodelle Ferland as Patience Bruckener
• Jesse Williams as Holden McCrea
• Chris Hemsworth as Curt Vaughan
• Anna Hutchison as Jules Louden
• Keith David as The Director
• Fran Kranz as Marty Mikalski
• Kristen Connolly as Dana Polk
• Brian J. White as Alex Truman

• Tom Lenk as Ronald
• Tyler Onassis as Nosferatu

Not to be outdone in 2012, Rob Zombie is trucking right along with his original film, The Lords of Salem. If you think this looks super fucked up based solely on the poster – I agree. It’s safe to assume Mr. Zombie will be firing on all cylinders.

The plot is as follows:

A local DJ plays a cursed record and unwittingly unleashes a coven of 300-year old witches who were secretly imprisoned and tortured during the Salem Witch Trials.

Yeah, sign me up.

Casting has been announced on this one as well. I can only assume Sheri Moon Zombie and her ass will will be bringing up the “rear”. Har. Sorry, you could get this info from a more professional and pun-free site. I’m glad to see Zombie’s frequent offenders coming back to this one.

• Sheri Moon Zombie as Heidi Hawthorne
• Richard Lynch as Reverend John Hawthorne
• Bruce Davison as Francis Matthias
• Meg Foster as Margaret Morgan
• Ernest Lee Thomas as Chip “Freakshow” McDonald
• Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman “Whitey” Salvador
• Ken Foree as Herman Jackson
• Torsten Voges as Count Gorgann
• Dee Wallace as Sonny
• Billy Drago as Judge Samuel Mather
• Lisa Marie as Priscilla Reed
• María Conchita Alonso as Alice Matthias
• Daniel Roebuck as Michael “The Black Hood” Sullivan
• Barbara Crampton as Virginia Cable
• Christopher Knight as Keith “Lobster Joe” Williams
• Michael Berryman as Virgil Magnus
• Sid Haig as Dean Magnus
• Judy Geeson as Lacy Doyle
• Patricia Quinn as “Megan”
• Camille Keaton as Doris Von Fux

Some new images from the movie have been released, and while they aren’t tremendous reveals by any means, I’m excited as hell. I love Zombie’s directing style and his locations are nearly perfect. Enjoy the pics and mark both of these flicks on your horror calendar. I wish I had a firm release date for TLOS, I’m sure it’s right around the corner.
