It seems like ages ago when Rob Zombie's crew was in the city shooting "The Lords of Salem." But the wait is over. The horror film made its East Coast debut Wednesday night at CinemaSalem. That's well in advance of the film's general release on Friday. The film is set in present-day Salem, and you'll see a lot of the city in the finished product.

As of early this morning, an online fundraising effort to save CinemaSalem that kicked off last week is some $4,000 away from reaching its goal. Theater Owner Paul Van Ness has enlisted the help of Kickstarter, an online fundraising platform, in the hopes of raising the $60,000 needed to buy the digital projectors he needs to stay in business.
