You know how it is: It’s late October, the jack-o-lanterns are out, and you’re looking for extra places around the house to get all spookied up. Cobwebs in the bathroom? Check. Skeletons in the closet? On point. But what about the top drawer in your nightstand? You know the one we mean; the one you’re always terrified…
In what’s either a chilling demonstration of the predictive power of data mining or a totally obvious conclusion you didn’t have to pillage the social-media accounts of thousands of people to find out, Pitchfork reports on a 2015 study from Stanford University and Cambridge University’s Psychometrics Center that…
The world is getting a little too stuffy and—ugh—normal these days, as fewer and fewer people are going out in public with scary face paint and dirty black hoodies covered in skulls, so Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson are going on tour together to give everyone’s conservative moms a much-needed scare. As announced in a…
There’s nothing especially surprising about the fact that Johnny Depp and Marilyn Manson are buddies and collaborators: Both men have, after all, based a large part of their careers on blending some actual talent with a borderline-pathological devotion to freaking out the squares. The two have even worked together on…
Sunday night, in his first concert since a falling prop broke his leg, Marilyn Manson tried out stretch out his old “freak out your parents” muscles by taking out a fake rifle and pointing it at the audience. This comes from Variety, which says the gun had a microphone on it and was “obviously fake,” but the realness…
Earlier this week, Marilyn Manson acted quickly and definitively in response to allegations of sexual assault against his longtime band member Twiggy Ramirez (né Jeordie White). In short: Last Friday, a fellow musician, Jack Off Jill singer Jessicka Addams, came forward to accuse White of sexual assault, describing…
Last Friday, we reported on accusations of domestic abuse and sexual assault levied against Jeordie White—a.k.a. Twiggy Ramirez, the long-time bass player for Marilyn Manson’s band—by Jack Off Jill singer Jessica Addams. Addams’ account described a long-standing pattern of emotional and physical abuse on White’s part…
Scott Putesky, the former guitarist of Marilyn Manson better known as Daisy Berkowitz, has died after a battle with colon cancer. He was 49. Putesky co-founded the band originally known as Marilyn Manson And The Spooky Kids with his friend, Brian Warner, in the late 1980s, the concept growing out of conversations the…
Pitchfork reports that Jeordie White—a.k.a. Twiggy Ramirez, the longtime bassist for Marilyn Manson—has been accused of rape by Jessicka Addams, lead singer of riot grrrl band Jack Off Jill. Addams—whose band has had a long professional and personal association with Manson—wrote a long post to her Facebook wall today,…
A recuperating Marilyn Manson spoke to Yahoo! News recently about the onstage prop mishap that resulted in a broken leg. The Antichrist Superstar artist described the September 30 accident in great detail: Apparently, he wasn’t trying to climb the giant prop guns that were on stage, but rather, trying to keep them…
Last night, Marilyn Manson canceled a show in New York partway through after a giant prop gun landed on him, causing him to be taken out on a stretcher and rushed to a hospital. The official word was that Manson had injured his leg and would be “fine,” but Rolling Stone is now reporting that Manson has been forced to…
Variety reports that Marilyn Manson was forced to abruptly cancel a show earlier tonight, after one of his stage props fell on him during the middle of a performance. Manson and his band were playing their cover of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)” during a show at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom tonight, when he…
Marilyn Manson’s acting awfully diplomatic these days. Just days after discussing patching things up with Trent Reznor in an interview with Consequence Of Sound, the Antichrist Superstar artist has quashed a growing beef with Justin “The Biebs” Bieber. The source of discord between Manson and the not-so-teenybopper…
Hey, remember when Justin Bieber was a fresh-faced young pop star and not the cockiest little turd to ever sport an undercut and some flash-art tattoos? It was long after Marilyn Manson came onto the scene, but that doesn’t excuse how rudely Bieber treated Manson after producing a $195 T-shirt with Manson’s face on it…

Two years after warring electronics companies competing to develop high-capacity CDs declared a truce, their compromise format, the DVD, first went on sale in the U.S. in March of 1997. (Twister, The Mask, GoodFellas, and The Road Warrior were among the first batch of titles.) DVDs didn’t hit major retail chains like…
For its sixth incarnation, Sacramento’s Aftershock Festival has decided to take inspiration from its sponsor Monster Energy and make the dreams of every goth kid sweating through their eyeliner in the parking lot of a suburban 7-11 come true. And it probably wasn’t a hard sell, as headliners Nine Inch Nails and A…
If Twin Peaks brought David Lynch into America’s living rooms, then Lost Highway put him on America’s car stereos. The film itself is a heady mindfuck of a neo-noir tale structured around the idea of a Möbius strip, a reassurance that network TV had not impeded Lynch’s ability to dive into the deeper, darker waters of…
Let Me Make You A Martyr, a revenge thriller about a pair of grown-up siblings who plan to kill their abusive father, has been in the works for quite some time.

The trailer for The Wizard Of Lies might give you a sweet pang of nostalgia, and not just for smoking cigarettes in the back of your friend’s shitty Honda while Marilyn Manson played in the background.
