7 Horribly Scary Manson Videos...
Ah, Halloween Night is upon us again, but before you go to off to the land of dreams there´s not better thing than a good scare.
Over the past sixteen years we´ve seen some very disturbing scene in Marilyn Manson´s universe, but can you recall the most mind-blowing, creepiest and spookiest experiences ever?
1. Dope Hat, Smells Like Children, 1995.
What starts off as an innocent tribute to Willy Wonka´s legendary boat ride turns into a horrible nightmare. Come to think of it, the boat ride was already super creepy.
2. Sweet Dreams (are made of these), Smells Like Children, 1995.
Oh dear, who ever thought the new wave 80s Eurythmics hit could turn into a modern goth anthem? Only Manson knew better. Here´s one of our personal favorites featuring ghouly makeup, Manson in drag and an overgrown cute pig.
3. The Beautiful People, Antichrist Superstar, 1996.
There´s nothing beautiful about this video, and that´s the greatest thing about it. What seems like a silent protest to cosmetic surgery obsessed Hollywood and Christianity has become one of Manson´s best videos of all time.
4. Disposable Teens, Holywood, 2000.
"A rebel from the waist down."
These lyrics did lift some eyebrows back in the days. The opening sequence of this videos features an in incredibly tall Manson emerging from a black lagoon and powerful esoteric imagery.
5. The Nobodies, Holywood, 2000.
Based loosely on The City Of Lost Children (or so they say) this is one that tots might find incredibly scary.
6. mOBSCENE, The Golden Age Of Grostesque, 2003.
Think a 30s Burlesque inspired video isn´t scary? Think again.
7. Putting Holes In Happiness, EAT ME, DRINK ME, 2007
Inspired by the imagery from Fritz Lang´s "M", the video also explores the everlasting subject of vampirism that we all love, but kiddies beware...

I Want To Go Among Mad People...
WARNING: In this next part Manson makes an imaginary encounter with an Alice/Lolita- inspired girl inside Wonderland and is cleverly disguised as The White Rabbit, for in the previous chapter we sketched out that he could have been the rabbit after all...
Until now our fallen idol has realized that he´s just a rabbit, a helpless creature living in a cage, being watched and enjoyed by millions and millions of people around the world. A singing bird who has no wings to fly. A shadow, a servant of the Queen Of Hearts. "Faster, faster, I´m late, I´m late..." What are you really afraid of White Rabbit, being slain or becoming a slayer, well?
Alice was just on her way to the tea party, you see , but it took her quite a while to come to such a conclusion.
Obviously she landed on the right place; being here seems doubtful, huh?
In the video version of the song "Heart-Shaped Glasses" a young Evan Rachel Wood appears portraying the character of Dolores Haze, better known as Lolita, also a novel by Russian author Vladimir Nabokov. In it, Dolores is described by his stepfather Humbert Humbert as a "nymphet" (from the term nymph) a child between the age of nine and fourteen, more likely at puberty or early developed.
There is no apparent relation between Alice and Lolita, yet if one is quite a good observer, the little girl in the blue dress was sort of precocious.
"little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes, that blue is getting me high, making me low."
We may not be in a tea party, but for sure we´re among mad people.
Mr. Lewis Carroll imagined these next episodes with the March Hare, the Mad Hatter and the Dormouse, but Mr. Disney introduced the White Rabbit as a new guest. And the frisky cottontail didn´t come here exactly for tea. He claimed he was always late, but now he´s just in time to meet this demon of a girl, this Alice/Lolita steps into the room with heart-shaped glasses and all...
Pay closer attention in the scene from the Disney movie where Alice jumps excited to see The White Rabbit again:
" She reminds me of
the one in school
when I was cutting
she was dressed in white
and I couldn't take my eyes off her
but that's not what I took off that night."
For she (Alice) appears as the ideal Queen of Hearts, the one who dabbles in the realms of the mind and has mastered the art of being desired. The White Rabbit feels shocked, and at the same time wrapped up with a familiar feeling, one that remained dormant.
" And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.
Don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses."
A promise is made, a ritual to renew the passion and the love which were swiped from his hands. However, Mr. Rabbit doesn´t mind being victimized every now and then.
The part, "keeping me on pins and needles" could be a loose reference to voodoo dolls, where we can stick pins anywhere we want, except for the heart. This last part reminded me of a song from some time ago, "Tourniquet", from Antichrist Superstar.
The pact that night was sealed with a kiss. The White Rabbit´s heart eventually would heal, but it would never forget.
See how in this scene blood plays an important role.
Once the deal is done, a promise is made:
With a lucky rabbit´s foot we´re on our way to pay a visit to the Queen, or perhaps behead her?
Notice how Evan plays with a butcher knife and compare it to American Mc Gee´s Alice. Curiously, Manson was involved in the creative process of the videogame. Another similarity is shown in the poster art of Stanley Kubrick´s Lolita.
Watch the full video for "Heart-Shaped Glasses" here, (but if you´re naughty I recommend you hunt for the uncensored version).
Let us end this golden afternoon with these clever words:
"Together as one against all others"...(Running To The Edge Of The World, 2009)

What are you really afraid of White Rabbit, being slain or becoming a slayer, well?
Alice was just on her way to the tea party, you see , but it took her quite a while to come to such a conclusion.
`Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. `Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on. `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
`I don't much care where--' said Alice.
`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
Obviously she landed on the right place; being here seems doubtful, huh?

The Antichrist Superstar Official Video: The Controversy Continues.
Earlier we joked about 6/19, or June 19th. What happened? Did the World end, the Apocalypse rising?
Nope, just a video, a rare Marilyn Manson production of the song "Antichrist Superstar" directed E. Elias Merhige and produced by Henry S. Rosenthal, circa 08/17/1996.
But who are these people anyway?
Merhige is best known to mainstream audiences for the 2000 film Shadow of the Vampire, and to underground audiences for the cult-classic 1991 film Begotten.
He´s also credited for directing "Cryptorchid", which cinematography is similar to that of "Antichrist Superstar".
"Cryptorchid" was included as a bonus material to the DVD release of Lest We Forget back in 2004.
Henry S. Rosenthal has produced a great deal of horror films as well.
The few commercial videos that were made for the album "Antichrist Superstar" were:
- The Beautiful People, directed by Floria Sigismondi.
- Tourniquet, also directed by Floria Sigismondi
- Man That You Fear, directed by Wiz.
All of these were highly ambitious productions, which later on was nominated for important awards, in the case of The Beautiful People.
The question is: why did Cryptorchid and Antichrist Superstar get shelved? Are these videos connected in some way other than their aesthetic?
Some "authorities" advised us not to discuss too much about this leaked forgotten production, but we´ll go ahead and build the excitement.
ACSS was entirely filmed in black and white. It is also reminiscent of "Cryptorchid" and contains footage from Merhige´s film "Begotten":
THE CONTROVERSY
Forget about what´s in the "Antichrist Superstar" video, it´s the fact whether you should legally watch it or not.
Rumor: "Accidentally" it was posted on marilynmanson.com around June 19th 2010 and some hours later it was mysteriously removed. By that time, it was already popping up on several websites, even on You Tube.
Accidents Can Happen, Only To Marilyn Manson?
During the promotion of Year Zero, one of the latest Nine Inch Nails albums used clever strategies to make some buzz:
So you decide, was the "Antichrist Superstar" video ´leak´ planned by MM himself? If that´s the case then you´re free to go, but if it´s not, then we will gladly remove all the links the video...

ACSS was entirely filmed in black and white. It is also reminiscent of "Cryptorchid" and contains footage from Merhige´s film "Begotten":
An excerpt from an interview made for Mansonusa.com "Dramatic New Scenes For Celebritarian Needs", November 3rd 2005:
Q: The Internet Movie Database lists "Anti-Christ Superstar" as part of your filmography. A few names are associated with this film other than your own. E. Elias Merhige is cited as the director; Roger Michael Mayer as the Torchbearer; and Texas Terri as the Angel of Death. What was the concept or story behind this video and did anything ever transpire from the project? Why was it never released?And there you have it, this material apparently was rejected by Manson´s label at the time, Interscope Records and now that the band claims to have more artistic freedom it makes sense to drop these ´bombs´.
MM: Elias was someone I had contacted. I talked to him the day after I saw his film Begotten, which is one of the strangest and scariest films I’ve seen and I wanted him to do a video for cryptorchid and I came to Los Angeles and I did that.
He also wanted to film a video for Antichrist Superstar; but he wanted to use a lot of footage that he had already compiled, so he shot the material with me. Then he put it together with some other stuff.
He used a lot of military footage from different countries, different wars, that really went for the fascist aspect of the song and I wasn’t quite sure that it represented the criticism that it needed to, but it wasn’t ultimately my opinion that mattered because the record company was appalled by it. That’s not to say it won’t be seen, but I’m not sure if he ever had a fair chance of finishing it because of the record company. I was very pleased with cryptorchid because it’s a beautiful song and I wanted to see his imagery involved in it.
THE CONTROVERSY
Forget about what´s in the "Antichrist Superstar" video, it´s the fact whether you should legally watch it or not.
Rumor: "Accidentally" it was posted on marilynmanson.com around June 19th 2010 and some hours later it was mysteriously removed. By that time, it was already popping up on several websites, even on You Tube.
Accidents Can Happen, Only To Marilyn Manson?
During the promotion of Year Zero, one of the latest Nine Inch Nails albums used clever strategies to make some buzz:
An entire campaign based on the ARG concept was built around the album's story and fans were bombarded in multiple ways; the world of online was used in a massive way, when the band began to 'leak' songs via USB cards left in bathrooms at their shows in Europe. Clues were printed on t-shirts, messages began to pop up online and a frenzy was created before the album was even released. (Source: http://www.squidoo.com/trentreznor )And what about the latest craze built around the new iPhone G4 "lost" prototype conducted by the Gizmodo Team? Another accident? Nope, an intentional premature ´leak´, which could probably affect Apple´s sales greatly.
So you decide, was the "Antichrist Superstar" video ´leak´ planned by MM himself? If that´s the case then you´re free to go, but if it´s not, then we will gladly remove all the links the video...

"Antichrist Superstar" Video Unveiled
Ah, this is a rarity, told you 6/19 would bring good luck.
Anyway, this is an exclusive Marilyn Manson video you´re not supposed to watch. It´s "Antichrist Superstar" made back in 1996. It has never been released in any media, however rumor has it the video was downloaded from the official website http://www.marilynmanson.com/. Sadly, you can´t see it there or on You Tube...
The good news is a friend of mine uploaded so you can enjoy in the comfort of your own computer.
Don´t want to give out any spoilers but its visual technique is reminiscent of "Cryptorchid", which looks more like a highly surreal short film, probably influenced by Luis Buñuel.
You can download "Antichrist Superstar" using this link:
It lasts about 5:42. It does contain some footage later used in this other video...
As far as we´re concerned this (Antichrist Superstar) could be a teaser or viral video to anticipate the release of the new album, or probably a DVD or Blu-ray compilation, just like in Lest We Forget.

The High End of Low One Year Later...
2009, the sound of it still gives the chills. Indeed it was an incredibly disastrous year for most of us because it represented on a personal level and specially to Manson one simple word: Loss.
Did you realize how many times The High End of Low used the words "death" and "loss"? You´d be surprised, enough to make you think that finally everything that made the music and the art of Manson had fallen into a void, a bottomless pit. And because of this a mysterious aura might have infected many of you fans with gruesome thoughts, and yes, Death became even scarier than the Devil.
So let´s start off by analyzing in this blog with one of The High End of Low´s "fatal attractions"; "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon":
Death is also about decadence, something that ends and siezes to inspire. Manson has taken influences from many decadent art movements, like the era of Weimar Berlin and reprised with amazing results in "The Golden Age of Grotesque". Coincidentally in the music video of "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" some girls with picket signs have a Blackface very similar to the one Manson wore in 2003.
"fuck, eat, kill, now do it again, it's arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon, fuck, eat, kill, etc."
The song has very subtle implications that women and men literally devour each other as if they were some sort of black widow. The song "Wight Spider" seems to be more specific. Compared to the analogies to vampirism in "Eat Me, Drink Me" we see yet another level of consumption, whether it´s psychological, physical and emotional.
There is an urban term called psychic vampires which refers in general to the emotional drain of of a victim.
"i wish i was still dead, but the tv said, it´s just a "tropical depression."
IN HIS OWN WORDS:
In reference to being asked about the song title , "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon":
THE VIDEO
Many of the visual aspects for the video of "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" are inspired by the movies of Jodorowksy. Two of them are "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain".
Other aspects are basically ideas like the use of the podium, commonly seen among Manson´s stage props since "Antichrist Superstar". This time the "shock " logo was replaced with the dollar sign, and in other promotional media a version of two crossed dollar signs emulated a swastika or triskele.
The drums played in the video resemble the iones used during "The Golden Age of Grotesque" era, as well as the girls in U.S. flag patterned bikins complete with Blackface. This turns out to be more of a parody or mockery of Manson´s previous eras.
WATCH "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon":
The High End of Low has to be one of the most lyrically complex albums from Marilyn Manson´s productions so far. Because Death and decadence, loss and loneliness have many interpretations, so does this record. Enjoy the video!
"everyone will come, everyone will come, to my funeral to make sure that I stay dead"(Four Rusted Horses,2010)
Did you realize how many times The High End of Low used the words "death" and "loss"?

So let´s start off by analyzing in this blog with one of The High End of Low´s "fatal attractions"; "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon":
"death to the ladies first, then the gentlemen all sorts of tax-free-face-lift-abortions-nervous-breakdance
satanic girls gone wild, truly fucking suicidal."
Death is also about decadence, something that ends and siezes to inspire. Manson has taken influences from many decadent art movements, like the era of Weimar Berlin and reprised with amazing results in "The Golden Age of Grotesque". Coincidentally in the music video of "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" some girls with picket signs have a Blackface very similar to the one Manson wore in 2003.

There is an urban term called psychic vampires which refers in general to the emotional drain of of a victim.
"i wish i was still dead, but the tv said, it´s just a "tropical depression."
A pun is used to define depression, a popular resource in many of Manson´s songs. It´s been known also that the rain does have a certain effect of bringing people down or getting "the blues".
"is it the news? or is it the noose?, results may vary, side effects are very, arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon"Manson´s decadence extends to the influence of the media, a subject he covered a while later on the interview made by Michael Moore:
"Because that's not the way the media wants to take it and spin it and turn it in to fear. Because then you're watching television, you're watching the news, you're being pumped full of fear."(MM, Bowling for Columbine, 2002)
IN HIS OWN WORDS:
In reference to being asked about the song title , "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon":
"Oh, I think it is completely unshocking and completely intentionally redundant and that was the whole point of it. I really go out of my way to make that fit into the record. In the context of the record, it refers to something I said that day going to the studio. It was my commentary on how shameless and hopeless and uninteresting things are now. When you have to put ‘goddamn’ and ‘motherfucking’ into a title that already has ‘Armageddon’ in it... you know! I was just making a point. Anyway, I didn’t write it - the Bible wrote it - I just added a couple of new words to it..."(Interview for The Stool Pigeon Music Newspaper, 06/2009)
THE VIDEO
Many of the visual aspects for the video of "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" are inspired by the movies of Jodorowksy. Two of them are "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain".
Other aspects are basically ideas like the use of the podium, commonly seen among Manson´s stage props since "Antichrist Superstar". This time the "shock " logo was replaced with the dollar sign, and in other promotional media a version of two crossed dollar signs emulated a swastika or triskele.
The drums played in the video resemble the iones used during "The Golden Age of Grotesque" era, as well as the girls in U.S. flag patterned bikins complete with Blackface. This turns out to be more of a parody or mockery of Manson´s previous eras.
According to legend,
Manson also claimed that the song was inspired by an instance where he was driving to the studio and witnessed a 'ruckus' with the police, and that it has a very intentional "Adam Ant/Gary Glitter throwback vibe." (Noisecreep. May 20, 2010)
WATCH "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon":
The High End of Low has to be one of the most lyrically complex albums from Marilyn Manson´s productions so far. Because Death and decadence, loss and loneliness have many interpretations, so does this record. Enjoy the video!

A Visual Deconstruction Of "The Dope Show"
And who doesn 't remember Marilyn Manson's most androgynous era back when Mechanical Animals came out?
Yes, it was mind-boggling and it really brought back that ultra glam Bowie-esque vibe. The look in Mechanical Animals went quite well with the times due that we were almost at the end of the millenium, but it's no secret either that most of Marilyn Manson's albums have always had an apocalyptic feel, never to be taken literally though.
On this ocassion we make a visual analysis of the first single and video, "The Dope Show"; why? For many reasons, one of them because it was really fun to watch.
So let's start off with one of the first scenes in which Manson lands on 'Earth' as a white androgynous white alien, Omega which is captured and taken into a building that's kind of familiar. Now you might think that it was the Power Rangers base...um, no, the truth is that this building is known as the Brandeis Bardin Institute located in Simi Valley, California. It´s now the Brandeis-Bardin Campus of American Jewish University, a Jewish retreat. It is known for its nondenominational summer programs for children, teens and young adults.
They say that many inspiration for this video was taken from David Bowie's 1976 film named "The Man Who Fell To Earth", a British science fiction film directed by Nicolas Roeg, based on the 1963 novel of the same name by Walter Tevis, about an extraterrestrial who crash lands on Earth seeking a way to ship water to his planet, which is suffering from a severe drought.
As you can see in this scene Manson is taken studied to be studied, and you can clearly see his ambiguous fisonomy. This reminds us of another one of the scenes from the "The Man Who Fell To Earth".
Another aspect that caught our attention was the use of these futuristic sculptures or devices around Manson's body, both of which are supposed to have a function. The first one is these series of red plugs which mimic wiring and circuits. The piece was actually known as "Overflowing Blood Machine" by Rebecca Horn, a German installation artist most famous for her body modifications such as Einhorn (Unicorn), a body-suit with a very large horn projecting vertically from the headpiece, and Pencil Mask, a mesh harness for the head with many pencils projecting out. In May-August, 2005 the Hayward Gallery in London held a Rebecca Horn retrospective.
"Overflowing Blood Machine" was a visual performance, orginally with a male strapped to a series of red tubes, simulating his circulation system and reducing him to nothing but a machine which keeps pumping blood. This is not the first time Manson has used this resource. In the cover art for "Antichrist Superstar" a similar series of tubes were tied to his genitals.
Starting from the song title, "The Dope Show" mocks many of the aspects that make Hollywood so decadent. In the limo sequence where Omega is to be transformed into a rockstar he meets a producer briefly played by Billy Zane, who was worked with Manson several times. Part of the tabloid magazines he's holding resemble the National Enquirer and Spin. This last part could be about an incident which took place back in November 1998, where Spin editor Craig Marks was assaulted by Manson's bodyguards. Ironically, the video was shot in August of the same year...
Next, another interesting Rebecca Horn's sculpture dubbed "Cornucopia" which a molded plastic device set in place with a strap on the forehead that simulates a self-nurturing effect. The piece was conceived back in 1970; the one Omega wears is a more modernized version.

Among the real-life locations that were used in the shooting of "The Dope Show" is the Municipal Traffic Court Building, located in Downtown Los Angeles, with a style known as Brutalist architecture. This was shown in the Omega and the Mechanical Animals ficticious performance, shot while the band was placed on top of the trailer of an 18-wheeler transport truck.
Many of the costumes were conceived by Manson along with designer Terri King, who has worked for several artists like Ozzy Osbourne and Iggy Pop. She also designed the transparent feathered suit seen on the "Rock Is Dead" video.
In another sequence we see Omega smashing his clonesor copies enraged by what he sees. This evokes Alejandro Jodorowsky´s film from 1973 "The Holy Mountain", but in his case he destroys several mannequins of Jesus. This aspect is incredibly symbolic because Manson has made it very clear by saying that a holy figure or an idol has become a figure of massive consumption:
The last sequence features a transvestite dancer commonly known as The Goddess Bunny. It´s actually a boy whose real name is Johnnie Baima. He also appears in some deleted scenes from this video in the VHS edition of "God Is In the TV" where he and the other band members are in the back of the limousine.
So what else can we highlight about "The Dope Show" that hasn´t been said before. The live performance in the 1998 MTV VMA´s included huge signs with keywords like "DOPE SHOW" emphasizing the whole concept about drugs and fame...
These lyrics are similar in nature to "Heart-Shaped Glasses":
As well as "I Have To Look Up Just To See Hell":
One of Pink Floyd´s "The Wall" most famous track, "Comfortably Numb" clearly expresses what it´s like to live in a period where there´s absolutely no pain, but it´s also a of limbo which is similar to the concept behind the ficticious character of Coma White. So once again "The Dope Show" symbolizes a futuristic world deprived of feelings, emotions and replaced by artificial thrills.
This, in the end turns out to be a timeless phenomenon covered in the past centuries with the rising of art movements such as Expressionism, and Futurism. It also reminds us very much of the Fritz Lang movie "Metropolis" in which the female character Maria is replaced with a sinister robotic version of her.
So please enjoy watching this visually stunning video directed by Paul Hunter. Have a great weekend!

"there´s lots of pretty, pretty ones that wanna get you high, but all the pretty, pretty ones will leave you low and blow your mind..."

"that blue is getting me high, making me low..."
As well as "I Have To Look Up Just To See Hell":
"...we reached the high end of low..."and most recently with the title of the painting "Everyone Has A Blue Period"; a possible analogy for "the low" or deep sadness, depression or a state of calmness or feeling numb.

Video Interview From MySpace Greece...
Just uploaded today, but the interview is actually from Marilyn Manson´s HELL, ETC. exhibit from April 2010.
Among some of the artistic influences he mentioned Expressionism. In earlier blogs this subject was already covered, yet it remains constant in Manson´s watercolors.
Enjoy!
