8 Recent Horror Movie Cameos Everyone Missed

8. Marilyn Manson - The New Mutants

The New Mutants was well-publicized for its numerous delays, from 20th Century Fox-demanded reshoots, to various problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. And though the film itself is relatively safe, one aspect that hasn't been talked much about is the involvement of musician Marilyn Manson.

The infamous rocker actually voiced the Smiley Men, the representation of Illyana Rasputin's abusers from her troubled childhood. Though a different actor played the character on-set, all the voices and sounds from the creature were done by Manson himself.

An interesting BTS anecdote about his involvement with the film, was Manson actually recorded a song for The New Mutants. In 2019, he released a cover of Cry Little Sister which was intended to tie-in with the Marvel movie. But of course, due to the picture's countless delays, the song was released ahead of The New Mutants, and come the final cut, was nowhere to be heard.

Still, it's still a fun piece of trivia to know that the musician's involvement with the movie wasn't completely cut.
