20 Things Only Marilyn Manson Fans Will Understand

19. ...But He Can Be

If you're still having Marilyn Manson nightmares though, we get it. To outsiders, he's been known to make some pretty creepy music videos, and no, not just "The Beautiful People" or "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)." Other videos, far more recently. Remember 2003's "(S)AINT" clip, where he cuts himself, engages in sex with then-wife burlesque star Dita Von Teese, and snorts plenty of cocaine? As risqué as it was, there's another version floating around that's even more explicit. Then there's 2012's "Slo-Mo-Tion" clip that came with the big warning plastered on it in the beginning, and the amazing "No Reflection" video where he conjured some spells and drowned a few girls. Manson's still kooky when the cameras are off. In a pinch to escape the paparazzi, he would drop smoke bombs, and he totally confused photographers when he scrawled a pretty mean message (hint, it had the F-word in it) all over his face while brandishing the middle finger. Oh yeah, and there's that blunt knife microphone holder too.
