Demystifying the Devil, An Unauthorized Biography on Marilyn Manson is a documentary flashing all the way back to the incarnation of Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. The documentary features shocking first hand testimonials of the people who were closest to Marilyn Manson, a.k.a. Brian Warner, as well as outrageous home video that depicts the Mansons in ways never seen before.The concept behind Demystifying the Devil was developed by director, Chris Nicholas, a former member of Atlantic Recording Artist Collapsing Lungs and a long-time friend of Brian Warner. Inspired by Mr. Manson's autobiography, The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, Nicholas and Executive Producer, Will Raee, thought that much of its content would make an interesting documentary. Nicholas rounded up Mr. Manson's most critical counterparts from the Spooky Kids era and beyond along with their own testimonies, exclusive photos, home video footage and memorabilia to create one of the most unforgettable rock videos you will ever own!
Editor's Note
A documentary mostly about Manson's early years, DEMYSTIFYING nonetheless contains all the ingredients that you'd expect from a Manson video: bizarre antics, stomach churning weirdness, and a large dose of humor. Comprised mainly of footage shot by the band during the early years on tour and interviews with people who knew Manson "way back when," such as long time girlfriend Missy, DEMYSTIFYING tries to paint a picture of how Manson got to where he is today. As interesting as most of these interviews are, the most entertaining parts of the video are definitely the old footage of the band's offstage behavior on early tours. Alternately disgusting and hilarious, no Manson fan should pass this up, if only for the sequence where the band runs amok in Disneyland.

No matter your feelings on Marilyn Manson, you have to give Brian Warner (aka Manson) his due as a cunning student of human nature, trends, and marketing. Not as a musician, mind you, but as a parking lot huckster, he does it better than most. With a combination of serial murder chic, sexual confusion and simplistic tribal drum patterns, he has managed to push his 15 minutes of fame right up to the brink...The movie shows a rather balanced view of the early days of Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, Mrs. Scrabtree, Jack Off Jill, and other hallmarks of musical talent, and it's interesting to watch Warner kick damn near everybody out of his band. The feeling you leave with is that he's a spoiled, childish brat, who takes far too much pleasure in hurting other people. People, I imagine, who wouldn't be caught dead around him without a paycheck. - James Mann
