What is believed to be a screenshot from Groupie, taken from Marilyn Manson's Dead to the World.
Status: Partially lost
Shot one night between 1996 and 1998 was a short film by Marilyn Manson (in his first filmmaking effort) titled Groupie. The short was recorded at an actual house party that Manson was hosting and involved a stooge actress portraying a young groupie being made to do more and more perverse and disturbing things in front of Manson's unknowing guests (who were only told that a woman would be arriving and that he would be filming her).
The film begins with Manson sucking bandmate Jeordie 'Twiggy' White's flaccid penis through a condom, before the groupie arrives at the door shortly thereafter (brandishing a piece of artwork as a gift); she is then invited inside, where things become progressively more disturbing.
They make her do increasingly perverse things from drinking Stephen Bier's (also of Manson's Band) urine, which she does, but only after convincing Manson to also drink it. The rest of the details are relatively unknown, although she is tied up at one point, and bloodshed and a gun are supposedly involved. The guests at the party were said to have been made uncomfortable by the incident, as they didn't know if it had genuinely happened, or had been previously planned.
Manson's manager Tony Ciulla, after seeing the film, urged him to hide the master tapes, for fear that Manson would ruin his career, and possibly go to jail. The film has never been released, although a few short segments of it appeared at the end of Manson's video-album Dead to the World. The segment shows a tied up woman in a chair, with Manson offscreen. He then intimidates her into repeating the phrase "Jesus loves me because the Bible tells me so". There is currently no other footage of the short film available to the public.
