August 3, 1998 The first single from Mechanical Animals, Dope Show, is being played on the radio in some select markets. It's available various places on the Web, too, for those of us who are not lucky enough to live in NYC or LA... Check my message board for more details. Needless to say, I've been listening to it all weekend, and I think it's great.
July 24, 1998 Read all three parts of Allstar News' interview with Zim Zum. We here at the Spookhouse wish him all the best in his future projects!
July 22, 1998 Say goodbye to Zim Zum.. MTV has confirmed their story of July 20th, announcing the departure of Zim Zum from Marilyn Manson. Zimmy has been replaced by Two's John Lowery (now to be called John 5); for more on the story please see MTV News.

July 17, 1998 Marilyn Manson's third album, Mechanical Animals, is currently slated for a September 15th release. For everyone who hasn't heard Manson's cover of David Bowie's "Golden Years", it's available around the net, and on the Dead Man on Campus soundtrack. There's also the Twiggy and Twiggy pairing of "I Only Want To Be With You"... (Of course, both the Dead Man On Campus sountrack and Mechanical Animals will be available for purchase through the link to CDnow at the bottom of this page).

May 7, 1998. The rumor that Marilyn Manson has left Nothing, and signed to TVT is just that: a rumor. There's NO truth to it, or any of its associated stories. Nada. None. Trust me; I know the personages responsible for starting this one... April 25, 1998. Check out the new Antichrist Superstar Marilyn Manson model kit. Over 18" tall fully assembled, and one heavy chunk of resin! When I get mine built and painted I'll get better images up. Until then, at least this will give you an idea of how the winged Antichrist, and his demonic minions from hell (aka the rest of the band..) could look in your house. HarperCollins have been kind enough to provide this excerpt from the book, and this image of the cover. Go to their website for the book to see the latest.
