“I like zombie movies. I like 'The Walking Dead;' I like the metaphor of it, simply because when we go with the zombie concept - if you're bitten by a zombie, you don't transform into something else like a vampire or a werewolf or whatever. You become something that's not you.”

American rock musician and singer, founded a band in 1989

Marilyn Manson is the stage name of Brian Hugh Warner, an American rock musician and singer. He is the lead singer and the only original member still in the band that bears his name, which he founded in 1989. He is known for fronting Marilyn Manson, a band whose name was built from the first name of Marilyn Monroe and the last name of Charles Manson. His public identity is closely tied to that project, rather than to a separate body of work.
