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 at the house party, before the groupie shortly thereafter arrives at the door (brandishing a piece of artwork as a gift); she is then invited inside, where things become progressively more disturbing. She is encouraged to drink Stephen 'Madonna Wayne Gacy' Bier's urine from a wine glass (Bier also being a member of Manson's band), which she eventually does, but only after convincing Manson to also partake. The contents of the remainder of the short have not been made entirely clear, although it is known that the groupie is at one point tied up, a gun is introduced into the situation by Manson, a fight breaks out and blood is shed. Many of the party's guests are said to have come away from the experience very shaken up, not knowing whether or not what had happened was legitimate, or staged (though it has been suggested that the film consists of both legitimate and staged events and that the actress portraying the groupie, while somewhat in the know, may not have been given all of the details of the event prior to it's occurrence).
Only three people are confirmed as having seen the short; Manson himself, Andy Dick (comedian friend of Manson's) and Manson's manager, Tony Ciulla, the latter of whom, after viewing the film, implored Manson to hide the masters, believing that if it were to be released, Manson would likely go to jail and/or end his career. Manson obliged for the most part, only releasing a very small portion of the film, seen at the end of his 1998 live video album Dead to the World. The segment, which shows a tied up, distressed woman (with her face out of frame) reciting the phrase "Jesus loves me because the Bible tells me so." at Manson's command. Besides this single fragment of footage, a tight seal has been kept on Groupie and it is unlikely that it will ever see any form of release in its entirety.
