(Metal Hammer) Marilyn Read more asked for a goat to be delivered to the set of TV show Salem - which he later painted because he wanted a black one. The shock rocker plays the role of creepy barber/surgeon Thomas Dinley in season three of the hit TV show, which premieres on WGN America this week.
And during his downtime on the set in Shreveport, Louisiana, Manson says he became obsessed with a black goat he saw in recent movie The Witch. He asked Salem bosses for his own black goat - and he took action when they delivered a red goat instead.
Manson tells Rolling Stone: "I'd seen that movie The Witch about a week into working on Salem, because I'd missed it in the theatres. And the goat in the movie, Black Phillip, became an obsession of mine.
"So on the last day of the shoot, I requested a black goat to play with, just off set, just for my own recreational purposes. But they brought a red goat, so I sang quite simply. 'I see a red goat, and I want to paint it black.' And everyone really got a kick out of it.
"And I did - they did let me paint it black. It was ornery." Read more here.
