"'''A Grotesque Evening with Marilyn Manson'''" is a promotional film which documents [[Marilyn Manson]]'s activities during the lead-up to the release of [[The Golden Age of Grotesque]]. It was released exclusively in Spain on DVD and VHS and is now out of print.

== Summary ==
The documentary opens in [[The Golden Age of Grotesque (art exhibition)|Marilyn Manson's first art exhibition]] as we are taken through the paintings on display and Manson talks about his motivations and reasons for creating them, then goes aside to give an interview.

We then cut to [[2003/04/11 Berlin, Germany|a concert in Berlin]] where Manson premiers the music video for "[[mOBSCENE]]" to the audience. After the video's completion, [[Dita Von Teese]] comes out to perform an extended version of the martini routine that she performs in the "mOBSCENE" video. The documentary then cuts away to an interview with Dita before coming back to the concert hall where Manson and two female pianists put on an acoustic show. The show opens with "[[The Dope Show]]", followed by a cover of The Doors's "[[Alabama Song]]" and closes with "[[The Golden Age of Grotesque (song)|The Golden Age of Grotesque]]".

The film then cuts to a club where Manson is throwing a release party in honor of ''[[The Golden Age of Grotesque]]'' and "[[Tainted Love]]" plays in the background as women in blackface and Mickey Mouse ears dance.
The documentary closes with another interview.

 "A Grotesque Evening With Marilyn Manson" is a journey through Marilyn Manson's 
 work as a painter. More than 40 paintings created between 1997 and 2003 using 
 materials like children's paints and watercolor paint used in the 20s 
 to retouch corpses.
 
 "I started doing this for myself and I would paint portraits for my friends 
 as gifts and I'm probably a better painter than a singer, in some people's opinion"
 M. Manson
