"'''Thingmaker'''" is the fourth track on the 1992 release ''[[The Family Jams]]''. The song was inspired by a man referred to in ''[[The Long Hard Road Out of Hell]]'' as Carl, who intentionally looked and acted like [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]], used the image of a gnarled, twisted tree that Manson had created in a poster for another local band; and how Manson was sick of his stealing from him. Manson's then-girlfriend, referred to as Teresa, was also implied to have been having an affair with Carl.

[[Category:Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids Songs]]
* The name of this song comes from a '60s/'70s toy line from Mattel where "creepy" figurines could be made using pre-existing molds. Another clue to this meaning comes from ''[[The Family Jams]]'' demo which dedicates the song to "the creeple people" (Creeple Peeple) — one of the names for the completed figurines.
