Welcome to the all new Spookykids.net!
Well, it's not really new seeing as how the Spooky Kids haven't been around for over ten years now. Or seeing as how we've been working on this for almost two years but haven't had anything posted except a splash page. But now we're making an effort to get this page off the ground, so pardon our (angel)dust while work is in progress.
My name is huntermc, and I have been a Manson fan on the internet since 1995. Back in the early days, there were several crudely-designed web pages (much like this one!) devoted to this great new band called Marilyn Manson. The band had its roots in the Florida club circuit when they were known as The Spooky Kids. Not much was know about the early days at first, but over the years the information has slowly come to light. Unfortunately, many of the old web pages have fallen into oblivion and the old information became harder to come by.
While I was searching for the old Spookykids.com, I found that it had been taken over by domain hijackers and filled with advertising garbage. Spookykids.net was still available, so I registered it and started to compile all the information I could find on the internet. Along the way, I met another hardcore fan called Atrac, who managed to hunt down several old flyer & demo tapes and make contact with Daisy, Gidget, and Oliva Newton-Bundy and find out some valuable information from them.
So here we are now, hope you enjoy the ride!

July 19: Doing more updates to the Flyers pages. Added some old ones to the 1990 page from the liner to Lunchboxes & Choklit Cows. Also found a treasure trove of high quality flyers at Kobe Watkins' page, and I'm working on incorporating them in with the other flyers, now updated through 1991. Also added a wallpaper to the download page.

I edited the genitals out of a few of them, because I don't want some kids accidentally wandering to the front page and finding a picture of a demon with a giant erection. Demons without erections, however, are perfectly acceptable.
