SLIPKNOT's CLOWN Cautions Trick-Or-Treaters

October 27, 2006

According to AOL Music, SLIPKNOT percussionist M. Shawn Crahan recently gave the following piece of advice to fans who are planning on dressing up as a member of the masked metal band for Halloween:

"If you're gonna go as us, be careful," he told AOL Music. "We can be a hard pill to swallow. If you're wearing something that's SLIPKNOT and you go to a house, you're gonna get a different reaction than if you're going as Bela Lugosi. We deal with reality a little bit more than Bela Lugosi does, or a werewolf or some mummy character."

Clown himself is partial to liquid latex, which he uses to create a face that looks like it's been blown up. There's a practical inspiration for the costume, he said: "I used to weld for SLIPKNOT."

SLIPKNOT's new DVD, "Voliminal: Inside the Nine", is scheduled for release on December 5 via Roadrunner. The special double disc package takes the viewer on a several-hour journey into the world of SLIPKNOT as the band recently circled the globe in support of the multi-platinum album "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)". Far from your usual tour film, "Voliminal: Inside the Nine" is more of an art piece — while fans are taken in the studio, on stage, backstage, on their tour bus and everywhere in between as they experience the energy of a band literally living, breathing and fighting for the music they created, none of it unfolds in ways you'd expect.
