Marilyn Manson announced this week that production has begun on Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, a Manson penned and directed horror film starring the antichrist superstar as the tormented author of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.”

Manson tweeted:

Happy that my PHANTASMAGORIA screenplay, with me portraying Lewis Carroll, is in production. His diaries inspired the best horror film ever.

Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll has been gestating since 2010 when Manson girls Evan Rachel Wood (“True Blood”) and Dita Von Teese were attached to costar. The film finds Carroll in an isolated castle haunted by visions of a girl named Alice.
