Metal and horror films go hand in hand, with ROB ZOMBIE‘s comprehensive work in the genre confirming this point, so it should come as no surprise that SLIPKNOT’s Clown aka M Shawn Crahan will make his acting debut in an upcoming thriller movie called, ‘The Devil’s Carnival‘. The film wrapped up shooting a few weeks ago and features Clown and Ogre from the band Skinny Puppy in a ‘theme park-based flick from hell’. Clown had this to say about the movie:

“Hey everybody, what’s up. I am driving back from Denver right now with my children because I have been in California for the last couple weeks and that’s why you have not heard from me at all. Reason being I was invited to partake in my very first acting role. I am very honoured to have been asked to be a part of this project. The project is called “The Devil’s Carnival”. I play a Character called the tamer. And let me tell you, there is a little Tamer in all of us. It’s always been a dream and a goal for me to try and act in something that is filmed besides music videos. I am very honoured to have the opportunity to have worked with so many talented actors and people who are involved in making this production come to life.”
