The wait for the end of the world is over in WGN's new trailer for Salem season 3.
An act of terror, in the new trailer for Salem season 3, unveils a miracle of evil, an enemy far darker tha Salem has ever seen. Yes, Goth rock and roller Marilyn Manson has hit town and Cotton Mather, played by Seth Gabel (Arrow, Fringe) is urging everyone to cut their hair.
According to the official synopsis
"The third season of Salem dawns with the triumph of the witches’ plan to remake the New World by bringing the devil to earth and making Salem his capital. But the devil is a liar, and instead of a New World free from murderous Puritan hypocrisy, his own plan will bring nothing but death and slavery with the ultimate aim of leading humanity to destroy itself. And there’s only one person on earth who can beat the devil — the very witch that birthed him, his mother, Mary Sibley. The only problem is—she’s dead. Or is she?"
It's not often we see legendary goth rocker Marilyn Manson without his signature makeup. Still, a toned down Manson can find a way to shivers down our spines. After providing the eerie drumbeat of the Salem theme song, Manson was invited to guest star in Salem season 3 and his character is already creeping us out.
WGN released the first promo clip for Manson's character Thomas Dinley. Watch it here!
