Wednesday 13 biography for kids

Horror aficionado, Murderdoll and conspiracy theorist, Wednesday 13 has many strings to his evil bow. With a decade spanning over two decades in various bands, he has a legion of dedicated followers across the world who worship at the Chapel Of Blood. But what goes on inside the mind of the man who loves nothing more than to scare the bejesus out of norms?

Music

“I first discovered rock music in the soundtracks of movies, but it really kicked in when I discovered Alice Cooper. I had these Alice Cooper cassettes, my parents said he was a devil worshipper and bit the heads off chickens, so at the weekend I hid in my bedroom when my parents had gone to bed, turned off the lights and listened to Alice. It was so terrifying because it was new, it sounded creepy and my parents hated it. Then I was pretty much hooked.

“When I was in sixth grade I was trying to get this girl’s attention, so I lip-synced a Whitesnake song at a talent show. When I went out I was so nervous. Me and my friends were playing cardboard cut-out shapes of guitars, we drew strings on them with a Sharpie. At the end of the song, everyone stood up and cheered and I thought ‘Whoa, if I could do this for the rest of my life it would be awesome’.”
