This one was in the “vault” for a reason.

Last year, horror master Eli Roth told Larry King that he had shot a video with Marilyn Manson and Lana Del Rey but “the footage is so sick it’s been locked in a vault for over a year.”

That footage has surfaced (via Teco Apple) and Roth wasn’t exaggerating: the clip includes a scene that depicts the director raping Del Rey (along with shots of a disturbing dinner party and Manson taking aim at passers-by with an assault rifle).

Suffice to say, it’s pretty vile, though more tasteless, childish and deeply out of touch than it is sinister. No one comes out of this well, Del Rey (who has flirted with the links between sex and violence in her past videos, but never to this extent) included.

Update: The video has been removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim, and a rep of Manson’s has denied involvement, claiming that a fan had most likely “splic[ed] up old Manson video footage with someone else’s Lana Del Rey footage.”

Warning: Contains graphic scenes depicting sexual assault.
