Manson and Lindsay have both said that Wild at Heart (1990) is their favorite Lynch film and favorite romance film, to the point where their wedding theme in 2020 was inspired by Wild at Heart, and they even invited Nicolas Cage, the star of the film, to attend, which he did via a video call. Also, a quote from the film spoken by Crispin Glover can be heard in the song "Lunchbox", when you hear: "I'm making my lunch!"
Manson's first film appearance was as a snuff film pornstar along with bandmate Twiggy Ramirez in Lynch's film Lost Highway (1997), to which he also contributed two songs, "I Put A Spell On You" and "Apple of Sodom", the latter of which was written specifically for the film.
Among other films of Lynch that inspired Manson's music, imagery and performance are Twin Peaks, in the song "Wrapped in Plastic", and Blue Velvet in Manson's onstage performance of "Sweet Dreams" as well as his smeared lipstick look and use of an oxygen tank in his performance.
Since Lynch and Manson met during the production of Lost Highway, Lynch has written an introduction to Manson's autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell (1998) where he mentions how Manson reminded him of Elvis, and the two have collaborated on both an art show and a coffee table book titled Genealogies of Pain (2010).
