Dead to the World is the first live video album by American rock band Marilyn Manson, released on February 10, 1998 on VHS, documenting the infamous tour of the same name. It contains primarily live performances but delves into backstage and archival footage of the band.
Notable features are: extensive protests by right-wing Christian groups; spoken relations of meaning and intent by Manson himself; and the brutal, immense theatrics presented by the band in the live setting. Based from Antichrist Superstar, this video features six songs from the album as well as songs from earlier releases Portrait of an American Family and Smells Like Children. Naturally this tour reflected the album it was built upon.
