Once Upon A Time‘s soul-stealing shadow is getting a voice, and it’s going to be Marilyn Manson’s.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the famous rocker will guest-star this season of Once Upon A Time; though he will not be seen, but only heard. His new character called The Shadow has already made a few appearances, both in seasons 2 and 3, but will only now be able to speak.

Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, executive producers of the show, both declared themselves as “enormous fans” of the singer and chose him because “[they] wanted to cast someone with the vocal ability to make our skin crawl”.

Manson – better yet, his voice – will make a debut on episode 8, which will air mid-November.
