Gorilla suits are full-bodied costumes resembling gorillas. Gorilla suits have been used both to represent real gorillas in film and on stage, and also as a source of humour. The gorilla suit is a popular Halloween and costume party costume.
In 1869, Noah Brooks' short story, "Mr. Columbus Coriander's Gorilla" appeared in Bret Harte's "Overland Monthly Magazine." The story concerned a young man employed at a menagerie dressed in a gorilla suit. It is mistakenly credited to Max Adeler.
In film, gorillas are often portrayed by actors in gorilla suits. The 1918 silent film Tarzan of the Apes has the first known instance of an ape suit, worn by an uncredited actor. The early history of the art of gorilla impersonation saw the rise of Charles Gemora in the late 1920s, an early practitioner of the art in such short films as Circus Lady and the Our Gang entry Bear Shooters. Gemora's original gorilla suit was hand-made and stuffed with kapok. In later decades, in addition to abounding in the Ape Woman films (consisting of Captive Wild Woman, Jungle Woman, and The Jungle Captive) and B movies such as Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla.
I have, I have spoken
Enjoy the black demise
Betray, you betrayers
Taste life blood from your own kind
Ignite waiting darkness
What you fear comes alive
Dry lips, chant damnation
Driving man to self destruction
No one can save you now
Behold the black demise
Cursed gods have forsaken
The lands of ruined mankind
Invades human nature
This lost and perfect rapture
Evil domination
Driving man to self destruction
Enjoy the black demise!!!
Taste life blood from your own side
Feel your flesh burning inside
Darkness blinds your perception
Driving man to self destruction
