Wednesday 13

Joseph Poole, better known as Wednesday 13 (born August 12, 1976) is a musician, and currently resides in Landis, North Carolina with his wife and daughter. Poole is a huge fan of horror movies and dark TV shows such as The Munsters and The Addams Family, which influence his works greatly. He is currently working on a cartoon/comic called the Thirteen Dead Kids, which is set for a late 2005 release.

Musical Career

His musical career began in 1992, as he formed the band Maniac Spider Trash, alongside Abby Normal, Michael Patrick and Sicko Zero. From 1992 to 1996, he was the frontman for MST, but they never reached much success. The band only released one EP, and was disbanded when Poole formed the Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13.
