Horror punk is a music genre that mixes punk rock and 1950s-influenced doo-wop and rockabilly sounds with morbid and violent imagery and lyrics which are often influenced by horror films and science fiction B-movies.

Their use of skull motifs, crimson ghost imagery, and horror movie themes gave birth to a subculture that blurred the line between music and monster fandom.🦇 The 1980s & Samhain: Danzig’s Dark EvolutionAfter The Misfits broke up in 1983, Glenn Danzig went on to form Samhain, a band that took horror punk to even darker places.
