Born in the late 1970s in New Jersey, the Misfits became the undisputed pioneers of horror punk — that explosive fusion of punk rock, B-movie imagery, and raw, visceral energy. Founded by Glenn Danzig, the band quickly stood out with its macabre visual universe, led by the iconic Crimson Ghost skull logo and punchy anthems like Last Caress, Die, Die My Darling, and Halloween.

The Misfits didn’t just shape a generation with their aggressive sound and furious live shows — they also left a lasting mark on the aesthetics of punk and metal, with a powerful visual identity, a love for horror culture, and a unique DIY mythology. Despite numerous internal conflicts and lineup changes, the band has retained its cult status, strengthened by later reformations and Jerry Only’s enduring presence.
