What is Horror Punk?

Well by definition,Horror punk is a music genre

that was defined by the band The Misfits,

blending horror movie lyrical themes and imagery

with musical influences from early punk rock, doo-

wop, and, to a lesser degree, rockabilly.


Horror punk bands usually tell tales through

their lyrics, which are often related to horror

films, black humor, and horror stories or novels.

Horror punk has traditionally used, amongst other

horror influence, the aesthetics and themes of

zombie films. Some bands base their whole genre

on zombies, taking up the names zombiecore,

horror punk/rock, deathrock, or monster rock. The

horror punk genre has a thriving underground

following, with websites and concert festivals,

such as the Fiend Fest. The fan base has been

tied to the resurgence of the closely-related

genres, psychobilly and deathrock. This has been

coupled with the resurgence of other closely

related forms of music psychobilly and deathrock.

In the 2000s, the genre has seen some mainstream

success, with the bands Murderdolls, and

DieMonsterDie.
