20 EYES
  It's possible that the idea behind this song came from the 1965 horror
  movie "The Eye Creature."  A newer theory suggests that the song was 
  influenced by a certain scene in the 1957 horror movie, "The Fly."

  Recorded in 1996, this song was based on the horror movie of the same name.

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE
  Some of the lines from this song may have been influenced by the 1972
  horror movie "The Twins Of Evil."

AMERICAN NIGHTMARE
  This song may have been based on the 1980 movie of the same name.
  Contrary to legend, this song was not written for the Cramps; in fact, 
  there was no Misfits song originally written for the Cramps.  This song
  was recorded in one take by Glenn, Jerry, and Arthur with Jerry nodding
  his head to cue Arthur when to hit the drums.  The hand clapping was
  added later.

AMERICAN PSYCHO
  This song is based on the similarly named book by Brett Easton Ellis.

ARCHANGEL
  According to Jerry Only, this song was never actually recorded.  Glenn
  wrote the song in 1981 for Dave Vanian of The Damned.  Vanian was supposed
  to sing with The Misfits backing him up.  They rehearsed together twice,
  but did not record anything.  In an interview from spring 1982, Glenn
  stated, "It's all recorded except for Dave's part if he gets around to
  doing it.  If not Jerry will do it instead."  A tape of an instrumental
  version of this may exist.

ASTRO ZOMBIES
  This song is based on the 1968 horror movie "The Astro-Zombies."

BEWARE
  Bobby Steele e-mailed the following to the Misfits Bible on August 11, 
  1996: "Actually, this record had no name when we brought the tapes to 
  England in '79.  We kept noticing these signs "BEWARE BOLLARDS" 
  everywhere.  We had no idea that a bollard was a block that kept you 
  from driving your car onto the sidewalk, but were amused at the tone of 
  the signs.  It made it sound like a bollard was some kind of beast that 
  jumped out from behind the bushes and ate you.  Just before handing the 
  artwork to the guy from Bonapart, Glenn just scrawled the word "BEWARE" 
  on a scrap of paper and slapped it on the artwork." 

BLANKETY-BLANK MUSIC

  Forced Exposure #7/8 (1984) interview.

  September of 1953.

EARTH A.D.

  Fiend Club, this phrase came from the 1957 horror movie "The She-Creature."

FELINE NURSERY
  This song was performed at some of the early Misfits shows in 1977.  The
  chorus lyric was "I'm gonna throw away the key to the feline nursery."  By
  the time The Misfits entered the studio in January of 1978, Glenn had
  changed the lyrics and name of this song to "Spinal Remains."  The true
  "Feline Nursery" was never recorded.

GHOULS NIGHT OUT
  The title of this song comes from the 1960 movie "Night Of The Ghouls."

  by Hell-bent or Hellbent Music.

  of Milton's "Paradise Lost."

HOLLYWOOD BABYLON
  This song may have been based on the Kenneth Anger book of the same name.

  Spungeon.  Some inspiration also came from the 1960 horror movie "Psycho."  

HORROR HOTEL

I GOT A RIGHT
  Originally written by Iggy Pop and James Williamson, this song was performed 
  live in the 1970s.  A recording of this song was supposedly uncovered by 
  Glenn, as stated in an issue of Thrasher from 1986.  Jerry Only claims that 
  the song was never done in the studio until 1997, when the band recorded a 
  cover version for the Iggy Pop tribute album.

LONDON DUNGEON
  This song was based on Glenn Danzig's experience in a London jail in
  December of 1979.

MARS ATTACKS
  This 1996 song is based on the "Mars Attacks" trading cards distributed by
  Topps.  Upon hearing that "Mars Attacks" was being made into a movie, 
  Jerry Only wrote this song and sent a copy to Tim Burton (the producer) to 
  be used on the soundtrack.  Burton received the song too late into the 
  production of the movie to use the song.

MEPHISTO WALTZ
  This was a song that Glenn wrote that was never recorded while the band 
  was together.  According to Jerry, it was a song The Misfits only rehearsed 
  twice together, as all the members of the band except Glenn did not like it.
  Glenn first mentioned it in the June 1986 Thrasher interview by Pushead, 
  who misquoted the title as "The Crystal Waltz."  In a later Thrasher issue, 
  a short article stated that Glenn had recently discovered a tape with this 
  song on it.  The version of this song that appears on the COLLECTION II 
  album and THE MISFITS BOX SET was recorded by Glenn Danzig and Eerie Von 
  in 1986, three years after The Misfits broke up.  The title of this song 
  may have come from the 1971 movie of the same name.

THE MISFITS
  The name of the band was taken from the 1961 movie "The Misfits" starring 
  Marilyn Monroe.  It was her last movie ever, and she, along with the
  other two main actors in the film, were thanked on the sleeve of the band's
  first single in 1977.  The lettering style for the band logo from 1981 on
  (specifically the M, F, S, T, S letters) was stolen from the "Famous 
  Monsters Of Filmland" horror magazine logo.

  recorded by Kryst The Conqueror for their full length LP.  It was later
  performed by The Misfits during several soundchecks and recorded in the
  studio in May of 1996.  A Kryst The Conqueror demo version of this song,
  featuring The Murp on drums and Jeff Scott Soto on vocals, was used in a
  scene of the movie "Animal Room" with Michale Graves lip-synching the
  lyrics.  The Misfits also filmed a video for this song for their horror
  movie series using an instrumental Kryst The Conqueror demo version, with
  a new Michale Graves vocal track.  The Misfits re-recorded the beginning
  of this song and named it "Abominable Dr. Phibes" in 1996.

PLAN 9 RECORDS
  Glenn named the record label after the 1959 horror movie favorite "Plan
  9 From Outer Space" starring Vampira and Bela Lugosi.

  Mop" written by Wills and Anderson.

  the 1964 album ENGLAND'S NEWEST HITMAKERS, was covered live by The Misfits

  TV and began recording, starting with Channel 11 ("Star Trek") and ending
  with Channel 5 ("I Love Lucy").

VAMPIRA
  This song was written about the horror movie actress Vampira.  There was
  also a 1974 movie with this title.

VIOLENT WORLD
  This song was based on the 1970s magazine of the same name which often
  included photographs of executions and other death scenes.

WALK AMONG US
  The title of this album may have come from the 1956 horror movie "The
  Creature Walks Among Us."  The creature on the left side of the album
  cover was taken from the 1959 horror movie "Angry Red Planet."  The 
  flying saucers were taken from the 1956 science fiction movie "Earth
  Versus The Flying Saucers."

WE ARE 138
  Based on George Lucas's 1971 science fiction film "THX-1138," this song
  reflects the anonymity attached to living with a number for a name in a
  25th century police state.  On July 1, 1996 Bobby Steele e-mailed the
  following to the Misfits Bible:
    "We used to have badges with a picture of a robot with 138 on his
     forehead. I wonder if Jerry has one, or remembers it...  He [Glenn]
     used to tell us that if someone asked what it meant, we should just
     laugh, and in a mocking tone say "What? You don't know?" and sound
     real snobby when you say it.  Make them feel like every idiot but
     YOU knows what it means."
  Jerry Only told a similar story to a fan after the July 27, 1996 show:
    "'138' is like people being treated as androids where you have a 
     number instead of a name, so it's like the human number would be a
     138...  We had buttons made once, they were robots with '138' 
     that looked like half human android kinda things, long before your 
     Terminator or stuff like that."

WEST END AVENUE
  This song was performed at some of the early Misfits shows in 1977.  It was
  never recorded.

WHERE EAGLES DARE
  Some people claim that this song was influenced by the 1969 action movie
  of the same name.  This is very doubtful.

WHO KILLED MARILYN
  This song is based on the mysterious events surrounding the death of
  Marilyn Monroe.
