Besides the obvious Misfits there also is:

Blitzkid (sound like Misfits but different at times, great band)

Cryptkeeper Five

The Rosedales

Groovie Ghoulies (Often labeled as punk or rock but most of their songs involve horror or monsters outside of all their great covers.

Mr. Monster

The Serpenteens

Nekromantix

Kitty in a Casket

The Spookshow

Zombina & The Skeletones




Nothing is as it seems so I wouldn't judge by what you think you see.

Manimals ~ Horror punk with a metal edge from Ohio circa 1980s. Released one great album, Blood is the Harvest on their own House of Pain Records label.

Mourning Noise ~ Horror punk band from the early 80s. Steve Zing, the band's drummer, was Glenn Danzig's next door neighbor in Lodi, New Jersey and went on to play in Glenn's first post-Misfits band, Samhain. Mourning Noise released one 7" EP titled Dawn of the Dead and a posthumous album.

Rosemary's Babies ~ Yet another Lodi, NJ horror punk band from the early 80s! The Misfits were obviously influencing all the local punk kids with their unique sound and style. Drummer Eerie Von went on to become Glenn Danzig's future collaborator and bass player for Samhain and Danzig. One 7" EP (titled Blood Lust) was released.

45 Grave ~ Legendary L.A. punk/deathrock band fronted by Dinah Cancer. Released the great Sleep In Safety LP on Enigma Records in 1983 and appeared on the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack a couple of years later. The band recently reformed and put out a new album.
