this is a fact I just learned.
This movie inspired the name for the horror punk band "The Misfits". The lead singer and founder of the band, Glenn Danzig was very itnerested with Monroe's death and the rumours surrounding it, so he found it fit to name his band after her last film.
Yup, they also have a song called "Who Killed Marilyn?".
"...Feel my aura."
"I don't think I'm allowed to."
ive been into the misfits for so long but i just recently saw this movie and it adds this whole new level to their music. they try to come off as dark and satanic but i think them naming themselves after a marylin monroe movie is just a testament to the irony of the band and their music.
sharethe chili peppers do a goof on them in the video for dani california
sharei highly doubt it was a goof becuase red hot chili peppers have said that one of their crucial influences was the misfits.probly just advertisment on one of their favorite bands
shareIt wasn't a goof on them, more of a tribute.
shareThe Misfits don't try to be Satanic, but Danzig intended to pull the band in that direction, thus causing their break-up. They do try to come off as gory though (specifically on the last Danzig-era album, Earth A.D./Wolfblood)

Nope, "Who Killed Marylin?" is a Misfits song.

the movie is alot better than the band....I am so sick of the misfits...they are the most cliche punk band that all the punks must like....I think they are also overrated....and by the way..I am watching the "MOVIE" right now.....
shareplease...just go play in traffic.
sharefirst you dont know much about punk.second they inspired a alot of very popular metal bands and they were the sh*t and the band to play with back then.they played with blackflag, the ramones, bad brains, reagan youth and alot more very good hardcore punk bands.so before you say theyre overrated think again cause there wouldnt be alot of kind of music today.

I hope u are not even refering to me...I been in the punk and hardcore scene since 1986....I have seen more bands than I can remember and have been to more shows than I can even count...only posers think the misfits 'rule'..and who cares about "popular" metal bands...u must be a poser....
The Truth is out there.
i bet you dont even know who the cro mags or jerrys kids are ?
sharethey never got to play with the ramones, if you don't believe me, look it up...
sharecliche punk band? wtf........ how is horror punk cliche? especially when they started in 77'? u must be retarded.
shareBecause the current "incarnation" of the band is not the misfits. The misfits without danzig is a rediculous concept.
Cheers
@ xLoneWolfx
jerry only founded the band so its his band.. danzig was just a singer in the band if you dont believe me look it up.. and by the way todays misfits is still awsome with dez cadena and robo!

shareHow weird. i'm listening to "Where Eagles Dare" while reading this !!
shareGreat Song! But it might not even be 'top 5 favorite Misfits' songs' for me.
10. Attitude/Mommy Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight? (Not a very good song, but a cool name)
9. Skulls
8. Angel f u c k
7. We Are 138
6. Astro Zombies
5. Last Caress
4. Die, Die My Darling
3. Where Eagles Dare
2. Hybrid Moments
1. Halloween
Ok "Where Eagles Dare" is top 5. What are your favorite ten Misfits songs?
I would have to say the whole 12 Hits from Hell, i know that it was never offically released but it if you can a copy,it is well worth the hunt.
Bobby Steele's guitar work with the over dubs from Doyle are unbelievable. Misfits sound great with two guitars!
I know you weren't talking to me, but my favorite Misfits songs are:
1. She
2. Teenagers from Mars
3. Horror Business
4. Hollywood Babylon
5. Devil's Whore House
6. Return of the Fly
7. Who Killed Marilyn?
8. Nike A Go-Go
9. Die, Die My Darling
10. Static Age
Its really hard to narrow down to just 10 though, I like almost all of their Danzig-era stuff.
Horror Business, I Turned Into a Martian, Skulls, Last Caress (it's a classic), Where Eagles Dare, TV Casualty, Hatebreeders, Hybrid Moments, She, Angel *beep* Spinal Remains. In no particular order.
