Horror punk is a dark style of music mixing Gothic and punk rock sounds with morbid imagery. Often, song topics are taken from horror movies, but the best horror punk creates atmosphere by telling tales through the song. The Misfits are considered to be the first horror punk band. They were followed by bands like Samhain (now known as the Doom Metal band Danzig, headed by the former frontman of The Misfits), 45 Grave, and Mourning Noise .

Horror punk continues as a thriving sub-genre with dedicated websites, festivals, and current bands such as Antarctica Vs. the World, The Independents , The Brickbats , Thee Hallowteens , Mister Monster , Eerie Ln. , The Undead , The Groovie Ghoulies, The Lillingtons and Mockingbird Lane.
