Horror punk

Horror punk is a subgenre of punk rock that combines the raw energy and attitude of punk with themes inspired by horror, gothic, and supernatural imagery. It often features theatrical, spooky visuals and lyrics that reference monsters, horror films, and macabre settings. Musically, it incorporates fast-paced tempos, gritty guitars, and sometimes horror-inspired sound effects. The style aims to evoke a sense of dark fun and rebellion, blending music with a storytelling aesthetic rooted in horror entertainment. Notable bands include The Misfits and Murderdolls, who popularized and shaped the genre's distinctive spooky-punk identity.
