The Hookup On Music Presents 31 Horror Tunes For Halloween Day 26: Misfits- Halloween

Misfits Halloween was released as the band’s 5th single on October 31st,  1981.  Written by lead singer Glenn Danzig and released on Plan 9 Records which is an amazing Ed Wood reference.  This was the first release by the band that features their iconic Famous Monsters Of Filmland logo as well as being just called simply Misfits.  At just under 2 minutes this song is a must that is a hummer-along on any fall day.  One thing you can tell is that the can loves Halloween and wrote a great track to represent that fact.

The track was so good the band decided to release a sequel, Halloween II.  To imagine being around back when the track was released and being able to grab one of the original pressings of the album would be rad.  Go back on youtube and check out as this past year we dug into the bands catalog to amazing degree.  Listen to Halloween or any classic Misfits jam to satisfy your Halloween music urge.
