Happy Halloween

I have volunteered for a Haunted House in town for the last 13 years, which is ran by my Civitan Club a local non-profit organization. So of course I always take full advantage of our make up department on this wonderfull evening. The zombie farm as a website you can check that has information on Civitan and the farm itself at: Zombie Farm.net

Happy Halloween folks, please go listen to the misfits today. If you don't have any music by them I have posted the "The MSP Sessions" which was re-released/renamed 12 hits from hell .


The Misfits signed a record deal with Ruby Records after the recording, and used the 1980 sessions as a demo for their release "Walk Among Us." The full-length album expected from these sessions was never released. Although the Misfits never recorded as a five piece band, the purpose of this new release is to showcase both Bobby Steele's and Doyle's contributions equally. Bobby Steele, The Misfits' guitarist since 1978, recorded both rhythm and lead tracks for most of the songs, but was kicked out of the band mid-way through production. His parts were subsequently de-emphasized in the mix (although he is credited on 3 Hits From Hell as extra guitarist). Bassist Jerry Only's younger brother Doyle was inducted into the band and finished the recording session by adding and/or overdubbing guitar tracks. The songs only ended up in the hands of the general public through a 7" vinyl (3 Hits from Hell) and bootlegs. The tracks also appeared on the Misfits' Box Set"

That shit was taken off the shelves wasn't it? My friend has the CD. He bought it off a guy that works at Ear-X-Tasy for 20 bucks. I've seen that thing for $300 on ebay. Nuts.
