The Original Misfits Rip Through 20-Song Set at Coachella
Glenn Danzig in Portlandia (2011)
Horror-punk legends The Original Misfits took the stage at Coachella late Saturday night (April 12th), ripping through a 20-song set at the massive festival in Indio, California.

The band launched into “Death Comes Ripping” to kick off the set, which began with a few technical issues but sorted itself out a few songs in. Frontman Glenn Danzig engaged the crowd throughout, at one point asking if there were any goth girls in the audience before playing “Vampira,” a song about the “original goth girl.”

A circle pit soon broke out, as the Misfits played favorites like “Where Eagles Dare,” “Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?,” “Earth A.D.” and “Skulls.”

Prior to “Horror Business,” Danzig introduced the band, featuring classic members Jerry Only (bass) and Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein (guitar) alongside Dave Lombardo (drums) and Acey Slade (guitar).

Danzig and company closed out the main set with the all-time classic “Last Caress,...

Glenn Danzig Faces Backlash Over Apparent Nazi Symbol on Merch Design
Image
Glenn Danzig is facing backlash from fans after selling a poster and T-shirt at his recent L.A. show that contained an apparent Nazi-related “Black Sun” symbol.

Danzig just completed a short tour with his eponymous band, which included a stop on Saturday night (March 29th) at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Fans could purchase a special poster and shirt marking that specific concert, though a few noticed that the design featured an illustrated Danzig standing in front of Nazi-associated iconography, specifically the Black Sun (aka sonnenrad or sunwheel) symbol that has been co-opted by some white supremacist groups.

“Can’t spell Danzig without nazi,” wrote one X/Twitter user who posted an image of the show poster.

Another user re-posted the pic, adding: “What the fuck is this, Glen @RealDanzig? This was designed by the fucking Nazis, so don’t try to hide behind ‘it’s an ancient...

Metal Singer Calls Ozzy Osbourne’s Farewell Tour a ‘Scam’!

Elton John’s farewell tour was the stuff of legends, spanning countries, years and drawing in a record audience at certain venues. The thing is, once he performed the final show on his farewell tour, Elton John really did say his farewell to touring.

However, this metal singer believes Ozzy Osbourne’s so-called farewell tour is just another form of scamming fans to fill out venues.

Metal Singer Urges Ozzy Osbourne To Make Farewell Tour “Final”

Some musicians have surprised us in recent years by announcing their retirement and a few moments later go on to release new music and tour said new music.

Glenn Danzig doesn’t want Osbourne to be one of them. He wants the rocker to make good on his word when he says he’s embarking on a final tour with Black Sabbath.

For those who aren’t acquainted by Danzig’s work, he is...

Glenn Danzig Blasts Bands Who Return to Stage After “Final” Tour: “It’s Kind of a Scam”
Image
Glenn Danzig has made it known that he’s pretty much done touring, outside of short runs and one-off performances, as has been the case with the band Danzig and the reunited Misfits in recent years.

In a new interview, the 69-year-old singer was asked if he’d ever consider playing a big farewell concert before retiring, a la Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s upcoming final show. Although Danzig has no immediate plans for calling it quits, if he did bill a show as his “final” performance, you can bet that he’d stick to his word.

“I mean, I remember when Danzig went out with Ozzy, that was supposed to be his final tour [laughs],” Glenn told Radioactive MikeZ, host on 96.7 Kcal-fm. “And then he’s done a bunch of final tours since then.”

He added, “If it’s gonna be final, it should be final.

Glenn Danzig Is Done with Albums But May Release New Singles with Misfits or Danzig

Glenn Danzig is done recording albums due to the financial risks, the singer revealed in a new interview.

It’s bad news for fans hoping for a new full-length from a reunited Misfits or his band Danzig. However, he didn’t rule out the possibility of dropping singles with either act.

Glenn’s remarks came in a new interview on “The Abe Kanan Show” on Sacramento’s 98 Rock Krxq radio. When asked the inevitable question about the chances of a new Misfits album, he opined about the cost of recording an LP and the challenges of recouping those costs.

“Maybe a song. Not an album,” Glenn said of future new releases (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), adding that the same went for Danzig.

He continued, “Look, people now just wanna download your stuff for free, and they don’t understand that it costs money to go in...

Ke Huy Quan Says Hugh Jackman Was the Perfect Wolverine in the 'X-Men' Movies
Image
Ke Huy Quan, the actor who returned to the spotlight in recent years because of his Academy Award-winning performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once, says why there's no doubt that Hugh Jackman is the best actor to play Wolverine. Quan, who worked as a stunt coordinator in the first X-Men movie, says Jackman was born for the role, one that he's been doing for almost 25 years.

Quan appeared on the Josh Horowitz podcast Happy Sad Confusedto promote his recently released movie, Love Hurts. Quan also spoke about how his career had a huge twist after he won the Oscar in 2024. The actor left the Hollywood spotlight after being featured in major '80s films like The Goonies and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and fully turned to behind-the-scenes work as a stunt coordinator and choreographer.

This is how he landed the gig for the first ever X-Men...

Avenged Sevenfold Unveil Covers of Misfits Songs “Halloween” and “Skulls”: Stream
Image
Avenged Sevenfold are keeping up their tradition of covering the Misfits every Halloween. This time around, the metal band has delivered two classics by the horror-punk legends: “Skulls” and the appropriately titled “Halloween.”

Just like A7X’s past covers of Misfits tunes, guitarist Zacky Vengeance takes on lead vocals, offering a smooth baritone that closely emulates Misfits frontman Glenn Danzig’s signature croon.

Two years ago, Vengeance led Avenged Sevenfold on a cover of “Last Caress,” and last year they took on “Astro Zombies.”

Last week, Avenged Sevenfold played a special club show at the Santa Ana Observatory performing songs exclusively from 2003’s Waking the Fallen and 2005’s City of Evil. Frontman M. Shadows got into the Halloween spirit by wearing a skeleton costume during the gig.

Next month, A7X will play select shows in Brazil, India, and Peru, as they continue to support their latest album, Life Is But a Dream…...

“I’m glad I didn’t do it”: Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Failed to Impress Another Contender for the Role Who Called His Performance ‘Gay’ After Failing to Secure the Role Despite His Looks
Image
Wolverine used to be unarguably one of the biggest fan-favorite characters out of all the X-Men. Then came Hugh Jackman, who brought the character to life so immaculately that now fans can’t imagine anyone else playing the respective mutant. But while fans from all across the globe have been deeply mesmerized by his performance, there is still one person who isn’t.

This one person is the singer cum songwriter cum musician and record producer, Glenn Danzig, who was also a contender for this role. As it turns out, not only did Jackman’s performance as Logan cease to impress Danzig and led him to call it “gay,” but it also made him realize just how grateful he was to not have taken on the role!

The Correct Order To Watch The Hatchet Movies
Image
Not to be confused with the 1986 Gary Paulsen novel that was on your fifth-grade reading list, Adam Green's 2007 slasher "Hatchet" was intended to be an homage to the plentiful stalk-and-kill movies from the 1980s. The first "Hatchet" takes place deep in the swamps of Louisana where feckless city-dwellers get lost while taking a swamp tour. They trade stories of Victor Crowley, a local kid with facial differences who, years ago, was trapped in a burning house set ablaze by prankster teens. Crowley was accidentally killed by his father when he recklessly used a hatchet to free him from the fire. Victor's spirit is now said to haunt the swamp and murder interlopers. Of course, Victor will appear to start the predicted murders. 

Victor Crowley was played by stuntman Kane Hodder, perhaps best known for playing the masked killer Jason Voorhees in "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood,...

The Correct Order To Watch The Prophecy Movies
Image
In Gregory Widen's 1995 horror film "The Prophecy," angels look like ordinary people but are a little ... off. They are typically clad in black suits, but move like birds, snapping their heads around quickly, as if constantly aware of potential danger. They also have unnatural balance, able to perch on the edges of buildings or the backs of chairs without toppling over. When an angel calls Uziel (Jeff Cadiente) dies in the first "Prophecy," a medical examiner finds that the corpse is missing its eyes and that its blood chemistry is similar to that of an unborn fetus. Angels, it seems, are also intersex, possessing both a penis and a vagina. Angels, it seems, lurk among us, resentful of humanity.

The archangel Gabriel (Christopher Walken), still carrying his trumpet, is planning a war on humanity, hoping to foster the world's most evil soul, which was culled from the body of...

Sound And Vision: George Romero

In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week we take a look at The Misfits' Scream!, directed by George A. Romero. The Sound and Vision of this week might be about George A. Romero, the director who created the modern zombie, but we start with a different icon. Wes Craven, the King of slasher movies, was on a roll in the nineties after his career was revitalized with the meta-horror of Scream. A sequel had to follow, and Scream 2 was the hottest ticket in town. Enter The Misfits, who themselves had a second wind under an iteration without the infamous Glenn Danzig. The new line-up of the band wrote a track for Scream...

The Dandy Warhols Team Up with Pixies’ Black Francis for “Danzig With Myself”: Stream
Image
The Dandy Warhols have unveiled a new single called “Danzig With Myself,” featuring a guest spot by Pixies frontman Black Francis. The song appears on the alt-rock band’s upcoming album, Rockmaker, out March 15th.

Musically, the song has a Pixies vibe, with Francis contributing a fuzzed-out guitar track. Of the song’s title, Dandy Warhol singer Courtney Taylor-Taylor explained, “It started with a riff that either sounded like Misfits or Danzig and then got slowed down.”

He continued, “Over time, it became the working title that was just too good to replace.”

Taylor-Taylor delivers the verses in a deep sing-talk vocal, although not quite as deep as Glenn Danzig, and the dark lyrics serve as another tribute of sorts to the horror-punk icon. The tune starts out with the lines, “Some days it’s just so obvious/ Some days insidious/ But half the people alive today are/ Are fucking idiots.

Manny Martinez, Early Misfits Drummer, Dead at 69

Manny Martinez, an early drummer for the Misfits, has died as the age of 69.

Depending on the interpretation of the Misfits timeline, Martinez was either the first or second Misfits drummer, forming a lineup with classic members Jerry Only and Glenn Danzig. However, Martinez was definitely the first drummer to appear on an official recording with the band, and actually helped introduce Only and Danzig to one another.

Martinez’s friend Zach Rector shared the news of the drummer’s passing on Facebook:

Glenn Danzig’s ‘Death Rider in the House of Vampires’ Finally Getting a Release on Blu-ray

Glenn Danzig (Verotika) brought his Vampire Spaghetti-Western Death Rider in the House of Vampires to select theaters back in 2021, but it’s been quite a while since we’ve heard a peep about the project. When will you actually be able to watch the movie?

Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that Cleopatra will be releasing Glenn Danzig’s Death Rider in the House of Vampires on DVD and Blu-ray sometime in December 2023!

You can pre-order your copy – various editions are available – right now.

Patrick Bromley wrote in his 2021 review for Bloody Disgusting, “Death Rider in the House of Vampires has all the charm of Verotika, and nearly all of its flaws, too. That’s probably damning praise, encouraging fans of the latter to seek out the former while scaring off those who found Danzig’s first film to be insufferable.

Glenn Danzig’s Movie Death Rider in the House of Vampires Gets Blu-Ray/DVD Release

Two years after its arrival in theaters, Glenn Danzig‘s horror film Death Rider in the House of Vampires is finally receiving a physical release on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Danzig’s second original feature-length film and self-described “vampire Spaghetti Western” received a limited theatrical release back in August 2021. The veteran rocker wrote, directed, scored, and starred in the film (playing the character Bad Bathory) alongside the likes of Devon Sawa, Julian Sands, Danny Trejo, Eli Roth, and Kim Director.

The plot follows the Death Rider (Sawa), who travels to the desert Vampire Sanctuary, ruled by Count Holliday. The price of admission is “one untouched virgin.” As seen in the Nsfw trailer for the film, the combo of bloodthirst and gunslinging recalls Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s horror shoot-em-up From Dusk Till Dawn, which also features vampires and pistols.

Marvel's Kevin Feige Had A Sly X-Men Cameo You Would Have Never Noticed

Long before Kevin Feige transformed the blockbuster business via the miraculous 11-year Avengers saga that began with 2008's "Iron Man" and ended with 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," he was an assistant to producer Lauren Shuler Donner on non-superheroic fare like "Volcano" and "You've Got Mail." The USC film school grad had an encyclopedic knowledge of comics and "Star Wars," but everyone's got to start somewhere, and working for the wife of Richard Donner, the man who directed one of the greatest superhero hero movies of all time in 1979's "Superman," was a heck of a lot better than waiting tables at Barney's Beanery.

As fortune would have it, Lauren Shuler Donner had purchased the movie rights to Marvel Comics' ultra-popular X-Men, and, after years of development stumbles and false starts that saw folks as disparate as Russell Crowe, Bob Hoskins, and Glenn Danzig considered for the pivotal role of Wolverine, Donner...

Death Rider in the House of Vampires: Danzig film seeks distribution in Cannes

Nearly two years have gone by since we heard anything about Death Rider in the House of Vampires, the second feature directorial effort from musician Glenn Danzig (following the infamous 2019 horror anthology Verotika – watch it Here). At that time, the film was receiving a 200+ screen theatrical release in the United States… but after that theatrical run, the movie disappears. Now Screen Daily reports that Vmi Worldwide is presenting Death Rider in the House of Vampires to potential distributors at the Cannes Film Market – so if deals are secured there, more of us will have a chance to see the movie soon.

Scripted by Danzig, who also composed the score, Death Rider in the House of Vampires is a Spaghetti Western where every single character is a vampire. The story centers on the Death Rider, who travels to the desert Vampire Sanctuary ruled by Count Holliday. The price of admission… one untouched virgin.

Picard Actor Addresses Captain Shaw’s Star Trek Future
Image
Star Trek hasn’t always been great about introducing new characters in legacy stories. Sure, Lieutenant Saavik was pretty great, at least in her first incarnation, but no one wanted to see more of David or William Dekker (bullet dodged on that last one). But like an odd-numbered Trek movie that everyone loves, Star Trek: Picard‘s Captain Liam Shaw has broken the mold. The cantankerous Captain of the USS Titan has whistled his way into our hearts, with his jazz-hating, protocol-loving, Picard-down-putting ways.

So even as members of the Picard creative team play will they/won’t they with the possibility of continuing the show beyond its planned third and final season, fans have been calling for a USS Titan series featuring Shaw at the helm. The idea of seeing the prim and proper Shaw complain his way through more Star Trek-style adventures is just too good to resist,...

Cleopatra Entertainment Takes North America For ‘What The Waters Left Behind: Scars’ Starring David Michigan & Magui Bravi
Image
Exclusive: Cleopatra Entertainment has acquired North American rights to Argentinian director and producer Nicolas Onetti’s slasher picture What The Waters Left Behind: Scars.

The picture is the sequel to Onetti’s 2017 horror hit What The Waters Left Behind about a group of youngsters whose plan to shoot a documentary about the real-life, abandoned, lakeside spa resort of Epecuén takes a terrifying turn.

The new film revisits Epecuén and follows an Anglo-American indie rock band that ends up stranded in the desolate city. Their internal conflicts and the bad luck of their tour quickly fade, when they begin to discover the bloody hell that awaits them.

Camilio Zaffora wrote the screenplays for the original and its sequel.

The drama stars social media influencer David Michigan, Mario Alarcón (The Secret In Their Eyes), Magui Bravi (The 100 Candles Game) and German Baudino (History of The Occult).

How Hugh Jackman's Wife Almost Changed Wolverine Forever
Image
It's wild to remember a time when making a superhero movie wasn't a safe bet. It's perhaps even more wild to think back to a time when certain comic fans were upset about Hugh Jackman's casting as Wolverine because the then-unknown Australian actor was too tall. It's true that the Wolverine of Marvel Comics isn't nearly as tall or as handsome as Jackman, but why shouldn't Wolvie get the Hollywood treatment?

These days it's impossible to imagine anyone else in the role Jackman so fully embodied for nearly two decades. In fact, the recent news of his return to the part in the upcoming "Deadpool 3" caused quite a stir. While some fans were over the moon, others were nervous that reprising the role would cheapen Wolverine's swan song in 2017's "Logan."

Bringing Marvel's Marvelous Mutants to the big screen took decades. There were quite a few twists (Bob Hoskins...

From ‘Spicoli Cobain’ to the Cast of ‘Friends’ as Blink 182, These Shirts Reimagine Band Tees With Pop Culture Characters

Indie artist foulperalta has gone viral for his tongue-in-cheek take on retro band tees, reimagining the musical artists with pop culture characters and memes. The artist’s “Spicoli Cobain” tee, which juxtaposes Sean Penn’s character from Fast Times at Ridgemont High with the iconic Nirvana logo, may be his best-known piece, but there are dozens of other designs available to buy now.

The shirts are all sold on Teerepublic, a print-on-demand site that lets you superimpose the image or artwork of your choice onto a T-shirt, tank-top, hoodie, mug and even a face mask.

Howie Pyro, a founding member of New York City punk band D Generation, pioneering party DJ, and avid collector of music and movie ephemera, died Wednesday. He was 61. Pyro had undergone a liver transplant last year and was recovering in a Los Angeles hospital.

Jesse Dayton Played With Waylon and Cash. He Writes About That and More in New Memoir

Jesse Dayton spent Halloween onstage at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, playing Elvis Presley songs behind Glenn Danzig. It’s the kind of oddball convergence of personalities and styles that could only find its way to Dayton, an outspoken Texas singer, songwriter, and guitarist who has collaborated with everyone from Misfits Glenn to “Rhinestone Cowboy” Glen.

“Glenn’s an old-school rock star. He bought everyone in the crowd a Voodoo Doughnut with an upside-down pentagram on it — something Glen Campbell would never,” Dayton says.

In his debut memoir Beaumonster — a play on his native Beaumont,...

‘Death Rider in the House of Vampires’ Review

Stars: Devon Sawa, Tasha Reign, Danny Trejo, Julian Sands, Ashley Wisdom, Kim Director, Sean Waltman, Lee Ving, Eli Roth, James Cullen Bressack, Jen Soska, Sylvia Soska | Written and Directed by Glenn Danzig

I’m not sure what’s more surprising, that I’m reviewing a movie called Death Rider in the House of Vampires or that, after Verotika, somebody put up money for Glenn Danzig to make another movie. But here we are.

As the film opens Death Rider is riding through a desert filled with warning signs and crucified bodies. He leads another horse, with a bound, topless woman on it. She is his entrance fee to Sanctuary, one female virgin. She looks like she probably couldn’t remember when she actually was a virgin but that’s besides the point.

After riding for what seems to be hours and running into some trouble from Bela Latigo he arrives...

‘Jungle Run’ DVD Review
Image
Stars: Richard Grieco, Wade Hunt Williams, Benjamin Bernard, Christian DeJesus, Jamie Petitto, Jack Pearson | Written by Marc Gottlieb | Directed by Noah Luke

With Dwayne Johnson’s big-budget Jungle Cruise due out from Disney soon, The Asylum was sure to be ready with their own cash in. And sure enough, here comes Jungle Run starring Richard Grieco and a bunch of people you’ve probably never heard of before fighting creatures rendered with questionable CGI.

Lebecq captain’s a charter boat in Brazil. Like all jungle boat captains, he drinks heavily and leaves everything to his crew Sark (Benjamin Bernard; Messiah) and Teese (Christian DeJesus). Despite offering private charters he’s managed to charter his boat out to both Amanda and Vera (Jamie Petitto; Geek USA).

Amanda and her brother Scott (Jack Pearson; Shark Season) are searching for their missing father Nathan. Vera runs the company that sent him into the jungle.

How ‘Two Minutes to Late Night’ Created the Web’s Wildest Quarantine Covers Series

During the past year, the virtual jam — wherein a group of artists each claim their own corner of a 16:9 YouTube screen to rock out in isolation, together — has become as ubiquitous as Zoom conference calls, online schooling, and any other pandemic-era activity. Pearl Jam did it for Covid relief. The Rolling Stones did it for Global Citizen. Metallica did it very quietly. But few virtual jams have been as relentlessly creative and consistently surprising — not to mention flat-out awesome — as the ones featured in metal-themed talk show Two Minutes...

Glenn Danzig on His New Vampire Western and Why Horror Still Inspires Him
Image
Glenn Danzig is getting anxious for a return to “normal.” A year ago, the heavy-metal singer turned horror filmmaker was editing his new feature, a blood-soaked “vampire spaghetti Western” called Death Rider in the House of Vampires, when the Covid-19 pandemic forced the world into lockdown. Now that the film is complete, and quarantine protocols are loosening up, he’s hoping to get it into theaters within the next couple of months.

“We’ve already got a plan to go to theaters with it around the country,” he says one day in late March.

Generation

The new HBO Max drama is all-in for Gen-z. Like most teenage stories, the characters are grappling with their sexuality, friendships, relationships, and family, but this series dives deeper into the complexities of our modern era. From new, evolving technology to changing gender norms, the social landscape is as diverse as the teens’ identities. While they embrace what makes them who they are, the conservative town they call home prefers to keep conversations quiet – especially as it relates to sexuality. (March 11th)
