The Misfits Horror Business Leather Wallet with Chain and Snaps
Over the course of 1979, The Misfits further evolved the horror elements of their music and their imagery, influenced by The Damned, who had recently regrouped in the proto-Goth lineup of the Machine Gun Etiquette album.
Danzig adopted a skull mascot for the band from an old poster frrom a 1946 Republic movie serial, The Crimson Ghost.
Two more records, the Horror Business EP and the "Night of the Living Dead" single, followed on the Plan 9 label.
The Misfits began to establish a small but loyal fan base and decided to start their own fan club, which they called the Fiend Club.
Danzig operated the Fiend Club from his mother's basement on Macarthur Ave. in Lodi, where he silk-screened t-shirts, assembled records, mailed out merchandise catalogs, booked gigs, and responded to fan mail, making the Misfits exemplary practitioners of the DIY ethic.
