This song was inspired by a 1968 science fiction horror film called The Astro-Zombies. The film centers around a horde of zombies on a rampage, but these aren't just your average zombies - these flesh-eaters are cobbled together from the various parts of murder victims, created by a scientist upset over being fired from a fictional space agency. It's the perfect combination of ingredients to inspire the Misfits, and the resulting song is one of their most popular tunes.
Written by Glenn Danzig, "Astro Zombies" is the third-longest song on the 1982 release Walk Among Us. Tapping out at 2:14, it's an epic of sorts as far as punk songs go.
