ROFL.
The Misfits took an awful lot from UK Psychobilly band Demented Are Go, both visually and aurally. The whole schlock-horror image originated with R&B legend Screaming Jay Hawkins in the 50s, followed by UK R&R'er Screaming Lord Sutch in the 60s and eventually by The Cramps in the 70s. These in turn gave us (Via a somewhat circular route) in 1982 Demented Are Go.
Before you slate me for that, go look DAG up. You'll be surprised.
