Horror punk (or horror rock) is a music genre that has origins in the early works of the band The Misfits, blending horror movie themes with early punk rock and varying amounts of doo-wop.

Bands tell tales through their lyrics, which are often influenced by horror movies, particularly those with werewolves, vampires and zombies. Some bands incorporate influences from heavy metal and gothic rock, and prefer the label horror rock. Other bands show heavy influences from Hardcore punk, and are often described as horror hardcore. Examples of horrorpunk bands: Misfits, Samhain (both bands created by Glenn Danzig), The Undead with ex-Misfits guitarist Bobby Steele, and the band Mourning Noise with Steve Zing on drums.
