Serving as the soundtrack to the horror/comedy of the same name, this offers ten blasts of campy punk rock that may not be essential, but certainly entertains.
The Cramps steal the disc with the opening track, the rockabilly boogie "Surfin" Dead." Roky Erickson contributes the hilariously ghoulish "Burn the Flames," a jangly dirge flavored with gothic keyboards and sound effects. Other notable tracks include T.S.O.L.'s angst anthem "Nothing for You," and SSQ's twisted ode to necromancy, "Tonight (We'll Make Love Until We Die)." To the casual observer, this serves as an good introduction to the gothic punk scene that flourished in the mid-'80s underground. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
