"what more can be said about this album? besides its gotta be my personal favorite-- including such classics as braineaters, vampira, 20 eyes, skulls, night of the living dead- the whole album is just perfect- anyone without this masterpiece- will have to find it and buy it right away- although a little hard to find during these times but well worth the time and money spent looking--"
Great...

"WHOA! all the great ones are here! Astro zombie's, skulls, vampira, braineaters...and all tha rest! ..this one is great!"
Why only 5 stars? 20 stars applies in a much better way here

"This CD is great - its catchy, fast, and its funny. Also, unlike the Dead Kennedys (as great as they are), this CD can remain relevant forever - horror movies will be relevant for a long time.
A lyrics sheet would have been nice though.....It gets a bit hard to understand in some of the songs, such as Nike-A-Go-Go and the second half of Mommy...."
