A majority of ppl interviewd had the Crimson Ghost behind them.

Overall a decent documentary, but I did find it highly ironic that probably more than half the people interviewed had The Misfits Crimson Ghost either on the wall behind them, in their CD collections, or in Rollins' case, tattooed on his arm; And the documentary mentions The Misfits a grand total of ZERO times...

They formed in 1977, and broke up in 1983, you'd think they'd be prime material for something like this...

There is basically a chapter in the book dedicated to them, so I have a feeling that it was a copyright/permission/glen danzig being a dick thing, and not an oversight. The Misfits, though not my favorite band, were huge in the early hc scenes nation wide.

They did have Bobby Steele in the movie, but yeah, there sure wasn't much about the Misfits in it. Glenn Danzig probably didn't want to be interviewed about the Misfits and Jerry Only probably wanted to be paid too much to be in the movie.
