Get the Captain Picard mug.While they are whored out by Hot Topic, and most of their fans are goth posers with tripp pants, they are actually a pretty good horror punk band.
When I say horror punk, don't expect horror punk along the lines of Misfits, which is typical rock driven by guitar, bass and drums. They are actually driven by synth drums, and two keyboardists that go by the pseudonyms Curtis RX, and Erik X, with Curtis doing vocals. Their name comes from a generic title for horror shows broadcast on local U.S. television stations throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
They do a very good job of capturing the feeling old b-horror movies gave off. Their lyrics reflect such subject matters as Zombies (Aim For The Head), being buried alive (Buried Alive (duh)), and probably one of my favorite songs by them is Gorey Demise, which features a meeting of monsters going through the obituaries in alphabetical order.
Sadly, their image is being ruined, so many old school punk fans will call them posers, especially horror punk fans, and never give them a chance. But I encourage any fan of horror and punk to go and check them out. Their debut album was released a while ago. It is called "The Greatest Show Unearthed." Buy it, and keep an open mind.

Get the Creature Feature mug.Another example of a great comedian being absolutely ruined by 13 year olds constantly quoting his routine in an effort to be funny. Also see Dave Chappelle.
13 year old: SILENCE! I KILL YOU!
Other guy: You know what the difference between you and Jeff Dunham is? You're not Jeff Dunham. So shut up.
