Mister Monster are an American, New Jersey based horror punk band, started in 1998 by singer-guitarist , notable for their pioneering emphasis on doo wop within horror punk, a strategy the band labels "boo wop". Jason's influence include classic doo wop, the Stray Cats, The Damned,the Misfits, and the Ramones.
The earliest compositions that would become Mister Monster songs were written by Trioxin in 1996-1997 while he served tenure in a different band. Since his songs: "Prom night", "Dead flesh girl" and "Little Frankenstein" were rejected by his bandmates, this served as the impetus for the creation of Mister Monster.
Mister Monster's first release was the album Songs From the Crypt, which was originally self-released. Subsequent to this CD the band was regularly playing sold out performances in New Jersey and New York City. During the following year and a half, the band made small tours of the tri-State area and added changes to its lineup.
In 1999-2000, Trioxin recorded tracks for a 5-song demo and recruited various friends to back him up at many New York City/New Jersey shows as Mister Monster and the Back Alley Butchers.
In late 2001 the band released the full-length disc Over Your Dead Body, which featured "This Night I Call (Bad Luck)", "Prom Night", "Scars 19", and "Resident Evil". The video for "Bad Luck", along with the video for "Gore Whore", can be found as bonus materials on the DVD for the horror film Creepy Tales: Girls' Night Out (Cinema Sky). The song appears on the soundtrack along with some other tracks performed by the Misfits.
Mister Monster has also appeared on compilations such as Grave Rockers and This Is Horrorpunk alongside the Nekromantix, The Cryptkeeper Five, The Independents, Blitzkid, The Spook, and Rock City Morgue.
Over Your Dead Body is available on Hell's Hundred Records
