Debut EP of Drunken Frankenstein - we're a punk band, we play songs about monsters and horror movies! Drunken Frankenstein is the brainchild of cult horror movie filmmaker Jim Haggerty (WITCHMASTER GENERAL, WHEN DEATH CALLS) - they're a horror-obsessed punk rock band who play songs about monsters and classic horror movies.

Their five-track debut EP, Phantom Creeps is a driving collection of rockin' tunes sure to delight fans of The Misfits, Alice Cooper, KISS, The Ramones or Motorhead! Begun as a one-off project to create a punk rock theme song for Haggerty's next horror movie, the musicians Haggerty assembled clicked so well musically and personally that one song turned into two, two turned into four, four turned into five and the band was born.

Haggerty and bassist Robert Jackson, guitar virtuoso Jeorge Althaus and drummer Bobby James have a grinding, cohesive groove that make them sound like they've been together a lot longer than they have.

And Haggerty's quirky, clever lyrics show a deep passion for - and knowledge of - all things ghoulish.

From the snarling punk of Mad Doctor with the Skeleton Hand, to the groovy shuffle of Honey Blonde - an homage to horror movie scream queens - to the thousand-mile-an-hour barnstormer Don't Look in the Basement (a tribute to one of Haggerty's favorite fright flicks), Phantom Creeps is scary because it's so damn good!
