Something I have always been curious about is the obvious sub-genre of
surf music that is the so-called horror music. How did all of this
start? There are the Portland band's who are really into the whole
thing and then there are the Ghastly One's. And all the way back we
have the Ghouls. There are many more modern bands that have this sound
as well. How did this whole idea start and evolve?
And do we think of the horror sound because of the image of the band
or do we associate the actual melodies with creepy music we have heard
in our youth.
Are the Ghouls really the start of it all? In other words were they a
popular enough band to influence the bands that came.
