History Music / ZombinaAndTheSkeletones

* LyricalDissonance: Prom Night is an infectiously catchy acapella pop tune about Janie arriving late to the dance, only to find her MadScientist date with another girl. [[YourCheatingHeart This quickly leads to things getting messy.]]

{{Acapella}}: "Prom Night" is entirely sung with vocal harmonies providing the bass and rhythm with the band members clapping as percussion.

* AscendedFanboy: "Vincent Price", naturally enough about the titular actor's biggest fan that models his/her look after him, impersonates him for movies, and even wants to be buried next to his grave.

Zombina and the Skeletones, a horror-themed {{pop punk}} band from Liverpool, England, began in 1998 when Zombina and songwriter Doc Horror partnered up as teenagers to create a band called The Deformed. Legend has it that they changed their name at one of their first shows, coming up with their current moniker backstage as a reference to {{Josie and the Pussycats}} and allowing the audience to vote on the proposed change. They have since released five albums and numerous [=EPs=] and singles, with Zombina and Doc Horror being the only consistent members.

* InTheStyleOf: "The Future" sounds like something TheB52s could have come up with.

* HowWeGotHere: ''Death Valley high'' starts with an investigation team already finding the school in ruins with the [[{{Gorn}} charred remnants of students' corpses melted into the walls]]. The rest of the album shows how it came to be.

* AscendedFanboy: Vincent Price, naturally enough about the titular actor's biggest fan that models his/her look after him, impersonates him for movies, and even wants to be buried next to his grave.

* CoverVersion: They've done a medley consisting of some Music/{{Misfits}} tracks, as well as the obligatory remake of MonsterMash.

* HiddenTrack: "Something Weird", added to the tail end of the album ''Out of the Crypt''.

* LighterAndSofter: Than most horrorpunk bands. However, they do have their moments like Your Girlfriend's head from Death Valley which almost veers into hardcore punk territory.

* MurderBallad: The End of the World, the climactic track of Death Valley High. The chorus consists of Zombina shouting: "Everybody's gonna die! Everybody's gonna die!" [[SarcasmMode Presumably it's for the benefit of those that didn't get the hint already.]]
* NothingIsScarier: Whatever killed the band one-by-one in the New Orleans Incident.

* ScheduleSlip: Charnel House Rock was listed as an upcoming album as far back as 2011. It was then pushed back to 2012, before once again getting pushed to mid 2013. That year nearly came and went, nothing. The album was finally announced during their 2013 Halloween gig, whereupon the album was released at last in early 2014..

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Janie from Death Valley High. She has no friends, her TV is her only source of comfort because it doesn't belittle her, and she just wants someone to love her. And when the only boy who ever had anything nice to say to her leaves her for another girl at the prom just because he can, it's no wonder why she snapped.

* CoverVersion: They've done a medley consisting of some Music/{{Misfits}} tracks, as well as the obligatory r\remake of MonsterMash.

They have since released five albums and numerous EP's and singles, with Zombina and Doc Horror being the only consistent members.

Their music typically takes inspiration from various {{B Movie}}s, often from horror and science fiction. Their specific sound often blends pop elements from the 50's and 80's, giving them a following amongst the horror punk, gothic, and psychobilly fans, among others.

** This is a compilation of songs from earlier EP's and singles.

* FaceOfTheBand: Zombina, of course.

* {{Theremin}}: One of these is used in a few of their songs, noteably "Staci Stasis".
* TheVillainSucksSong: From ''Death Valley High'', the song "Villain" is a warning to the protagonist to stay away from the school's resident mad scientist.
