Return Of The Fly
Based on the 1959 horror movie "Return Of The Fly," starring Vincent Price.

We Are 138
Based on George Lucas's 1971 science fiction film "THX-1138," this song reflects the anonymity attached to living with a number for a name in a 25th century police state.

Jerry Only told a fan Aparently:
"'138' is like people being treated as androids where you have a number instead of a name, so it's like the human number would be a 138... We had buttons made once, they were robots with '138' that looked like half human android kinda things, long before your Terminator or stuff like that."

Glenn Danzig summarized it in a Twec.Com interview :
"They didn't write it, and they don't know what the f**k it's about. It's about violence."

The myth I was told :

I was always told it was Danzig playing on words, that sound like each other or ryhmn. "We are 138" becomes "We are Hate". that is was what I was told it was all about. Hey what would I know I never Wrote "We are 138".

Teenagers From Mars
Possibley influenced by the 1959 horror movie "Teenagers From Outer Space." Or possibley the 1953 movie "Invaders From Mars." Take your pick.

Bullet
The lyrics to this song, as well as the cover of the EP itself, reflect Glenn Danzig's interest in the life and death of John F. Kennedy.

She
Based on the life of Patty Hearst.

Spinal Remains / Feline Nursery
This song was performed at some of the early Misfits shows in 1977. The chorus lyric was "I'm gonna throw away the key to the feline nursery." By the time The Misfits entered the studio in January 1978, Glenn had changed the lyrics and name of this song to "Spinal Remains." The true "Feline Nursery" was never recorded.
