How come this isn't at The Misfits (movie)? I can think of one other reference which might trump the movie in terms of popularity: the punk band, 'The Misfits' who started in 1977 (see http://www.misfits.com/info/index.html) --Robert W King 10:10, 15 February 2008 (CST)

Hi Meg/Robert I agree that the band that uses the name "Misfits" is no longer the same as the one started by Glen Danzig, and company in the 1970's. I think you will find wide support on that notion. This does not mean tho that there should not be an article "The Misfits (band)", IMHO. Do a Google search and you can see what I mean. I am going to go ahead and attempt the move in accordance with our standard CZ practices. Please let me know if I don't get it correct.--David Yamakuchi 15:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

The consensus over on Wikipedia is to use "Misfits" for the band, not that I really care about the thugs and goons running that particular circus encyclopaedia. Meg Ireland 00:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
