(1) From Beyond -- Based on the Stewart Gordon film by the same name, about two scientists who summon creatures from another dimension by stimulating their pineal glands! One of the scientists is mutated into a sex hungry mutant while the other develops a thirst for blood. Although this one was from the late 80’s, it has all of the elements of a perfect drive-in film. This movie has people melting, extreme gore, weird creatures, mad scientists, and Barbara Crampton in a thong! We tried to add elements of German thrash bands like Sodom and Destruction for this opening song to give the listener a bit of a slap in the face right off the bat.

(2) Night of the Creeps -- This was one of the best horror films from the 1980’s and is finally making it to DVD this year. Half of the film is set in the 50’s where an escaped mental patient is terrorizing kids at lookout point with a fire axe, somewhere along the line the killer’s brain is infected by an alien worm that turns him into a walking corpse. Fast forward to the 80’s where the killers corpse is cryogenically frozen at a research facility. A botched fraternity prank and the corpse is thawed out, the virus spreads, and we get well-dressed frat boy zombies terrorizing girls at a school dance! This is a more traditional Renfields song like “Prom Night” or “Night of the Living Dead”, very poppy, very 1950’s influenced.

(3) The New York Ripper -- A MUST SEE for fans of gore and smut! A blood soaked Italian Slasher/Giallo hybrid about a deranged murderer who quacks like a duck! This film is absolutely relentless, gritty, and cold. To reflect the tone I chose to do some goregrind vocals on the verses while the Fiend does some very inspired “quacking” vocals at the end. 100% influenced by bands like Impetigo and Autopsy.

(4) Danger: Diabolic -- A psychedelic, Italian spy film about  a super criminal from the 1960’s. While it’s not exactly a horror film it was directed by genius horror director Mario Bava. Without a doubt a drive-in classic! Pure Ramones influenced punk rock.

(5) Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS -- If there is one film that definitively represents exploitation in my mind it’s Ilsa, a true “video nasie” about a Nazi P.O.W. camp run by a leather-clad vixen bent on proving feminine supremacy. In an effort to prove that women are the true master race, Ilsa performs horrendous “experiments” on many of the camp’s prisoners (all of which include gratuitous nudity and gore). The final act involves a dramatic prison break where we see Nazi scum dispatched by an army of female experiment victims and castrated allied soldiers! Without a doubt the only way to go with this song was psychobilly, or at least as psychobilly as the Renfields get. Plus we have a lot of awesome vocals from Jaymee Lee since it’s a song about feminine domination.

(6) Dead Beat at Dawn -- An ultra-violent revenge film by Jim Van Bebber. A nunchuck wielding street kid named Goose attempts to leave his gang, resulting in the murder of his girlfriend. This sends Goose on an insane kung fu rampage through the streets of Dayton Ohio! For this one we have a mix of old thrash and street punk, lots of sing alongs and gang vocals for all the kids wearing bullet belts.

(7) We had a hidden track on Stalk and Slash Pt. 1 so we have decided to continue the tradition. This time we chose a Venom song (Countess Bathory) because they had a very DIY ethic and really incorporated thrash and punk rock in their music,a s we are trying to incorporate a lot of different styles on this EP. Instead of doing a straightforward cover we gave Jaymee Lee all of the verses and did gang vocals for the choruses.
