Notable_instruments = The Ghastly Ones are a surf/garage rock band from Van Nuys, California with a late night monster movie theme.

They infused their love of Halloween records, late night monster movies and Screaming Lord Sutch with inspiration from early sixites surf and hotrod acts like The Lively Ones, Avengers VI, and The Del-Aires to create the first 'spooky surf' band.

The band's first show was at Al's Bar on Halloween 1996, infamous in the punk world for several rowdy Misfits shows.During their early shows, the stage was often decorated with tombstones and cobwebs to give their performances the proper atmosphere.

Their unique sound and look caught the attention of Rob Zombie who helped get their first album released on his label Zombie-A-Go-Go Records. Subsequent albums have been released on their independent label Ghastly Plastics Corp.

The band is still active and touring and in 2007 performed for the first time on the East Coast.
