Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zombie Hunter formed in Chicago in 1986 with Spike Bowen on vocals, Kip Strange on guitar, Jake Bones on bass, and Tom Skull on drums. Their debut album 'Night of the Living Dead' came out the following year. The band's 1990 album 'They're Coming To Get You, Barbara' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming their most recognizable song.
Their music leans into horror themes with heavy riffs and atmospheric keyboards. Beyond 'They're Coming To Get You, Barbara,' other tracks like 'A Grand Occasion To Drink Myself To Sleep' and 'Kids' show their range within that style. They developed a cult following through live shows, though some critics initially dismissed them as a novelty act.
The original lineup stayed together for their early records. Their sound built around Bowen's vocals, Strange's guitar work, Bones's basslines, and Skull's drumming. They kept making music in this vein despite occasional criticism about their use of horror themes.
