"20 Eyes" (often stylized as "20 Eyes In My Head") is another rapid-fire, high-velocity track from The Misfits' debut album, Walk Among Us (1982). Musically, it is classic early Misfits: a fast, frantic blast of punk rock energy driven by simple, aggressive bass and guitar lines. The song's theme is quintessential sci-fi horror, with the lyrics—"20 eyes in my head, and they're all the same"—suggesting a grotesque mutation, sensory overload, or the perspective of a multi-eyed creature, drawing heavily on B-movie concepts like The Eye Creature or The Fly. It's a short, punchy, and instantly recognizable example of the band's horror-punk fusion.
