"Return of the Fly" is a quintessential early Misfits track from the original Glenn Danzig era, recorded during the landmark Static Age sessions in 1978, though it was not officially released in its entirety until the 1990s. Musically, the song is a burst of raw, high-energy punk rock, characterized by its brisk tempo, simplistic yet driving guitar riff, and an aggressively melodic approach. At just over a minute and a half, it exemplifies the short, sharp shock of the band's initial sound. Lyrically, it is one of the most direct homages to B-movie horror in the Misfits catalog, explicitly taking its theme and title from the 1959 sequel, Return of the Fly. The lyrics are remarkably straightforward, consisting largely of Danzig repeatedly shouting the film's title and reciting the names of the movie's star, Vincent Price, and key characters (Helen Delambre, François, Cecile), giving the song an almost chant-like, visceral quality. This track perfectly captures the Misfits' foundational horror-punk blueprint: blending the stripped-down aggression of punk with an unapologetic, cult-classic cinema obsession.
