Original photo taken by photographer Joe Szkodzinski for the first time in Japan GLENN DANZIG photo session backstage at Misfits October 31, 1980 live show at Irving Plaza in New York City. This is the first photo in Japan that has not been published in the recently released book of the same photo. This is the first live show where DOYLE, a longtime MISFITS fan, joined the band as a guitarist, and this documentary captures the historic debut live show where the original MISFITS legend of GLENN DANZIG, JERRY ONLY, and DOYLE began. Glen Danzig was 25, Jerry was 21, and Doyle was just 16 years old when he made his stage debut. The following year, in April 1981, the band released “HALLOWEEN” and in October 1981, “3 HITS FROM HELL”, the moment when the DEVILOCK hair style was established and the MISFITS’ rapid rise to fame began. Signed and credited to Joseph Szkodzinski, photographer.

Joseph Szkodzinski: Joseph Szkodzinski, who grew up in Queens, NY in the 1960s, is a photographer who has photographed New York nightclubs and numerous band shows in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bands he photographed during that time include Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys, NewYork Dolls, Johnny Thunders, The Clash, BAUHAUS, Steel Pulse, Screaming Jay Hawkins, TALKING HEADS, and DICTATORS, and many more.
He studied photography and art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, graduating with a BFA in photography in 1981. Since then, he has worked as a staff photographer for Image Bank, Getty Images, and the NYPD, and has also freelanced and contributed to newspapers and magazines. Joe Sokodzinski has taken his camera into the back alleys and backrooms of 1970s New York City to capture street photography that captures obvious moments of reality. His black-and-white photographs, such as one of a battered boxer staring at his reflection in a dirty gym mirror, show the grit of New York when it was still tough. It represents New York before Giuliani, before chain stores, and before loft developers.
