By the 1980’s punk fashion had evolved completely, no longer worn just to shock but to function as well. Chuck Taylors and combat boots were often paired with thrift store T’s, leather jackets and torn jeans. Punks ... showed that rebellious “do it yourself” attitude by writing band names and slogans on their T-shirts with marker. Hair during this time became even bolder. Mohawks, crew cuts, Liberty Spikes and shaven heads grew very popular, along with having extensive body piercings and tattoos.

The best example of horror punk fashion can be found in the band The Misfits. While looking somewhat similar to other late-1970s punk rock bands and fans, the band took a darker approach to its style. They wore items such as black clothing, skeleton costumes, skull face paint — and styled their hair into devilocks. Horror punk style is similar to goth and deathrock fashions, in that black is the predominant color, and that individuals often incorporate "sexy" items such as fishnet stockings, corsets and elaborate make-up for men and women. The use of occult and horror imagery is prevalent on T-shirts, buttons, patches and jewellery. Hair may be in mohawk form, teased out, or in the devilock style.
