Die, Die My Darling is an EP by The Misfits, released in 1984, shortly after the band's breakup. The title likely comes from the 1965 Hammer horror film Fanatic, the U.S. title of which is "Die! Die! My Darling!". The artwork for the LP sleeve is a modified copy of the cover of Chamber Of Chills #19 (published by Harvey Comics, September 1953).
The EP's tracks are also included on some pressings of the Earth A.D. album, although the "Die, Die My Darling" itself had been recorded much earlier, during the 1981 sessions for the Walk Among Us album. The Misfits were going to re-record the song, but abandoned the idea due to time constraints. The 1981 recording was remixed so that its sound would match that of the later 'Earth A.D.' era recordings.
The title track was covered by Metallica on their 1998 Garage Inc. album. It was also covered by Aiden for a free Kerrang! CD, High Voltage!: A Brief History of Rock and their EP Rain in Hell.
"Die, Die My Darling" is also the name of a Misfits tribute band featuring members of Bleeding Through and Eighteen Visions. They were profiled in the October 2006 issue of Revolver magazine.
