Featuring the Misfits 1977 photographs by Paul Till:

The Misfits trekked from New Jersey to Toronto for their 7th ever show and only their 4th show with a guitar player. It was the first time they played outside of the NJ and NY area. Luckily, professional photographer Paul Till – best known for shooting the cover art for Bob Dylan's Blood On The Tracks album from 1972 – was there to capture the event. 

Recently retired, Paul's lengthy career covered photographing a ton of live music for NOW Magazine including many of Toronto's earliest punk shows. His original prints of photos taken during The Misfits show at Toronto's Shock Theatre on December 22, 1977 and others will be on display and for sale.

Live music will be provided by Hamilton's ghoulish theremin-loving band, Night Chill! Tickets are $10 available here. Check out a couple of creepy Night Chill clips below.
