The 2016 Riot Fest gathering in Denver marked the historical return of the original Misfits core—Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only, and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein—sharing a stage for the first time in over thirty years. The live lineup was rounded out by drummer Dave Lombardo and guitarist Acey Slade.

Designed as a multi-frame contact sheet, this print compiles a sequential timeline of the performance, documenting stage movement, physical posture, and group dynamics across their catalog. It serves as a visual record of a foundational horror punk institution.

Captured on September 4, 2016, during The Misfits’ reunion set at Riot Fest Denver, this frame isolates an unscripted, candid moment between Glenn Danzig and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein mid-performance.

Marking their first live performances together since 1983, the shot contrasts Danzig’s stage movement with Doyle’s heavy visual presence in stark black and white.
