The Fun Ghouls are a punk band from New Brunswick, New Jersey that formed in 2004, best known not for music but for quirky short films they made and starred in. Their influences include The Misfits, Black Flag, and Nirvana. When My Chemical Romance released an album in 2010 in which each band member had an alter-ego, Frank Iero chose the name 'Fun Ghoul' in reference to The Fun Ghouls as both bands were members of the New Brunswick, New Jersey Basement Scene.
