Famous Monsters is a 1999 album by The Misfits.

It is the second in the "post-Danzig era" of the band; it's also the last album of new material with new frontman Michale Graves who would quit the band in 2000.

The song "Scream!" was turned into a music video directed by George A. Romero. In addition, the band appeared in Romero's film Bruiser. Kong at the Gates was the theme music for WCW alumnus Vampiro.
