Murderdolls are a rock band formed in 2002. The Murderdolls line-up consists of Wednesday 13, Joey Jordison, Acey Slade, Eric Griffin and Ben Graves. Murderdolls are currently on a hiatus.

Although the Murderdolls have had limited success in the United States, Murderdolls have built up a strong following in the United Kingdom and Japan where their core fanbase lies.

The sound of the Murderdolls is made up of their shared influences, which musically are; punk rock a and glam metal, as well as from some of the 1970s hard rock and glam rock acts (Such as KISS and Alice Cooper). The Murderdolls also share a large interest in horror movies, from which they take images, and references.

Lyrically the Murderdolls most often present themselves in a "tongue-in-cheek" manner, covering topics of necrophilia, grave robbing, cross dressing, amongst other things. This is standard practise for many horror punk bands.

The Murderdolls are often described as "Motley Crue meets the Misfits" by critics and fans alike. Their bassist Eric Griffin also bears a considerable resemblance to the Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx.

Murderdolls played their most recent show on January 17, 2004 in Corona, California. After this Murderdolls went on a hiatus with Jordison returning to Slipknot. Since this hiatus begun, both 13 and Jordison have maintained that the Murderdolls have not split up for good, and that they would return to record a second album together in the future.
