Plan 9 Records, originally known asBlank Records, was anindependent record label that was founded in 1977 byGlenn Danzig of thehorror punk bandThe Misfits. The label was discontinued in 1995.^[1]

In 1977, Danzig founded Blank Records as a means to distribute music by his newly formed band, The Misfits. However, after only one release, The Misfits' first single "Cough/Cool" (1977),Mercury Records had wanted to use the same name for a sub-label. Danzig traded Mercury the rights to the name for studio time, which The Misfits used to recordStatic Age.^[1] Needing a new name for the label, Danzig decided on Plan 9 Records, a reference to theEd Woodscience fictionfilmPlan 9 from Outer Space (1957).^[2]

The label continued to release material by The Misfits, and later solo efforts by Glenn Danzig and his post-Misfits bandSamhain. The only release not to include Danzig wasThe Victims'Victims EP in 1978.^[1]

Starting in 1987, all material was distributed byCaroline Records.^[1]

In 1995, due to a legal settlement between Danzig and Misfits bassistJerry Only, the label was discontinued.^[1]
