Dead Man's Party is the fourth album by Oingo Boingo, released in 1985. It is considered by some to be their breakthrough, due to the inclusion of songs from this album in two movies. The title track was used in the film Back to School (wherein Boingo performs the song at a party), and includes the song "Weird Science" which was written for the John Hughes film of the same name.
