Seattle pioneer grunge band Green River admired them and recognised Tales of Terror as worthy predecessors by covering one of their songs as a tribute.

Local college radio stations would often play their songs, for instance "Over Elvis Worship".

Alex Vincent, Green River's drummer, attended high school (Encina) with Magner, while he was in Sacramento, California band the Square Cools, for two years before moving to Seattle.

Crystal Fairy, a band featuring members of The Melvins, At The Drive In and Le Butcherettes, covered the song "Possession", renamed "Posesión", on their self-titled 2017 album.
