The Killer Barbies is a Spanish punk rock band fronted by singer/guitarist Silvia Superstar. After some success in Spain on the independent label Toxic Records, they got an international distribution through the German label Drakkar Records in 2000.

The band also starred in a series of two films directed by the prolific exploitation film director Jesús Franco: Killer Barbys (1996) and Killer Barbys vs. Dracula (2003).

Silvia Superstar (real name: Silvia García Pintos) and Billy King (real name: Antonio Domínguez) formed The Killer Barbies in 1994 and quickly began releasing their material on the Spanish independent label Toxic Records. They released their first album, Dressed to Kiss, in 1995. In 1996, they released a second album, ...Only for Freaks!, shortly after starring in the Jesús Franco film, Killer Barbys. They recorded a third album in 1998, Big Muff. The three albums sold more than 10,000 copies each.^[1]

After these three successful albums in Spain, the band signed to the German label Drakkar Records to get a larger audience outside Spain. In 2000, they released their international debut album Bad Taste, containing a selection of re-recorded songs from their first three albums. In 2002, they released the single "Candy", featuring a vocal participation of Bela B. of Die Ärzte fame and next released some new material with the album Sin Is In and starred in a second Jesús Franco film, Killer Barbys vs. Dracula, in 2003. Since then, they have been silent except for releasing a compilation of B-sides, Freakshow, in 2004, which also contained a DVD of the band's music videos and some live footage. That same year, Silvia Superstar was featured on the show Die drei ??? und die singende Schlange by the German comedy theater company Das Vollplaybacktheater.

The band was featured as the main characters of a series of two films directed by Jesús Franco: Killer Barbys, which was made in relation to their first album, Dressed to Kiss, in 1996, and Killer Barbys vs. Dracula, which was made in relation to their last album to date, Sin Is In, in 2003. The spelling of the band's name was changed in the films' titles because Mattel would not let them use the Barbie name.

• The Killer Barbies' song "Have Some Fun" was featured in the video game Rumble Roses as Candy Cane's entrance music.
• In Rumble Roses XX, the name "The Killer Barbies" is retained as Candy Cane's band; however, the song "Crazy!" is not the same song as The Killer Barbies' song "Crazy".
• The Killer Barbies' songs "Baby With Two Heads" and "Down the Street" were featured in the video game FlatOut.
