It was the product of a January 1982 recording session at Quad Teck in Los Angeles, California in which Glenn Danzig, for the most part, remixed previously recorded songs, overdubbing additional guitar tracks. Danzig also recorded new vocals for "Vampira" and mixed for the first time the live recording of "Mommy Can I Go Out & Kill Tonight?" that was recorded at the same time as the Evilive release.

The majority of the songs were originally recorded in a variety of sessions throughout early 1981 at the Mix-O-Lydian Studio in Boonton, New Jersey. The dates of these sessions are unknown, but they were all mixed at one time. "Vampira", "Devils Whorehouse", and "Astro Zombies" were recorded and mixed separately at Mix-O-Lydian in August of 1981. "Hatebreeders" was recorded in June of 1981 at Newsoundland in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. "Mommy Can I Go Out & Kill Tonight?", the only live track on the album, was recorded on December 17, 1981 at the Ritz in New York, New York.

The cover for Walk Among Us features the famous "Rat-Bat-Spider" that menaces the intrepid astronauts in 1959's Angry Red Planet. The flying saucers were obtained from 1956's Earth Versus The Flying Saucers. The title itself is, perhaps, a reference to the 1956 film The Creature Walks Among Us, the third Creature from the Black Lagoon feature. The first LP pressing has a pink cover with a pink logo, while the second pressing's cover is purple with a pink logo. Angry Red Planet can refer to: The Angry Red Planet, a 1959 science fiction film directed by Ib Melchior and produced by Sidney W. Pink. ...

Reissues since 1988 in all formats have featured the purple cover with a green logo. Strangely, the CD insert contains a picture of the 1979 lineup of the band with Bobby Steele and Joey Image, who didn't play on the album, instead of actual performers Doyle and Googy.

However, recent reissues of the CD have in fact contained Doyle and Googy in the insert, as opposed to Steele and Image.

Bootleg Pressings

A pressing of this album was issued sometime in 2006 as a Double-7". The vinyl is green with blank yellow/orange center labels. The etchings bare the mark "FTW 13" and a side etching "A", "B", "C", & "D" respectively. The artwork seems to be an exact duplicate of the original Ruby pressing, with the major difference being that the artwork is in green monotone. Inner artwork was not included. The sound quality is not far off from a well-played copy of the original pressing.
