The 69 Eyes Releasing Graphic Novel This October
Finland’s masters of dark gothic rock, The 69 Eyes, have already announced that they will be releasing their 10th studio album, X, on Oct. 9th. In celebration of this achievement, the band has teamed up with gothic boutique publisher Seraphemera Books & Music to release a three part graphic novel series that exposes a bit of the sordid history of the band, a history that they think we readers might not be so eager to learn of…
Singer Jyrki 69 explains, “When we released our first ever 7” single in 1990, it had a 4-page mini comic book enclosed. In that comic The 69 Eyes were represented as a vampire rock band, and the daughter of Van Helsing came to pay me a visit to the backstage – armed with a wooden stake! Now some two decades later we will finally have our own comic book. The song remains the same – according to a folklore we are real vampires. How else could we have played this long?”
The first issue will be released this October. You can check out the cover art below.

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
