Iron Maiden Poster Banned For Being Too Scary For Kids
Iron Maiden‘s poster for their current Book of Souls tour has been deemed too frightening for children in Lithuania, prompting authorities to ban the advertisements. The poster, which you can see below, shows band mascot Eddie holding a bleeding heart in one hand while his eyes glow red and he snarls at the viewer.
Live Nation lawyer Mindaugas Paukštė told Delfi, “We received a letter that should stop advertising because it scares children – at the moment we think, how to behave, but, most likely, will have to remove the posters.”
There hasn’t been a replacement image made public yet for how they’re going to promote this show. However, given how big the band is across the globe, I’m pretty sure they’re not going to be hurting on ticket sales.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
