Fright-Rags Launches Horror Anthology Comic TALES FROM THE MORGUE: “After over two decades of horror movie apparel and collectibles, Fright-Rags is delivering original tales of terror.
Fright-Rags Presents: Tales from the Morgue, an all-new horror anthology comic, is launching just in time for Halloween in partnership with American Mythology Comics.
The Fantom, Fright-Rags’ resident ghoul, guides readers through two original nightmares across 32 full-color pages.
In “Pyromaniac,” a force of consuming hatred believes fire can cleanse the world — no matter what burns in his path. In “Maul Santa,” a dying shopping mall’s longtime Santa finally snaps on Christmas eve.
The debut issue is S.A. Check, and G.O. Parsons and features artwork by E.V. Cantada and Emanuele Tommarelli
Fright-Rags is selling an exclusive limited edition featuring cover art by Justin Osbourn. His retro-inspired artwork is also available on shirts.
Additional covers by Roy Allan Martinez, Buz Hasson, Puis Calzada, and Gabriel Mangum will hit comic shops nationwide beginning October 28.
“Comics were a huge part of how I fell in love with horror, so telling our own stories, with the Fantom as our host, is a dream come true,” said Fright-Rags founder Ben Scrivens. “These are original tales we’ve been cooking up for a long time, and we can’t wait for fans to dig in.”
Tales from the Morgue #1 is on sale now at Fright-Rags.com.”
GLASS EYE PIX PALOOZA-CON Erupts in Manhattan NOVEMBER 7: “Glass Eye Pix is proud to announce the first-ever Glass Eye Pix Palooza-Con (aka GEP-CON), a one-day-only brick-and-mortar store located in the heart of Manhattan – celebrating 40 years of Larry Fessenden’s iconic NYC production company. The convention / party / pop-up store happens in conjunction with the IFC Center’s Optic Nerve screening series, which celebrates 40 years of Glass Eye Pix, featuring select work by Ti West, Jim Mickle, and Glenn McQuaid, as well as Larry Fessenden’s acclaimed Monster Quadrilogy.
GEP-CON will take place at Ideal Glass Studios, located at 9 West 8th Street, from noon until 11:00PM on November 7th. The store will feature mountains of Glass Eye Pix films, including Blu-Rays and 4K discs from Vinegar Syndrome and Dark Sky Films, hard-to-find VHS tapes, and other assorted rarities. Also for sale will be Blu-Rays from the new Glass Eye Pix video label, featuring early work by Ti West, James Felix McKenney, and Graham Reznick.
Glass Eye Pix Palooza-Con will feature curated displays of costumes and props from GEP films going back to the 1990s. The event’s walls will feature posters chronicling Glass Eye’s decades-long journey, dating all the way back to Fessenden’s time in the late 1980s, chronicling East Village performance artist and stuntman David Leslie (aka The Impact Addict).
In addition to films, GEP-CON will sell brand new t-shirts and handcrafted Wendigo figurines sculpted by James Felix McKenney. Also available are CDs and vinyl editions of various scores, Fessenden’s pub rock band Just Desserts, and other rarities. A back catalog of Glass Eye Comix will be purchasable, alongside the debut of The Damned and the Dangerous, a thrilling new one-shot graphic novel from Glenn McQuaid and Ted Geoghegan, illustrated by the legendary Brahm Revel.
Proving it’s far more than simply a pop-up event, a number of eye-catching digital displays throughout Glass Eye Pix Palooza-Con will feature mini-documentaries, rare behind-the-scenes footage, creepy Christmas films, sizzle reels, shorts, and rare features in the auditorium section of the venue. Attending, signing, and yes, even working the register at GEP-CON will be a litany of Glass Eye founders, filmmakers, alumni, and extended family members.
As evening descends upon the space, GEP-CON will shift focus to live events, including a performance of a brand-new episode of Glenn McQuaid and Larry Fessenden’s celebrated audio drama series, Tales from Beyond the Pale, featuring a cast of special guests. Music and additional acts will follow, and the evening will end with a rousing birthday celebration of the Glass Eye Pix legacy.
Optic Nerve: A Tribute to Glass Eye Pix runs from October 28 through November 3 at Manhattan’s IFC Center (323 6th Avenue). Fessenden’s acclaimed latest, Trauma or, Monsters All, arrives in cinemas the following day.
Glass Eye Pix Palooza-Con, located at Ideal Glass Studio (9 West 8th Street), will take place from noon until 11:00PM on Saturday, November 7, 2026. It celebrates the company’s wonderful accomplishments, while offering the public a unique opportunity to witness GEP’s legacy first-hand. Larry Fessenden founded Glass Eye Pix with a singular desire – to make independent-minded cinema. Walking through this convention / party / pop-up store will offer an intimate look behind the curtain of Glass Eye Pix’s stunning body of film work, created at a time and place in the heart of New York City.”
Occult Incorporated #2 — The Finale — Now Live on Kickstarter: “Independent creator Michael Cornell Edwards has launched the Kickstarter campaign for *Occult Incorporated #2*, the concluding chapter of his supernatural horror comic series.

In the series finale, Amana Bello and her company must stop a great demon from being unleashed — and save her family — in a descent into hell. The story that began with issue #1 resolves here.
“Amana Bello’s story has been building to this moment,” said Edwards. “Issue #2 is the descent into hell — and I wanted the finale to land in the hands of the readers who’ve been with this series from the start.”
The issue is published under Edwards’s Midnight Drive imprint and Second Sight Publishing carrying an all-ages rating. The creative team includes **Wee** on art, **Woods** on colors, and **Birch** on letters, with Edwards on story and Bradley Golden as the Editor.
