TWIZTID AND Z2 UNVEIL “MAYHEM MANOR” ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL WITH COMPANION AUDIOBOOK + SOUNDTRACK

DETROIT, MICHIGAN, USA (July 8, 2025) — Twiztid have leveled-up their Haunted High-Ons saga, teaming with Z2 to produce a brand new story and jumping off point with the MAYHEM MANOR graphic novel and companion soundtrack. Mayhem Manor takes the hip-hop, horror, and heavy metal fiends higher than ever before, in a lush, deluxe format.

With a jaw-dropping cover illustration by legendary album artist Ed Repka (Megadeth, Death), story by Ryan J. Downey (Ice Nine Kills’ Inked in Blood II: Once Upon a Crime), and art by Marianna Penacosta (Haunted High-Ons), and Stan Yak (Gwar: The Return of Gor-Gor), Mayhem Manor sees the Demented Duo of Jamie Madrox and Monoxide hoping to survive the night in a haunted amusement park to claim a mysterious inheritance.

“Our newest adventure, Mayhem Manor, is sure to be an instant classic, broadening the Haunted High-Ons Universe,” Madrox promises. “While Ryan’s story is a wonderfully wicked jump on point for any potential new readers, it is also familiar enough to keep diehard fans of Haunted High-Ons engaged. Not to mention what Z2 has cooked up for this one. It’s fixin’ to be massive! I can’t wait for y’all to experience this newest chapter.”

The Deluxe versions of the Mayhem Manor graphic novel includes an exclusive vinyl soundtrack; Featuring an audio-rendition of Mayhem Manor on one side, (Narrated and performed by Madrox and Monoxide of Twiztid.) while the album’s B-side features two new exclusive Twiztid songs in honor of Mayhem Manor!

“I’ve become a huge fan of Twiztid’s work over the years, and I know for a fact that these guys are genuine comic book fans, like myself,” says Downey. “They treat everyone around them like family, from the people behind the scenes, to their devoted fans, so collaborating with them was, unsurprisingly, an absolute dream. I hope people who love vintage horror, comedy, ghosts, Scooby Doo, and KISS will find something to enjoy in Mayhem Manor. The mighty Ed Repka? He painted the covers for some of the most important albums in my collection. I believe we’ve done justice to the past, present, and future of Twiztid comics.”

Twiztid will also be appearing at the Z2 Booth (#1529) at the San Diego Comic Con International. Madrox and Monoxide will be there signing SDCC exclusive art prints. Signing days and times to be announced next week.
