Studio Update: Welcome to The Harrowing Howling Hollow!

Image
    By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; October 1, 2024)      Did you know that our most-watched film is NOT Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo ? It's actually the horror-comedy film Forest of Fear , which first debuted in 2011 to polarizing opinions, but also to strong viewership. Since then, the film has spawned its own sequel, a spin-off film, an in-development prequel, an in-universe travel guide, and a special project that turns the film's locale into a functioning theme park land! Since there's so much to cover in this corner of the cinematic universe, we're devoting an entire month to the town of Howling Hollow! The Harrowing Howling Hollow : What to Expect for October      Howling Hollow was originally designed to be a creepy hillbilly town but has really grown into a living, breathing place with its own history and community! This month may not completely cover the town, but here's everything that's releasing this month

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; September 1, 2024)     It's been over a decade since we ran our first-ever film school/game show/contest competition, The Film School Challenge .

"Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo" Has Returned!

Image
By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; August 23, 2024)     For several years, there has been one hypothetical special edition that has lingered out of sight ever since From the Vaults  debuted in 2012. Today, twelve years after the question was first brought up, Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo: Special Edition  has finally debuted! This and more are below! Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo: Special Edition  has Debuted!     For years, it was considered controversial to even think about touching  Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo , even as other films of ours were going under the knife and coming out of From the Vaults  in an almost unrecognizable form. It was, after all, the film that created the online network and our fanbase, so it has a very special, almost sacred, place in our repertoire of content. However, as technology progressed and our arsenal of tools expanded, as well as a changing world and the advent of Twenty Years Yo

Revel in the Sounds of "William's Bell Overture: The Symphony of the Realities," Coming September 27, 2024!

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; July 22, 2024)     In a surprise twist, Bricks In Motion's summer contest started early, and in another surprise twist, it's a music focused competition titled "Musical World." That leads to yet another surprise twist: we have another short film in the pipeline that we didn't expect to even exist a year ago! William's Bell Overture: The Symphony of the Realities  is Coming September 27!     Considering the unique parameters of "Musical World" and the cinematic universe's expansion with a new corner titled William's Bell Overture  (it's a series of "what if" spin-off stories related to Dino Attack: Saga of a Conflict  and Dino Attack RPG ), we're using this music-inspired competition to create a brand-new short film titled William's Bell Overture: The Symphony of the Realities . Rather than being a "what if" story of its own, the film is going to exp
