A Vampire’s Bad Day

     Today may not be a good day for Dracula, the location manager, runner and blood-sucking lawyer for the new Johnny Thunder movie. It appears that the Lego Studios board of directors may terminate his contract.
     “He was sometimes a bad sport on the set,” stated Peter Philips, the film’s producer. “But that was nothing compared to what happened three days ago.”
     Here’s what happened: The Lego Studios board of directors decided that since Dracula played a minor role in the production in the film, and that he killed two people during production, he would not be participating in the premiere’s red carpet event. Once Dracula head this, he got enraged and demanded that he walk down the red carpet. If he didn’t, he was going to suck out the blood of the studio’s treasurer. He was allowed to walk down the red carpet, but there was a chance that his contract would be terminated.
     “It’s not fair,” said Dracula, “it was such a fun experience and I’m just dying to work on the sequel. Even Steven said that I was a joy to work with.”
     There is currently no news on the status of Dracula’s contract, but if anything does happen, we’ll let you know.

The Year in Review: 2023

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; December 31, 2023)      As another year comes to a close, we're taking a look back over what happened this year. We were pretty quiet in the build-up to Twenty Years Young , but we did still have a substantial amount of content this past year. January     To kick off the new year,  Hunted: A (Not) Bigfoot Story  was released on January 8. This tale of a hillbilly with overgrown hair and the campers who think that he's bigfoot was created for THAC 2023. While the film did not win any prizes, it did become just one of many entries in the record-breaking competition that will have you stomping with laughter. We also began an audit of the studio archives as part of a final push to finish content for Twenty Years Young , as well as geared up to plow through the projects planned for this year. February     One of those projects,  Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear , officially debuted on February 1! This special project r

Original Classics as They Were are Returning with "Original Cuts," Coming April 18, 2024!

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 31, 2024)     Even in the midst of this celebration, we've just revealed some new ways to celebrate the day-of twentieth anniversary of Mustache Maniacs Film Co.! In addition to some new music albums and the release of artwork from our canceled projects, we're also introducing a new project titled Original Cuts ! What is the Special Project  Original Cuts ?      Long story short, Original Cuts  is a special project that aims to preserve classic Mustache Maniacs Film Co. movies as they were originally released. We realized during the backup of the physical archive last year that these DVDs are progressively getting worse for wear, and with 2015's DVD Archival Project only backing up the special editions of all of these films, these original versions were at risk of being lost forever. Something had to be done, which is where Original Cuts  comes into play.     As mentioned, outside of updating the branding
