Studio Update: VIP Halloween Party, Johnny Thunder 3 filming to begin and more.

     November has just arrived, little kids are enjoying their Halloween candy, Festival of Souls 2 is now over, and it's time for another Studio Update! Let's get started!
     It has been confirmed that filming for Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients will begin on November 3rd! The cast and crew are currently setting up in Egypt to film the movie's prologue. "Even though the film does not take place in Egypt, this shot will certainly help set the mood for the film," said director Steven Lawrence. "Actually, the prologue for this film is like the prologues for the first two Johnny Thunder films combined. It starts with an ancient tale and concludes with a murder." The prologue is set to finish filming by the end of the year.
     Also, the release dates for the next Tales of the Adventurers and Gone Ice Fishin' have been set back. The next Tales of the Adventurers is set to debut this weekend and Gone Ice Fishin' has been pushed back possibly to December 9th.
     But the big news was the studio's big Halloween party. Not a lot of special things were done during the party (it was conducted during a normal class period), but it proved to be super popular. Work was done on Gone Ice Fishin' at this time, but the main event was the screening of Forest of Fear. Besides the usual students and teacher for the class, the film's star, Raul Flores, was also in attendance. Some of the guests even came in costume.
From left to right: Maggie Behrens as Flounder from The Little Mermaid, Andrew Bermudez as Basil from Mystery at Shady Acres, Nathan Crookston as Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games, Bryce Bolick as a werewolf, Nick Bub as Count Dracula, and Hannah Ganter as Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
     After the film's screening, Andrew Bermudez not only reminded the guests to visit the Mustache Maniacs Film Co. website, but also hinted at a game coming soon to the site. It was described as being, "made around a song stuck in my head and a traditional animation from earlier this year. Dang it. Now that song is stuck in my head again."
     Finally, the website is almost done with its expansion! However, the next Ask Mark Matthew has been pushed off towards the middle of the month so people have more time to ask questions. If you have any questions, send them to our YouTube account and they could be answered in the next Ask Mark Matthew!

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
