     At long last, after waiting several months for its re-release, Mystery at Shady Acres has returned better than before! "While it is not Mustache Maniacs Film Co.'s best film, I am still certain that the film will prove to be popular with our fan base, the original actors from the play, and those who are looking into putting on a performance of this suspenseful, yet comedic, play," said LEGO Studios CEO Mark Matthew. "The intermission game, Shady Acres Super Sleuth, should also be popular. With so much work being put into Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients and Late for the Soccer Match, it was important for us to re-release this film in order to help our fans wait out the long period needed to make these two movies." An alternative version of this film, titled The Drama Zone: Nightmare at Shady Acres, will be out October 26th, just in time for Halloween.
     In other news, the filming for Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients has slowed down due to the crowds in London who had come to watch the Olympics. However, now that the Olympics have ended and the crowds have dispersed, filming will pick up speed again. "We are glad that the crowd levels have died down," said director Steven Lawrence. "Now we can resume work on the exciting chase scene we've been working on." Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients will be released summer 2014.
     On the other hand, Late for the Soccer Match has been moving along nicely for its Fall release into the Bricksinmotion.com contest, Kitchen Sink. Director Seth Masterson is elated about this progress and is confident about its success. Next week, a major portion of the filming will be done downtown. A teaser will be released next month before its submission into the contest. The film will be released publicly on October 19th and will be our first film to have 3-D options available when it is released.
     With all of this filming that is being done aside, be sure to check out Mystery at Shady Acres on our YouTube channel.

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
