     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.

Image
By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; March 6, 2011)      It's time for another edition of Tales of the Adventurers. But before we begin, here is the answer to the previous challenge: Unwanted Guest.      In the third panel, Lord Sinister is poking out from behind some crates on the dock. How did he find out about the treasure? This could turn ugly!      Now, here is the latest comic. The next challenge will be presented afterwards.      Here is today's challenge: Coordinate Confusion.      Use the navigation map in the comic to pinpoint the exact coordinates of where the Adventurers and Deep Sea Salvage Crew need to go (this one may be a little too easy!).      In other news, details have been revealed about the new cartoons the studio announced two months ago. The new cartoons will be a series called Freddy and Joey . Based on original bedtime stories, ...

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

Image
  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 me...
