     In a surprise all its own, Mustache Maniacs Film Co.'s latest promotion, "Summer of Surprises," has officially debuted! "We know a lot of people are looking forward to the release of Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients next July," said LEGO Studios CEO Mark Matthew. "So we have been running these promotions, including Vacation: Unlimited, to help our fans stay busy as we finish the movie." In the case of "Summer of Surprises," we'll be releasing several surprise videos, entries to the Vacation: Unlimited Travel Journal, press releases, and more. The only catch is that you won't see it coming! They will all be released without prior notice and very suddenly. Become a Facebook fan today in order to be informed of all these surprises when they are released!
     In other news, filming for Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients is progressing smoothly. The crew is almost done with the filming that needs to be done in Zimbabwe, with only the train sequence needing to be finished. From there, the crew will film all of the shots for the airplane, then will head up to Romania for the next few sequences of the movie. "We may have fallen behind schedule for the filming, but we are certain that we will have the film finished in time," said director Steven Lawrence. The film will be released July 2014.
     Back at the studio, animators are getting ready to begin work on LEGO Island: The Animated Series, Freddy and Joey in Corn Farm, and Seeing Eye Robber. "We are very certain that work will begin on these three projects by the end of the month," said Drawn to Life Animation head Steve Brocko. "Animation takes a long time to work on, so we want to get an early start on these projects, even though we still have over a year to go before their release." These three projects will debut fall 2014.
     We conclude with a reminder to vote for your favorites for The Second Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards! Click here to see the entire list of nominees and instructions on how to cast your vote. The awards ceremony will air winter 2014.

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
