Happy 12 Years to Us!

     It's our 12th birthday, and we have some things to unveil to celebrate! It's all related to our upcoming film Pharaoh's Quest: The Curse of Amset-Ra, so it's going to be great! Let's get started!
     First, because today is Monday, we've posted a new Wiki Mondays: Time Warp article. This one is for Pharaoh's Quest: The Curse of Amset-Ra, and while it is incomplete due to confidentiality, it still has some new information worth reading. Click here to read it for yourself.
     Also today we have not one, but two photos to share from the film. The first is the film's title treatment, made from a composite of the typefaces Centaur Bold and Akzidenz Grotesk. The homages to the original theme's title treatment are very evident in this re-interpretation.
The second is an actual screenshot from the on-going filming for the movie, which started last week. As you can see in this film, it is Archibald and Helena, rather than Jake and Helena, that go to the Cursed Cobra Statue.
And, while we may have said that the film will debut on May 27, we unfortunately will not be able to release the film that day. The new release date (subject to change) is August 19, 2016.
     Recently, we also updated the official canon in order to fit Rift into the continuity of events. Here's the new canon information.
  • Rift takes place in 2007, right before the events of Com 50-3: Raid on Central Island. The disc that Wallace Bishop retrieves at the end of Rift is then stolen by a Cuban smuggling ring working for the Illuminati (in order to cover up new technologies), who then loses the information to Com 50 in Com 50-3: Raid on Central Island. Wallace Bishop, with his information now in the hands of the CIA, then has no choice but to sign Dr. Leinad Laboratories up for a government contract to continue his work.
As always, we'll continue updating the canon, especially after the results for The Canon That Time Forgot contest come in.
     In other news, work has stalled on the additional behind the scenes content, but should be done by the end of May, with content specific to Jolly Roger and the Pirate Queen being released in June ahead of its June 17 re-release. Until then, keep checking back for more news and updates for all of our content!

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
