    After starting our line-up of special editions 8 years ago, we are pleased to have released the very last special edition today: Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile, just in time for that film's tenth anniversary! Read on for what this means!

Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile: Special Edition Debuts to Celebrate Tenth Anniversary!
    In honor of the tenth anniversary, to the day, of the original release of Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile, we are pleased to have released a brand-new cut of this film that brings it into the modern day! While we may not have been able to do everything that we wanted to do with this film, we wanted to make sure that this film would be preserved for years to come. You can watch it now by clicking here!

No More Special Editions!
    However, we want to take the time to make sure that everyone knows that this special re-release marks the end of our line-up of special editions! Eight years ago, we started what was then called From the Vaults, which would see us re-edit our oldest films and re-release them online. In fact, during this project, we found a film that we had never released, Remember the Alamo, and overhauled it for its own re-release! Eventually, after 2014, we discontinued the From the Vaults brand after concluding Ten Years of Going Crazy! and re-released films independent of any promotion. While not all of them are still online, let's take a look back at this historic journey and look over all of the films that we've re-released since January 2012.

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
