Some More Lost Treasures Have Been Found in Our Archives!

(Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 15, 2023)

    Right now, most of our news here at the studio would involve violating our active NDAs should we discuss them, so until a more appropriate time arrives, we're just going to see how that search through and assessing of our archives is going.

Some More Lost Treasures Found!

    Converting all of those .wps files has been a bit of a slog and will take many more months, but with those well underway and many of our files sifted through and archived, here's some more of the unusual finds that we were able to preserve for the future.

  • The photos from Jolly Roger and the Pirate Queen as...a screensaver?
  • The preliminary scripts for both Com 50 and 007 and Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Chumash
  • A very (VERY) early draft of the script for Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo (it's unfinished)
  • Several missing performance images from Mystery at Shady Acres (one of them is pictured above)
  • The unfinished and never-released book Mustache Maniacs Film Co.: A Cast of Characters
It's been a slow process, but we're just about done! In fact, there's only one more box to go through, though it's...quite the doozy.

We're Opening Rawlin N. Dough's Old Box Today!

    We've determined that we've gone through most of the studio archive, which leaves us with...that box that was left with us when disgraced LEGO Studios CFO Rawlin N. Dough was fired in 2013. He was infamous right before then for getting into arguments with New Friends ~ An Environmental Fable director Raul Flores over the film's direction (and was part of the reason for his refusal to use pop music in the film), so we can only imagine what's inside. Hopefully, it's nothing too dated...

We're Just About Through!

    Besides that, we're almost done backing up everything! Admittingly, we're glad that we did this, since we've been able to preserve some long-lost images and documents that would have otherwise been lost to time, considering how poorly those CDs have held out. And now for that last box. Here goes nothing...

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
