Principal photography of both Mihmiverse films currently in production ("Queen of Snakes" and "Guns of the Apocalypse") has begun!

As of the publication of this newsletter, (if one were to go strictly by number of scenes in either script), a full fourth of "Queen of Snakes" and a third of "Guns of the Apocalypse" are "in the can!" Editing of both films is ongoing and, should everything work out, one—or possibly both—will be released by the end of the year! To get us even MORE excited for these upcoming movies, writer/director Christopher R. Mihm was kind enough to share exclusive images from each film. Check them out below!

The first still comes from "Queen of Snakes" and was filmed at the Heights Theater, where every Mihmiverse premiere has taken place since "The Monster of Phantom Lake!" In this image, actors Rachel Grubb (Amy/Hagra/Leisl) and Daniel R. Sjerven (Howard Johnson/Cpt. Frehley) appear to be awkwardly waiting for the start of a movie. However, upon closer inspection, the more interesting thing seems to be the number of Mihmiverse references happening in the background! Can you spot them all?


In the second image (below), we get a first look at "Guns of the Apocalypse" stars Alice Mihm (as Hope) and Kira Pontiff (as Faith). We're not entirely sure what their characters are hiding from but, based on the looks on their faces, whatever it is can't be good!

Directed by Richard E. Cunha
Starring Irish McCalla, Tod Griffin and Victor Sen Yung

An "All American" hunk, a blonde bombshell and an Asian guy stuck making offensive and stereotypical jokes ("jumpin' wontons!") are shipwrecked on an uncharted island. Not only do they find themselves at ground zero of a planned atomic test, but ALSO in the middle of an escaped Nazi doctor's experiment in which he turns beautiful women into monsters in search of a "cure" for his wife's disfiguration. "She Demons" was a cheap B-picture made by Astor Pictures to complete a double feature which included the director's other film, "Giant from the Unknown." The film was intended to comedically mimic the kinds of stories found in men's "adventure magazines" popular at the time, and definitely comes off as lurid and exploitative (at least by the standards of the era). The script is generally abysmal and the acting and direction aren't much better. However, as an example of a movie SO BAD it crosses that magic line and becomes good, you can do worse than "She Demons." It should be noted, however, that a lot of the humor is NOT politically correct by modern standards. Because of that, I can't really RECOMMEND this film, but, if you, like me, have seen everything else released during the era of drive-in cinema, this is worth at least one viewing, but ONLY if you're a cheesy-late-1950s-movie completist!

If you're like most people these days, you tend to stream your favorite TV shows and movies, particularly because it's way more convenient and you have access to them in more places! Did you know there are now several places to stream the entire Mihmiverse catalog?

From the movie that started it all, "The Monster of Phantom Lake," to its musical offshoot, "The Monster of Phantom Lake: The Musical!," and the most recent release, "Annihilate All Humans!," everything you need to "visit" the denizens of Phantom Lake County is available for your streaming pleasure!


The ENTIRE filmography of writer/director Christopher R. Mihm (including "Annihilate All Humans!") is available through the Mihmiverse Vimeo VOD portal!

Every film is presented using the same ultra high-quality renders used for the official Blu-Ray releases and actually feeds video content to the Drive-in Monsters Roku channel. Most importantly, the Mihmiverse Vimeo VOD portal is the ONLY PLACE to legally own the films digitally!


Retro-style monster movies from the wild & weird imagination of cult filmmaker Christopher R. Mihm! From giant, rampaging spiders to alien invasions and bug-eyed horrors, the Drive-in Monsters channel includes the entire catalog of Mr. Mihm's films, exclusive extras, and long lost special features originally released on currently out-of-print physical media! Explore the worldwide underground cult phenomenon known as the "Mihmiverse" and enjoy the rebirth of the golden age of "drive-in cinema" with the Drive-in Monsters channel!

As of right now, the channel is free... but that, most likely, will not last forever! So make sure to enjoy the Drive-in Monsters Roku channel while it's still completely free of charge!


Most of the films of the Mihmiverse are available on Amazon Video. Sadly, as Amazon continues to revise and rewrite its policies, they have downgraded the entire Mihmiverse catalog from "available with Prime" to rental only. Though this wasn't entirely unexpected—given the way the service has been slowly ridding itself of the films of Christopher R. Mihm—we CANNOT guarantee they will still be there on any given day! So, if Amazon is your preferred place to watch the Mihmiverse, enjoy it while it lasts!

NOTE: Amazon has barred writer/director Christopher R. Mihm (and MANY other independent filmmakers) from adding any new films to their service. As far as we have been able to figure out, the service is taking a more "curated" approach to its catalog and, unfortunately, does not have any more room for the cheesy goodness of the Mihmiverse! Therefore, if you're interested in watching the newest films of the Mihmiverse, we highly recommend checking out the Mihmiverse Roku channel, Drive-in Monsters!

Mihmiverse DVDs & Blu-Rays are now available at SaintEuphoria.com, the online home of the films of Christopher R. Mihm. In addition, exclusive movie posters, collectibles and other merchandise are now in stock. Everything is available in extremely limited quantities, so get yours today before they run out!
