With the world premiere of "The Wad: The True Story Behind the Phantom Lake County Chewing Gum Disaster" just over a month away, writer/director Christopher R. Mihm—and the new project's hard-working cast & crew!—have been incredibly busy filming the 20th (!) Mihmiverse film, "Three Bad Girls Who Find a Gun and Become Vampires!"

Principal photography of this next movie began in early May and, in a twist few saw coming, will most likely be complete BEFORE the world premiere of THIS YEAR'S Mihmiverse movie! To say Mr. Mihm is "ahead of the curve" on this project is a gigantic understatement! In fact, to date, only one other Mihmiverse movie had completed principal photography before the release of the film it followed, and that was 2019's "Queen of Snakes," a feat only made possible then because it was filmed simultaneously with 2018's "Guns of the Apocalypse!"

Regardless, should principal photography of "Three Bad Girls Who Find a Gun and Become Vampires" continue apace, it will share the distinction of being only the second Mihmiverse movie to accomplish this particular achievement—that is if you don't include the release-date strangeness caused by the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020... but that's an entirely different story!

In the meantime, Mr. Mihm was kind enough to provide the following still from the new movie, which clearly shows fan-favorite actor James Norgard going "full vampire." In the film Mr. Norgard's character is named "Pastor Goodman" and it is spelled out in the movie's synopsis that he is "an immortal, blood-sucking creature of the night." Also, since this film is meant to pay homage to the filmography of the Coen brothers, his character's name is no doubt a reference to the many appearances of actor John Goodman in their catalog.

Based on how cool Mr. Norgard looks with fangs, we're growing more and more excited to see how this next movie shapes up!



In "Three Bad Girls Who Find a Gun and Become Vampires," which writer/director Christopher R. Mihm refers to as an ode to "teensploitation" films of the 1950s and the cinematic oeuvre of the Coen Brothers, three female juvenile delinquents obtain a firearm and, just for the thrill of it, start robbing the fine folks of New Berlin. Unfortunately, their crime spree takes an unexpected turn after they mug and nearly murder the gambling-addicted pastor of the local church—who turns out to be an immortal, blood-sucking creature of the night! Hijinks ensue when the vampiric padre hires a pair of hitmen to help him retrieve his stolen cash and seek revenge against the three bad girls responsible!

In celebration of the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Horse, we present the following receipe for a satisfyingly sweet street food from Korea. The first time I tried one of these tasty treats was at an open market in Seoul, South Korea. They were so delicious I had to buy two more! They are best enjoyed during the winter months and served warm.


Dough:

• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp dried yeast
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup glutinous rice flour
• 2 tsp salt

Filling:

• 2 tbsp. peanuts (crushed)
• 2 tbsp white sugar
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

1. Pour 1/2 cup lukewarm water into a bowl and stir in sugar. Sprinkle in the yeast and let stand without stirring for 5 minutes.

2. Sift the plain and rice flour together into mixing bowl. Add salt, yeast mixture, and milk. Mix into a firm dough and knead this thoroughly on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.

3. Put the dough back into the bowl, cover with a dish towel and leave at room temperature for 3 hours, until it has risen double in size.

4. To make the filling, grind the peanuts finely in a food processor and then mix them with the sugars and cinnamon.

5. Sprinkle a plate with a little flour. Divide the dough into twelve portions. Flatten one piece on your hand, then make a depression in the center with one finger. Place 2 tbsp. of filling on the middle of the dough and wrap the edges around to enclose the filling completely, shaping the dough back into a ball. Place on the plate. Repeat.

6. Pour a little vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat over medium heat. Add a ball of dough and press it down with the back of a wooden spoon to flatten it into a round pancake. You can prepare three to four at once depending on the size of your pan. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Best served warm.

Makes 12 servings

We like to serve these as a dessert when we have Korean food or as a breakfast treat on a cold Minnesota morning. They are delicious. You DO NOT need syrup—just eat as is. The sweetness is on the inside.

My loving monsters give this little delight 5 out of 5 "Dr. Edwards' reading glasses." ENJOY!

Directed by Virgil W. Vogel
Starring John Agar, Hugh Beaumont and Cynthia Patrick

In this brilliantly perfect example of the 1950's B-movie, archaeologists played by John Agar (who appeared in many of these Universal Studios cheapies) and Hugh Beaumont (of "Leave It To Beaver" fame) stumble upon a portal deep into the Earth where they find the descendants of a lost Sumarian off-shoot who, because of the great biblical deluge, were forced to live underground. After years of complete isolation in such harsh environs, they evolved into a race of sour-cream-white albinos who survive solely on mushrooms. Also living with these people are a race of gentle mole-like beings who serve as slaves to the lost tribe. Needless to say, the introduction of outsiders causes quite a stir among the primitive people and their fragile social order. The film is mercifully short (as all great 1950's B-movies are), moves at a great pace, and is really fun to watch (albeit completely preposterous). The sets and the matte paintings used to extend them are especially cool. Finally, the last five minutes of the film are so weird, out-of-place and jarringly bad that I literally laughed out loud. Once you've seen it (or if you've already seen it), you'll know exactly what I mean! Seek this movie out!

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!

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!
