THREE BAD GIRLS WHO FIND A GUN AND BECOME VAMPIRES!

Moving forward beyond his soon-to-be-released Mihmiverse mockumentary, writer/director Christopher R. Mihm has kept himself busy filming his 2025 movie, "Three Bad Girls Who Find a Gun and Become Vampires!" In fact, as of the publication of this newsletter, cast & crew have already shot over HALF the script!

We're happy to announce that we've received the first still from the new film! In the image, we see actor Alice Mihm playing an unquestionably different character than we're used to seeing her inhabit—made especially obvious by the glasses she's wearing, (in the Mihmiverse, all it takes to be a different character is a different set of eyewear!), AND by the fact she's holding the (presumably) titular firearm! Check it out below!

Since we've now seen at least one "bad girl" holding a pistol, we hope that at some point, given the film's exaggerated, on-the-nose title, we get to see an image of SOMEONE with sharp vampire teeth!

According to Mr. Mihm, a large portion of the film's story takes place outside so, weather permitting, principal photography of "Three Bad Girls Who Find a Gun and Become Vampires" is slated to continue through the next month or two!

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!

The Mihmiverse is only made possible by contributions from fans like you. And, with the gears of this new project grinding into motion, now is the best time to contribute to the film! For each $20.00 donation, all contributors will be entitled to having a single name* of their choosing listed in the contributors section of the closing credits of the film and a customized, frame-able document certifying their contribution!

Welcome once again to The Retro-Spective! I hope you are enjoying it each month. This month, we are going to talk about man venturing out to explore among the stars. This is the setting of writer/director Christopher R. Mihm's film, "Destination: Outer Space," and contains a story clearly inspired by several sci-fi movies of the era of "drive-in cinema." The following is my attempt to dig a little deeper into this specific genre. Let take a look...

Maybe the best "man in space" movie of the '50s is "Forbidden Planet." Released in 1956, this film boasts a writing credit for William Shakespeare. The story is (very) loosely based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest." A great story backed with state-of-the-art special effects made this film stand out from the pack and it has now gained status as one of the greatest science fiction films of all time. It also gave us the first appearance of Robbie the Robot. Robbie would go on to appear in many other films and TV shows and was the basis of the robot in "Lost in Space." Fun fact: the Walt Disney Company was called in to provide the special effects of the "id" monster.


While "Forbidden Planet" may be considered the best, the era gave us many other examples that fit the subject of this month's column. 1958's "From the Earth to the Moon" gave us Joseph Cotton and George Sanders in a tale of a rocket to the moon that takes place right after the Civil War. Based on a story by Jules Verne, it has a bittersweet ending that elevates it above a lot of 1950s sci-fi.

"Rocketship X-M" (1950) starred Lloyd Bridges as the captain of a rocket crew flying off to explore Mars. I don't want to give it away, but "Cave Women on Mars" owes a debt to this film. Another bittersweet ending shows mankind's drive to explore outweighs the dangers of space exploration.

Mars was a popular destination in the movies of the 1950s. In 1951's "Flight to Mars," an American team of space explorers find and are captured by the last of the dying Martian race. Rumor has that this not-quite-classic film was shot in only five days!

Traveling to outer space has never stopped being a popular subject for movies. From "2001: A Space Odyssey" to "Planet of the Apes," "Alien," and "Interstellar" (and many others), Hollywood has enjoyed trying to depict the enduring allure of space exploration. These voyages are fraught with danger, aliens, and the human desire to overcome all obstacles. All of this is also true about the 2010 Mihmiverse film, "Destination: Outer Space."

It's the story of Captain Mike Jackson (the son of Professor Jackson from "The Monster of Phantom Lake") and his test flight of the Earth's first faster-than-light speed rocket. Early Mihmiverse regular Josh Craig stars as both Captain Mike and his father, the good Professor.

A personal Mihmiverse favorite of mine, Catherine Hansen, appears as the beautiful and mysterious space pirate Yureena Null. Always a solid performer in the Mihmiverse, Ms. Hansen turns in another great performance. I always enjoy seeing her on screen and this is no exception, particularly because it's the first time she appears in a Mihmiverse movie!

Several Mihmiverse regulars are heard but not seen in this movie. If you listen carefully, you will hear the voices of Mike Cook, Shannon McDonough, and writer/director Christopher R. Mihm. Though we don't hear his voice or see his face, Michael G. Kaiser appears as several creatures. "Destination: Outer Space" is the first film to include contributions by monster creator Mitch Gonzales and the man steps into several monster roles, as well (including multiple Oculons and Ominai Crusaders).

Robots, strange alien races, and monsters from mysterious worlds all come together to make this a classic thrill ride of adventure. Will the brave Captain Jackson make it back to Earth? The only way to find out is to watch! You can get your own copy of "Destination: Outer Space at sainteuphoria.com. It is currently available on DVD and will soon be released on Blu-Ray! AND, if you happen to be in the Dallas/Fort Worth area on April 14th, Christopher R. Mihm will personally be hosting a screening of the film at the Alamo Drafthouse in Richardson! I will also be there, so please stop by and say hello!

Thank you for reading! See you next month!
