Want to be one of the first people to see the trailer for "The Wad: The True Story Behind the Phantom Lake Chewing Gum Disaster?" Then join us on Saturday, May 25th for Bride of Schlock the Block, an all-day movie marathon of cheesy female-centric movies at the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh, Wisconsin!

Writer/director Christopher R. Mihm and a handful of the film's stars will be on-hand to present the film and trailer, as well as sell and sign Mihmiverse merchandise! AND, everyone who stays to see the trailer will receive a free "Queen of Snakes" collectible signed by the Queen herself, Stephanie Mihm!

Be there!

After supporting writer/director Christopher R. Mihm's movies for so many years (since "The Monster of Phantom Lake!"), I anxiously await the box in the mail that holds my copy of each new movie. I have joyously watched each film in the comfort of my own home on my little TV screen, which is nice: no noisy people, no chatter, no one spilling popcorn in my lap—just calm and quiet. The only time I saw a Mihmiverse movie in a theater was a screening of "The Monster of Phantom Lake" at a film festival—which is where I became hooked on these movies!

This year, I finally got to experience the premiere of Mr. Mihm's latest film, "The Giant Spider," in person! To get on a plane and fly across the country to meet my favorite filmmaker... I barely have the words. Writer, producer, director (and much more) Christopher R. Mihm was so much fun and made my son and me feel very special. Everyone we met who was involved in making "The Giant Spider" was so kind, gracious and fun! We even experienced being a part of the Mihmiverse Bonfire Podcast (with an unexpected visit from a TV news reporter, no less).

How does my sweet, little at-home movie watching experience compare with going across the country to The Heights Theater and attend a Mihmiverse premiere? It doesn't! It's a totally different universe—the Mihmiverse!

Excited fans lined up in all manner of dress long before the movie started. While waiting outside, we were "entertained" by a pair of "The Giant Spider" cast members (which was a nice tease of what we would see in the movie). Excitement was just screaming from all over and then... we got to enter the theater. Surrounded by Mihmiverse actors, I excitedly snapped pictures. I placed bids for the silent auction and came away with a signed movie script!

The in-theater experience was incredible. Once again, to be with an audience is amazing, hearing them immediately singing along with the theme song. We laughed together, yelled when appropriate and just had too much fun! After the show, we mingled in the lobby, enjoyed a tasty cupcake decorated with a spider and bought movies, posters, and all kinds of goodies related to "The Giant Spider." THEN, we were able to get all of our swag autographed!

In the end, I had more fun and was treated to so much more than I could have possibly expected. If you live far away, I encourage you, if you can, to come to one of these movie premieres in person. I even managed to attend TWO screenings while I was there! It's obvious the wonderful Mihmiverse crew absolutely love what they do and the audience is devoted to these movies. Writer/director Christopher R. Mihm is incredible and everyone involved is real and down-to-earth. Attending the world premiere of "The Giant Spider" was the coolest experience I have ever had! I hope to do it again!

Directed by Roy Del Ruth
Starring Beverly Garland, Bruce Bennett and Lon Chaney Jr.

In a plot that comes straight out of "Spider-man" comics, a scientist looking to create a serum that will magically allow people to regrow severed limbs taps into the regenerative power of the alligator. You can probably fill in the rest of the plot yourself, but in case you can't, rest assured someone gets exposed to this questionable science and slowly turns into the creature the film is named after. Who wouldn't be excited to see a film with such an easily-understood classic B-movie plot? "The Alligator People" is an entertaining film with a truly scary AND ridiculous monster. But, the entertaining part doesn't really begin until two-thirds in. The film moves at a snail's pace in the beginning and, if you're not used to bad 1950s pacing, it will seem almost painful to modern sensibilities. Aside from that, the film is competently made and is a great example of 1950s-drive-in cinema! It's hard to recommend "The Alligator People" outright, simply because it is extremely slow in the beginning. However, I believe that if you fight through it until the monster shows up, the film becomes an instant so-bad-it's-good classic that any B-movie film aficionado will love—and the ending is both pointless AND priceless!

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!
