The "Mihmiverse screening season," which generally runs from September to early November, is underway and writer/director Christopher R. Mihm's latest opus, "The Wad: The True Story Behind the Phantom Lake County Chewing Gum Disaster," has been enjoying an abundance of positive reactions!

Ever since the film held its wildly successful world premiere at the end of August, audiences have been enthusiastically laughing, "ooh-ing," and "ahh-ing" to the first Mihmiverse mockumentary everywhere it has screened! It was even awarded third place in the feature category at last month's 20th annual Slash & Bash Sci-Fi & Horror Movie Festival! Even though third place doesn't sound as impressive as second or first, it should be pointed out that every other film in competition at the festival had larger budgets and leaned much farther into the "hardcore horror" genre. The fact that a silly faux-documentary about a giant, sad ball of sentient bubble gum was able to beat out a sizable number of other films in a competition it was not particularly well-suited for says A LOT about just how good the movie really is!

A handful of screenings and events are scheduled this month (and beyond)! We hope to see you at one—or more—of them! Remember to frequent the events page at SaintEuphoria.com to stay apprised on all upcoming Mihmiverse-related events!



When he's not out promoting "The Wad," and now that principal photography of writer/director Christopher R. Mihm NEXT great film, "Three Bad Girls Who Find a Gun and Become Vampires," is done, he's hard at work editing! In fact, he's been working so hard, he already has 50 minutes of the film complete!

For a movie that will most likely "top out" at 70 to 75 minutes, being this far along means that Mr. Mihm is in the "home stretch!" In fact, he's so far ahead of where he usually is on a project, he's ALREADY set the date for the next world premiere: Wednesday, March 5th, 2025! As always, the event will take place at the Heights Theater in Columbia Heights, MN (which is just north of Minneapolis). However, until the movie is 100% done, the date can only be considered tentative. Granted, unless something truly catastrophic happens before the end of the year, Mr. Mihm anticipates having the final edit done before the holidays, and thus the film SHOULD BE ready in time to hit that release date!

In the meantime, we've been provided a new still from the film! In it, we see Elliott Mihm and Michael Kaiser as their hitmen characters known as Mute & Mouth (respectively). We don't know much about their purpose in the film, but given the fact that this movie pays homage to the cinematic oeuvre of the Coen Brothers, it seems fitting that the script should include a couple of contract killers! Check out the image below!


In "Three Bad Girls Who Find a Gun and Become Vampires," writer/director Christopher R. Mihm's 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!
