Mourning Misty Mundae

MISTY MUNDAE 1997-2005

Nov. 6, 2005

Misty’s dead. At least as we knew her. Erin Brown, the actress behind B-sinema’s biggest name, is still very much alive. Citing "bullshit legal stuff," Erin declined to elaborate on her parting with e.i. Cinema other than she "technically can’t even say that I was Misty Mundae."

Erin’s busy, though! She co-stars as Angela Bettis’ lesbian love interest in "Sick Girl" — Lucky McKee’s Masters of Horror contribution. She recently shot The Lost, which Lucky also produced. Of course, Erin’s alter ego still has flicks on the way, such as Brett Piper’s Shock-O-Rama. Yet, sadly, barring some change of heart, Misty Mundae’s obit is written.

Update: Dec. 15, 2005

Warm soul that he is, Seduction Cinema grand poobah and CineSchlocker idol Mike Raso attempts to dry my tears with a cheery bit o’ Yuletide news: Misty Mundae will appear as Misty Mundae at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors in Chicago …

Noel,

I have to admit it, your R.I.P. Obit of Misty Mundae has caused quite a bit of confusion in the fan community and a bit of stir in our offices. While all news is good news, I do think that your proclamation that MISTY MUNDAE IS DEAD was a bit dramatic and, from our corporate/brand perspective, not true.

What IS true is that Misty Mundae has retired from soft-core films. Also true is the fact that ei Independent Cinema owns the name Misty Mundae and although Misty is acting outside the ei Studio system under the name Erin Brown, we indend to continue to produce new feature films with the one, only and original Misty Mundae.

As always, thanks for your interest and support of our films. I am at your service if you have any questions.

So, to clarify: What died was the side of Ms. Mundae that made her wanna strip nekkid and tongue rassle Darian Caine in a half dozen flicks a year.

I still say that’s a loss worth mourning.
