MIMAL THE ELF – TV documentary clip | Cinemassacre Productions

Lost and found! A VHS recording of “America’s Most Mysterious” urban legend TV show from the late 90s. This episode featured Mimal, the killer elf of forgotten folklore. Only part of the episode was recorded unfortunately.

Actually, as you probably know, this was a Cinemassacre production. The scenes with the Mimal reenactment were shot in Decemeber 2014. I never had time to finish the rest, until Early 2017. This is 3rd in a trilgoy of projects that began as improvised scenes shot with Kevin Finn. The others were “Jekyll and Hyde: The Game: The Movie” and “Flying Fuckernauts Vs The AstroBastards.” Each one took me another year to complete, since keeping up with steady web content is always priority. These projects involved a lot more work, and were more time consuming than the things you usually see on the channel, but they are my favorite things to do. Filmmaking is where I started, and that’s still my main passion.

The show took hints from Unsolved Mysteries, Sightings, Fact or Fiction, In Search of, The X-Files, or anything of that nature.

I’ve always wanted to give Mimal the Elf more exposure, and to give it a creepy twist. I first mentioned Mimal in Angry Video Game Nerd: Episode 109: Atari Sports.

The final video/audio was run through a VCR, so the 90s effect was genuine. No digital filters.

The clip from “You Know What’s Bullshit” was an actual TV clip, when they aired the Pennies episode on CNN.

The actors were ad-libbing. The Google line cracked me up. At that point, we weren’t committed to it being a period piece. But Google DID exist in the late 90s. The image shown on the computer, was from 1997.

By the time you see the car, you already know we’re joking around. But if you’ve made it that far, and were still fooled, I’m glad. Either way, hope you enjoyed it.
