A wad of gum goes sentient and homicidal. No, you're not high — this rules.
In writer/director Christopher R. Mihm's first faux-documentary, KPHL Channel 6 Nightly News anchor Daniel Johnson hosts a "look back" at one of the most shocking events ever to transpire in Mihmiverse history. Through interviews with survivors and major players involved in the crisis, re-enactments, and never-before-seen archival footage, Mr. Johnson presents the complete and unabridged story of the wad of chewing gum that mutated, became sentient, grew to gargantuan proportions, and threatened the lives of every man, woman, and child in Phantom Lake County!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mihm has been making loving parodies of 1950s B-movies since 2006, building an entire interconnected 'Mihmiverse' that rivals Marvel in scope and exceeds it in heart.
The gum monster was reportedly a modified weather balloon covered in pink slime — the kind of resourcefulness Roger Corman would respect.
