Film career
Softcore
From 1997 to 2002, Brown worked for pornographic film production company Factory 2000. She signed an exclusive contract with E.I. Independent Cinema, performing in softcore pornography under the stage name Misty Mundae.
She also appeared in a Columbine massacre-inspired B movie, Duck! The Carbine High Massacre in 2000. That same year she traveled to Paris to film the U.S./French co-production Vampire of Notre Dame which was later acquired and distributed by Seduction Cinema under the title An Erotic Vampire in Paris. Brown also wrote, directed, and starred in a 2002 remake of the 1969 film Lustful Addiction and also stars in Spiderbabe and Lord of The G-Strings in 2003 and 2004 respectively.
Horror films
In 2003, Brown began to perform in low-budget horror films produced by E.I. Independent Cinema's horror division Shock-O-Rama Cinema, such as The Screaming Dead, Bite Me!, Shock-O-Rama, and Chantal. At the 2006 New Jersey International Film and Screenplay Festival (now the Hoboken International Film Festival), she was nominated for Best Actress, for her role in the psychological thriller Sinful.[2] Also in 2003, she appeared in a CKY music video for the song "Shock and Terror" directed by Bam Margera.[3]
In 2004, Brown released her short film Voodoun Blues direct to DVD through Shock-O-Rama Cinema. This film had won an award for best short film at her college film festival. Shortly after this, she sold her interest in the Misty Mundae name to EI Independent Cinema, left that company, and retired from softcore films to pursue mainstream acting.
Working as Erin Brown, Brown then performed in several independent horror films such as Tony Todd's Shadow: Dead Riot, and the film adaptation of Jack Ketchum's The Lost. She starred opposite Angela Bettis in a January 2006 episode of Showtime's Masters of Horror series entitled "Sick Girl".
Brown's success in horror movies was such that an item in Sci Fi Weekly included Misty Mundae on "the list of living horror icons — the ones whose movies you might pay to see or rent, the ones you'd stand in line to shake hands with or to snag an autograph from", along with Robert Englund, Linda Blair, Malcolm McDowell, Elvira, and Jamie Lee Curtis, among others.[4]
Later years
In 2005, EI Independent Cinema, now renamed Pop Cinema, announced its intent to continue to release previously-filmed softcore films starring Brown as Misty Mundae.[5]
In August 2006, Brown was cast in a major role in The Rage, directed by Robert Kurtzman, which was released on DVD in 2008.[6]
In 2007, Erin Brown had a supporting role in the independent film All Along, a romantic comedy scripted by and starring Bill Page.[7] She also starred in the Polonia brothers film Splatter Beach.[8] In March 2007, she was cast in Dying God, directed by Fabrice Lambot. Dying God was her last film shot to date and was released in France in 2008.
In January 2008, Pop Cinema, now the owner of the Misty Mundae character and name, announced a limited convention tour to promote the release of An Erotic Werewolf in London. Brown appeared as Mundae to greet fans at such shows as the Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors and Chiller Theatre. In July 2008, Screamkings.com licensed the Misty Mundae name from Pop Cinema and announced the feature film Sculpture. Sculpture is the first feature film to star Brown as Misty Mundae since the 2005-released film Shock-O-Rama.
She appears in the Cinemax television series Lingerie as Stephanie.[9] Brown also works as a co-producer/actress for a number of independent features, with the New York City based production company PottoCo HQ Flicker Factory, starting with the film Dosey Strikes in which she plays the title role.
