''The Monster Of Phantom Lake'' was the first film by Creator/ChristopherRMihm and the first film in The Franchise/{{Mihmiverse}} SharedUniverse. It is notable for having established the series' primary setting in southeast Wisconsin and for introducing some of the franchise's biggest running gags, such as the concept of the Phantom Lake Canoe Cops.
The film takes place sometime in the 1950s, near Phantom Lake in Mukwonago, Wisconsin. The movie's opening scene reveals the lake has long been the site of illegal toxic waste dumping. One weekend, Michael "Lobo" Kaiser - a former soldier and local kook - falls into the deadly waters and is transformed into a MuckMonster with a deadly touch. This coincides with two different groups camping by the lake on that same weekend. One is a group of teenagers celebrating their recent graduation from high school. The other is local college science instructor Professor Jackson and his research assistant, Stephanie Yates, who are examining the local animals and discovering some truly frightening mutations.
----
!!This film provides examples of:
* BeatCop: The Canoe Cops - a special division of the Phantom Lake Police Department, who patrol the lake in a canoe instead of a patrol car.
* BodyHorror: Lobo is transformed into a MuckMonster.
* BotanicalAbomination: The Monster.
* Cloudcuckoolander: Officer Sven, who randomly notes that his uncle thought eating frogs could make you psychic.
* DistinguishedGentlemansPipe: Professor Jackson is never to be found without one.
* DramaticPause: Professor Jackson takes quite a few of... these.
* FinalGirl: Elizabeth, the only one of the teens to survive to the end of the movie.
* GreenAesop: Granted, "Don't dump toxic waste into the lake because it might turn people into monsters." isn't much of a message, but it's fits the 1950s's idea of environmentalism.
* MuckMonster
* [[{{Mutants}} Mutant]]: Lobo is changed into one after being exposed to the toxic waters of Phantom Lake.
** Also, the "Spider-Frogs" that Stephanie discovers.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Professor Jackson
* ScienceHero: Professor Jackson
* ScreenToStageAdaptation: This movie was later adapted into a stage musical, with the same title.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Michael "Lobo" Kaiser. It is said that he went crazy because of what he saw during World War II and he wound up killing his wife and going to live in the woods.
* Shout Out: Michael Kaiser, the real name of the soldier called Lobo who becomes The Monster of Phantom Lake, is the also real name of the actor who played The Monster of Phantom Lake.
