## Film career
### Softcore porn

From 1997 to 2002, Brown worked for pornographic film production company Factory 2000. She signed an exclusive contract with E.I. Independent Cinema, performing mainly in softcore pornography under the stage name Misty Mundae. During this period, she also appeared (as Misty Mundae) in the 1999 hardcore film Vampire Strangler, alongside her then-boyfriend William Aprecino, known professionally as William Hellfire, who also directed the film.
In 2000, 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 wrote, directed, and starred in a 2002 remake of the 1969 film Lustful Addiction. She also starred in the E.I. productions Misty Mundae: Mummy Raider (2002), SpiderBabe (2003), The Seduction of Misty Mundae (2005), The Erotic Diary of Misty Mundae, Sinful, The Girl Who Shagged Me, as well as Play-mate of the Apes (2002), Roxanna (2002), and Lord of The G-Strings (2004).

### Horror films

In 1999, she appeared in a Columbine massacre-inspired B movie, Duck! The Carbine High Massacre, directed by Hellfire along with Joey Smack, who also acted in Vampire Strangler. After the directors were arrested for bringing weapons on school grounds, she bailed out Hellfire, who she was actively dating. She plays Misty in the 2002 film Mummy Raider, battling against an evil neo-Nazi scientist and an ancient mummy. 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 (later renamed the Hoboken International Film Festival), she was nominated for Best Actress, for her role in the psychological thriller Sinful.
Later in 2003, she appeared in CKY's music video for their song "Shock and Terror", directed by Bam Margera. 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 E.I. Independent Cinema, left that company, and retired from softcore films to pursue mainstream acting.
Working as Erin Brown, she then performed in several independent horror films, such as Tony Todd's Shadow: Dead Riot, and The Lost, a film adaptation of Jack Ketchum's novel of the same name. She starred opposite Angela Bettis in "Sick Girl", a January 2006 episode of Showtime's Masters of Horror series. She and Homeward Band (her boyfriend's band) contributed music to "Sick Girl", but were not credited.
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.
