We’ve kicked off summer by doing a little remodeling around the ArieScope Studio! That means it’s time to find new homes for some of the amazing screen-used props and other rare gems that have graced our studio walls and display cases for the last 10 years. From the life-size “Victor Crowley” head used in the opening scene of HATCHET 2… to more of “Laura’s” original canvas paintings seen on screen in HOLLISTON… to screen-worn wardrobe from CHILLERAMA… and a FULL CAST autographed DVD of SPIRAL… you won’t believe some of the items we’ve made available for fans to purchase! As hard as it may be to part with these incredibly rare pieces of our cinematic history, we’d much prefer that they live on forever with true fans than wind up in storage where no one can appreciate them. That… and we don’t want to wind up on an episode of HOARDERS as that’s precisely where we’re heading if we don’t make some room soon!

Head over to our “BUY STUFF” store to see what is available- but don’t wait! Some items were scooped up the very minute they posted and we don’t expect the rest to remain available very long. Good luck!

After Six Successful Years on the Air, Co-Hosts Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Arwen Find a New Home on the Network Helmed by the Iconic Horror Company FANGORIA

DALLAS, TX (July 2019)–– Since its launch in March of this year, the FANGORIA Podcast Network has acquired multiple beloved shows and continues to fill out its slate of original programming, including the new series CASUALTY FRIDAY, hosted by real-life friends Tiffany Shepis, Felissa Rose, and Kane Hodder, which dropped last week.

About THE MOVIE CRYPT

Hosted by filmmakers Adam Green (HATCHET, FROZEN), Joe Lynch (EVERLY, MAYHEM), and the show-stealing Yorkshire Terrier “Arwen”, THE MOVIE CRYPT is a weekly entertainment behind-the-scenes podcast that focuses on the deeply personal career journeys of artists ranging from Hollywood’s A-List to the freshest up-and-coming voices in the industry today. Through its hosts’ candid and heartfelt conversations with their guests, the show provides inspiration and hope for established and aspiring artists striving or struggling to chase their dreams.

For six years now, listeners have tuned in every Monday (Literally – they’ve never missed a week, ever) to hear Green, Lynch, and Arwen hold spirited conversations with such celebrated artists as Jordan Peele, Roger Corman, James Gunn, Lin Shaye, Greg Nicotero, and more. Through holidays and packed production schedules, these hosts have devoted themselves to highlighting and championing the great work done in the horror genre and cinema at large. You’ll hear from your heroes and you’ll also hear from the talent managers, costume designers, sound mixers, and studio executives that make your favorite movies possible.

“When a new episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT comes out each week, we make a point around the FANGORIA office to listen right away because Adam and Joe score these amazing guests in our genre universe and then get them to bare their souls to an audience of aspiring filmmakers. THE MOVIE CRYPT is a gift to horror, and the FANGORIA Podcast Network is lucky to be a part of this journey. Plus, we stan Arwen,” enthuses FANGORIA CEO Dallas Sonnier, a genuine fan of the show and the Yorkshire Terrier.

“Joe and I both grew up on FANGORIA Magazine,” says Green. “It’s been such a huge part of who we are and how we found our careers. To now have our podcast part of the FANGORIA Family and legacy is quite literally both of our childhood dreams coming true.”

The first episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT’s FANGORIA chapter will premiere on Monday, July 15^th. THE MOVIE CRYPT is available on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your audio content.

Next on the docket for the FANGORIA Podcast Network is another original series hosted by the “Vanguard of the Vault” Natasha Pascetta. LIFECAST is a podcast that explores unique perspectives on special effects in film. Natasha interviews SFX artists, directors, actors and more with the goal of unearthing special-effects-related behind the scenes stories that have rarely been heard. Listeners can expect to hear fan favorites like Barbara Crampton, Alec Gillis, Lloyd Kaufman, and so many more. The FANGORIA Podcast Network is also the home of POST MORTEM WITH MICK GARRIS, Rebekah McKendry’s NIGHTMARE UNIVERSITY, CASUALTY FRIDAY, CLASS OF ’79, and CLASS OF ’89. In-house shows are produced by FANGORIA’s own Natasha Pascetta.

About FANGORIA

FANGORIA is the iconic horror film fan magazine with a die-hard fan base, in publication since 1979. FANGORIA was acquired by CINESTATE, the Texas-based movie studio run by producer Dallas Sonnier, who re-launched the magazine as a print-only quarterly collectible while extending the franchise into films, podcasts, and books. FANGORIA’s latest movie SATANIC PANIC is currently in an international festival fun, and the studio recently wrapped production on the Joe Begos-helmed Action-Horror V.F.W., which stars genre legend Stephen Lang. Up next, the studio is reimagining the 1995 Stuart Gordon cult hit CASTLE FREAK, which is set to begin production in Albania next month.

The next ArieScope Live event is now on-sale! Join us for CHILLERAMA: live commentary and Q&A with directors Adam Green (“The Diary of Anne Frankenstein”) and Joe Lynch (“Zom-B-Movie”) Saturday July 20, 2019 at 10am PST! ArieScope Live events always sell out so don’t wait- secure your spot for this live on-line event now and get your ticket here!

Are you new to ArieScope Live? Read all about it here and see the list of all of events you’ve already missed out on!

Last year ArieScope released the novel “I, SURVIVOR” which was prominently featured in the film VICTOR CROWLEY (aka HATCHET 4). The fictitious autobiography of “Andrew Yong” (played by Parry Shen in the HATCHET series) tells Yong’s heartbreaking life story and reveals the details of how he survived the 2007 “Honey Island Swamp Massacre” and the subsequent trial for his life. Written by Adam Green and Joe Knetter, this novel is an absolute MUST READ for fans of the HATCHET series as it connects the events of HATCHET 3 and 4 through all of the stories you didn’t see on-screen in the films themselves!

“I, SURVIVOR” is now available in audiobook form (narrated by Adam Green) for the first time ever! You can purchase the audiobook on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

“I, SURVIVOR” was released in softcover format last year and first edition copies are still available through Amazon, Barnes And Noble, and (autographed) here on ArieScope.com. Our on-line store has just three limited edition hardcover copies left that were originally only available to fans who saw Adam Green on his “Dismember America Tour” in 2017!

Principal photography begins Monday (June 17, 2019) on HEART BABY EGGPLANT, a new comedy series created by and starring actresses Alison Haislip (CON MAN, SUPERSTORE), Rati Gupta (BIG BANG THEORY, FUTURE MAN), and ArieScope alumni Laura Ortiz (HOLLISTON, VICTOR CROWLEY). Inspired by true stories, the seven episode single-camera series takes an honest and humorous look at different styles of relationships in today’s world: from casual sex and dating, to the pursuit of one’s true love, all the way to marriage and motherhood.

Written by Rati Gupta, HEART BABY EGGPLANT is an ArieScope Pictures production produced by Sarah Elbert (HATCHET, HOLLISTON) and directed by Adam Green (HATCHET, FROZEN) with director of photography Will Barratt (FROZEN, DIGGING UP THE MARROW) lensing the series.

 “I’m confident that fans of HOLLISTON and ArieScope’s many other comedy projects are going to absolutely love HEART BABY EGGPLANT,” says Green. “Rati’s writing announces the arrival of a truly exciting new voice in the world of comedy writing and I became an enormous fan immediately upon reading her scripts for HBE. Sarah came aboard as the producer first and within 48 hours (literally) our whole family had embraced the project and rallied behind the three amazing women that created it.”

HEART BABY EGGPLANT will arrive this Fall. Details on exactly when and where you can watch the series will be announced later this summer. Follow the cast and crew on social media for updates and pictures from the set!

UPDATED 6/24: THIS EVENT HAS NOW PASSED. So your movie, short film, web series, or other project is finally finished? Congratulations! But… now what? What was the point of all of that hard work and sacrifice if no one is even going to know that your project exists? Perhaps your movie got picked up by one of the smaller distributors off of its premiere at a pretty big film festival? Be proud! That’s amazing news and no small feat! But if you think any of those smaller distributors are going to spend the money it takes to properly promote your film… you’re in for a very rude awakening. The art of promotion is certainly not something that they teach you in film school or a skill that you can hope to just naturally pick up on set. In fact, most artists don’t even like to think about it. After all, “you’re an artist not some used car salesman,” right? While that’s so very cool of you to not want to “put on a clown suit” (as they say) and be seen promoting your own work… being prepared to make the world aware of your art is the main difference between success and obscurity in the indie world.

The international premiere of VICTOR CROWLEY (the 4th HATCHET film) – London, 2017

Join filmmaker, creator, and ArieScope’s President Adam Green (the HATCHET franchise, FROZEN, DIGGING UP THE MARROW, and TV’s HOLLISTON) for our next ArieScope Live on-line seminar: “The Art of Promotion” on Saturday June 15th at 10am PST. In what will be one of the most important on-line seminars ArieScope Live offers, Green will share how he has successfully navigated the difficult path of promoting his work without ever having the luxury of a marketing budget. Best of all, he’ll be answering your questions in this interactive live event. Whether you’re an artist who is serious about going the distance from having a “hobby” to having a “career” or just a fan who wants to know how it all works behind the scenes – this is one ArieScope Live seminar that you cannot miss. Tickets are on-sale in the “BUY STUFF” store here. Remember, ArieScope Live always limits the amount of tickets sold in order to keep each event intimate and give all participants time to ask questions. With seminars like this we limit the amount of tickets even further than usual – so don’t wait! This will sell out in advance.

After all, if you don’t promote your work… who do you think is going to?

Normally THE MOVIE CRYPT podcast’s monthly LIVE event is exclusively for the show’s beloved Patreon supporters but Adam, Joe, and Arwen are making Sunday June 9th’s LIVE event available for everyone! Since June 2019 marks the 10 year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s passing, we’re celebrating the music of the King of Pop with “Arwen’s THRILLER Dance Party Pre-Show.” June’s pre-show is a TON of fun and the most elaborate pre-show we’ve ever created. Tune in early to catch it! It all starts Sunday June 9th at 8am PST.

This Friday (5.10) Adam Green will participate in a tribute to the late Larry Cohen (THE STUFF, IT’S ALIVE, GOD TOLD ME TO) at the Van Nuys Elks Lodge in Van Nuys, CA. Join Adam Green, Tom Holland (FRIGHT NIGHT, CHILD’S PLAY), Harry Manfredini (FRIDAY THE 13TH), and a fantastic cast of performers for a live script reading of Cohen’s un-produced screenplay THE MAN WHO LOVED HITCHCOCK. Tickets are FREE by RSVP’ing here! Details below:

THE MAN WHO LOVED HITCHCOCK is a comedic, murder-mystery about a man who steals the private murder scene notes of Alfred Hitchcock to inspire a killing spree. Teaming with a young renegade filmmaker, an aspiring actress, and his ex-friend & collaborator (Psycho composer Bernard Herrmann), Hitch must stop the murderer before he kills them all!

April’s live commentary and Q&A for “HATCHET 2” may have been the most fun ArieScope Live event yet! Writer/director Adam Green and FX artist Robert Pendergraft presented 7 different screen used props from the film’s FX department, went into great detail about how the gore for each of the film’s over-the-top kills was created, shared loads of never before told stories from the set, and divulged the full story of the film’s battle with the MPAA that resulted in it being pulled from all screens in its first 48 hours of release. If you have yet to participate in an ArieScope Live event- you definitely don’t want to miss the next one!

On Saturday May 18th at 11am PST ArieScope Live presents an interactive live commentary and Q&A for “HOLLISTON!” Writer/director/show-runner/star Adam Green and director Sean Becker will be presenting 3 of their favorite episodes from the first two seasons of the sit-com and sharing stories from the set, explaining how the show is made, presenting various screen used props, and updating fans on where they are at in the eternal wait for a third season. (Of course you never know who else from the show’s cast or crew may join them!) For more details and tickets for this event click here.

Don’t wait too long to get your ticket as ArieScope Live events sell out in advance!
