This week THE MOVIE CRYPT podcast celebrates its 300th episode! Since first premiering on Monday May 6, 2013 hosts Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Arwen have released a new episode of the program every week, never missing a single Monday even during major holidays or while one or both directors are in production on their latest films.

In this special 300th episode the three hosts turn their microphones over to their “Crypt Keepers” – loyal fans and supporters of THE MOVIE CRYPT who sent in messages congratulating Green, Lynch, and Arwen (also known as “M.C. Licks-A-Lot” during the monthly MOVIE CRYPT LIVE Pre-Shows) on this milestone achievement with words about what the podcast means to them. This incredibly funny and heartwarming episode is now playing on all podcast platforms.

UPDATE: THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT.  With our special live commentary and Q&A for FROZEN just days away (3/16) we’re excited to announce that our NEXT “ArieScope Live” event will be the first workshop in the series: WRITING SHORT FILMS on Saturday March 30, 2019 at 11am PST!

Join writer/director Adam Green for a LIVE interactive seminar and Q&A dedicated to the craft of writing short films. With over 20 years of experience making shorts (including several that have won awards and/or gone viral and garnered millions of views), Adam will be discussing the screenwriting process and answering your questions about writing short films.

When participating fans are emailed their private access link they will also receive a copy of Adam Green’s screenplay for his 2015 Halloween short film MONSTER PROBLEMS which Adam will be using as an example during the workshop.

This special event is an interactive seminar as opposed to the live commentaries/Q&A’s for specific films that we usually do with “ArieScope Live.” Therefore, space will be more limited than usual in an effort to allow for more time to answer participating audience members’ specific questions. Read all of the details about this event and get your virtual ticket soon in the “Buy Stuff” store here.

Nicolo: “We’re gonna make writing short films fun again… one short at a time! …Fahkin.”

Introducing the brand new framed 35mm film strips cut directly from the very first print of HATCHET! For the first time ever you can literally own a piece of HATCHET history with your own piece of the actual 35mm print that world premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 26, 2006! Beautifully framed and individually autographed by writer/director Adam Green, these exclusive 35mm film strips are NOT reproductions but the REAL THING! Check them out and read all of the details in our “Buy Stuff” store!

The first ArieScope Live event (HATCHET) was a big success and a ton of fun! We’re excited to announce that the next live event will be our 2010 snowy thriller FROZEN on Saturday March 16, 2019 at 12pm/noon PST! Join FROZEN’s writer/director Adam Green and cinematographer Will Barratt as they perform an interactive live commentary and Q&A for the film with an intimate group of participating fans.

Last month’s event sold out well in advance and virtual tickets are limited so don’t wait to secure your spot. Virtual tickets are on sale now in the BUY STUFF store here!

The first “ArieScope Live” event is happening tomorrow (Saturday 2/2) at 12pm PST! This interactive LIVE commentary and Q&A for HATCHET with writer/director Adam Green and cinematographer Will Barratt is SOLD OUT but the next “ArieScope Live” event will be announced soon! Once the next event is announced we strongly recommend getting your tickets early as these events will sell out every time. We only release a limited amount of tickets for “ArieScope Live” events in an effort to keep each event intimate and so that everyone attending can have a chance to participate.

ALL TICKET HOLDERS FOR TOMORROW’S EVENT WERE EMAILED THEIR ACCESS INFORMATION ON FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 1ST. IF YOU PURCHASED A TICKET FOR THIS EVENT PLEASE CHECK THE EMAIL ADDRESS THAT YOU PROVIDED AT CHECK OUT. IF YOU HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED YOUR ACCESS INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT US AT INFO@ARIESCOPE.COM RIGHT AWAY. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR ORDER NUMBER. (PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER BEFORE CONTACTING US.) 

The live show begins at 12 noon PST tomorrow (Sat 2/2) but you are invited to join us early for a special 30 minute pre-show where we will be sharing a slideshow of extremely rare behind the scenes photos from the making of HATCHET! Almost every single photo in the pre-show has never been released or seen anywhere else before. The pre-show is a great time to introduce yourself and get the live chat going with your fellow Hatchet Army members before Adam and Will join you at noon (PST).

Please remember to keep your access information private! Do not share it with anyone. Should the amount of attendees rise above the number of tickets sold at any point during the event we will end it and sign-off immediately. On-line piracy has ruined independent cinema and taken a horrible toll on all of our lives. Attempted theft of these special fan events will not be tolerated so don’t be “that guy/girl” and ruin everyone’s good time.

Classic HATCHET ARMY t-shirts, HOLLISTON NATION hoodies, and the new ARWEN “For Those About To Go For A Walk” raglan jerseys are now listed for pre-order in the BUY STUFF store! As always, these are limited runs and we strongly recommend pre-ordering soon to be sure that you get your size before it sells out.

The symbol of the true HATCHET fan – back by popular demand.

With the “In Market Basket We Shop” slogan and the 7 skulls representing Adam, Joe, Laura, Corri, Lance Rockett, Oderus, and Axl the Cat – this is THE hoody for HOLLISTON fans.

“For Those About To Go For A Walk… We Salute You.” These new AC/DC inspired ARWEN shirts are truly metal as f*ck and became an overnight best seller!

Adam Green will be appearing on the IMPRACTICAL JOKERS CRUISE #3 in February where he will be hosting a screening of DIGGING UP THE MARROW in the Stardust Theater onboard the Norwegian Pearl on Thursday night (2/7) at 11:30pm! Brian Quinn (IMPRACTICAL JOKERS, VICTOR CROWLEY) will be moderating the Q&A with Adam after the film.

Adam will also be appearing/performing improv comedy during other shows throughout the cruise!

The JOKERS CRUISE #2 in 2017 was an absolute blast and the 800+ fans that attended the screening of VICTOR CROWLEY on the ship were the loudest and rowdiest audience of Adam’s entire “Dismember America Tour” – so this very special screening of DIGGING UP THE MARROW will be an equally amazing time. The cruise ship leaves Tampa, FL on Wednesday February 6th and heads to a private island in Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas before returning on Sunday February 10th. To check for open rooms or join the waiting list click here.

All aboard for laughs, screams, and monsters!

After years of hearing from frustrated fans who live too far away to be able to attend any of Adam Green’s tour dates, participate in any hosted screenings/Q&A’s for our films, or make it out to Adam’s various convention and film festival appearances, we’re bringing the fun to you by privately hosting special interactive events LIVE right here on the website. The first ArieScope Live event (HATCHET on Saturday February 2, 2019) is now on-sale in the “Buy Stuff” store!  Read all about ArieScope Live and how works in the all new ArieScope Live section of this website.

Coming directly to YOU!

We have exciting news for HATCHET fans! On January 7th at 10am PST ArieScope.com will be releasing 10 prop hatchets and 4 Victor Crowley skulls for sale in the BUY-STUFF store! These highly sought after high-end collectibles are each handmade by HATCHET franchise FX artist Robert Pendergraft from the exact same molds used for the props seen on-screen in the films themselves. Rob and his family will be welcoming a new baby boy into our world in just a few short weeks so in preparation for this major life change he has been cleaning out Aunt Dolly’s Garage and discovered that he has just enough materials left to make 10 more hatchets and 4 more skulls.  Each prop takes several days to make and hand-paint… so after this it could be a long time before Rob will personally be making any more high-end HATCHET collectibles for fans!

Each prop hatchet is handmade out of polyurethane foam with a steel support bar inside and hand-painted. Made from the exact same mold used to create the prop hatchets you see “Victor Crowley” wielding on-screen in all four HATCHET films, ArieScope.com is the only place in the world that sells these authentic props. Each hatchet will come autographed by HATCHET’s creator Adam Green on one side of the blade.

Each “Victor Crowley” skull is molded from the exact same mold used to create “Victor Crowley’s” exposed skeleton seen on-screen in HATCHET 3 and is handmade with a mixture of polyurethane foam and urethane plastic before being hand-painted by FX artist Robert Pendergraft.  (A four day process each!)  Originally only available for fans to order on Adam Green’s 2017 “Dismember America Tour” with VICTOR CROWLEY, we will only be able to make four of these available for fans this time!  Each skull comes in two pieces (just like a real human skull – the jaw bone is a separate piece that the skull rests on) and autographed by both HATCHET’s creator Adam Green and FX artist Robert Pendergraft on the back of the skull.

This will be it for awhile, Hatchet Army – so if you’ve missed out in the past, don’t miss out this time!  The hatchets and skulls will ship before the end of February (again- these handmade collectibles each take time to make). Good luck!

When the official “Arwen” plush dolls went on sale at midnight on Black Friday they sold out immediately. The second batch sold out within 90 seconds on Christmas Eve. To try and keep up with the demand we’ve now listed a third plush “litter” of everyone’s favorite Yorkie for PRE-ORDER in our BUY STUFF store! Each doll has its hair cut and styled by hand, therefore we can only produce a limited amount.  This third batch will inevitably sell out so get your orders in today!

These plush “Arwen” dolls are expected to ship by February 14, 2019.
