BLOODY REPLICA HATCHETS!

UPDATED 10:15am on October 31, 2023: These SOLD OUT wicked fast! Congratulations to those who scored one!! Happy Halloween!

In honor of ArieScope’s 25th anniversary we’re releasing this wicked limited run of highly sought after bloody replica hatchets made from the original mold used for all four HATCHET films!  On sale at 10am PST on October 31, 2023! These high-end props are created the exact same way they were made for screen in all 4 films by FX artist Robert Pendergraft and Aunt Dolly’s Garage!  There is no difference between these and the stunt hatchets you see “Victor Crowley” (Kane Hodder) wielding in the films themselves!  Each hatchet is handmade, hand-painted, and comes with its own unique blood splatter painted on the blade.  No two are identical!  Best of all- each hatchet comes autographed by HATCHET creator Adam Green on one side of the blade! These incredibly rare prop replica hatchets were previously only available on Adam Green’s “Dismember America Tour” in 2016 during the theatrical tour of VICTOR CROWLEY! (A few were held back and sold on-line after the tour.)

Each prop is made of polyurethane foam with a steel support bar inside.  PLEASE NOTEWhile these may be stunt props, they should never be used to strike a human being or animal and are for cosplay use and/or display purposes only.

Each hatchet comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by both Adam Green and Robert Pendergraft. These will sell out fast so don’t wait! 

On sale in the BUY STUFF store at 10am PST on October 31, 2023.

$200 each.  Free shipping.

“HALLOWEEN SOCKS” IS NOW PLAYING!

ArieScope’s 25th annual Halloween short film is here!!

Watch HALLOWEEN SOCKS in the SHORTS section of this website!

Due to the WGA and SAG strikes we could not pull off what had long been planned for our milestone 25th Halloween short film. (Adam Green has been a proud member of both unions for the last 20 years and most every actor in the ArieScope family is part of SAG as well.) Knowing that it just wouldn’t be Halloween without a new ArieScope Halloween short film we are proud to say that we pivoted and found a way to carry on with our annual tradition anyway!

What is happening here? Find out tomorrow!

First the pandemic wiped out all of our productions in 2020-2022 and then – just as things were getting back up and moving again – the strikes wiped out everything in 2023. It’s been an incredibly rough three years to say the least! However, the WGA strike is now over, the SAG strike should be ending soon, and we’re still here! We hope to be back on set again next year and making new films for you to enjoy.

Celebrating Halloween for a quarter of a century!

THE *NEW* HATCHET COMIC IS HERE!

HATCHET: VICTOR CROWLEY’S HALLOWEEN TALES 5 comes in four FANTASTIC variant covers including a limited edition black & white virgin art variant of this year’s main cover (only 350 copies printed)! All comics purchased through ArieScope come autographed by HATCHET creator Adam Green!

Order yours now in the BUY STUFF store and let Victor Crowley show you some real tricks and treats this Halloween!
