About the HorrorHound Icon Award

The HorrorHound Icon Award is the evolution of HorrorHound’s Lifetime Achievement Award, which was launched in 2009 in a ceremony honoring the career of Clive Barker. Additional names given this annual award include Lin Shaye, Elvira, Dick Miller, and Barbara Steele. Post-pandemic, the HorrorHound team rechristened the award as the “Icon,” with aim to honor names who have not only had a storied career in the industry – but for those who have given their all to elevate the horror genre as a whole. Not only starring in, or directing projects, but helping further the careers of those in the industry as producers, writers, and mentors.

YORKIETHON 6: The Movie Crypt podcast’s 6th annual 48-hour LIVE marathon to benefit Save A Yorkie Rescue took place Friday December 10th through Sunday December 12th. Hosts Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Arwen were joined by roughly 70 guests from all over the world for a 2-day long variety show that featured live music, comedy, film commentaries, a reading of the very first (extremely different) draft of BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985), a horror baking segment, “Arwen’s Silent Auction,” and more! In the end, YORKIETHON 6 raised $37,248.53 for SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE. It is money that will change the lives of dogs that have been abandoned and/or abused by the very people they were counting on most in life.

“That’s a wrap!” (Note: Donations have continued to come in since this photo was taken.)

A full recap listing ALL of the guests that appeared during YORKIETHON 6 will be posted before the end of the year so be sure and check back soon! In the meantime, THANK YOU to everyone who watched this epic 48-hour variety show – especially those who generously helped SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE by donating directly to the Rescue or by purchasing something in “Arwen’s Silent Auction!” We hope that YORKIETHON 6 provided you with enough laughs, fun, and positivity to remember that “good” is still very much alive. All around the world tonight, millions of dogs and cats are sleeping in shelters or foster homes and dreaming that tomorrow will be the day that they are adopted into a loving family. Like them, we hope that you never give up believing that tomorrow will be better.

REMINDER: Items purchased in “Arwen’s Silent Auction” will not begin shipping until after the holidays. In order to ensure that every penny raised goes to the dogs under SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE’s care, The Movie Crypt podcast’s YORKIETHON is a fully volunteer operation. Our staff will be away as they spend the holidays with their families, but they will get everything shipped out when they return in January.

A full recap is coming soon…

Happy Halloween! ArieScope’s 23rd annual Halloween short film is here!

For 23 years now, ArieScope Pictures has produced an annual Halloween short film with the rule of: one night, no budget, and just for fun. Over the years ArieScope’s tradition of the annual Halloween short film has become a huge part of our audience’s own Halloween celebrations all over the world and shorts like JACK CHOP (2009), MONSTER PROBLEMS (2015), DRIVING LESSONS (2012), and THE TIFFANY PROBLEM (2007) have kept millions entertained. Our fans never know what kind of Halloween tale is going to come out of Adam Green’s head from year to year and our Halloween treat for 2021 is no exception…

Ever wish you could know what your dog would say if he/she could talk?

In GHOST DOG, a broken hearted man’s Halloween wish comes true and he winds up paying a price he never saw coming. Starring Ed Ackerman (HATCHET 2, FROZEN), ArieScope’s 23rd annual Halloween short film turns every pet owner’s dream into a nightmare. Watch it HERE and be sure and share it with all of the pet lovers in your life as a Halloween greeting! GHOST DOG is also available on ArieScope’s YouTube channel HERE for easy sharing on social media.

October is always a busy month for ArieScope but 2021 might be one of our busiest years yet! The 23rd ArieScope annual Halloween short film is just a few days away from premiering… the new HOLLISTON graphic novel (“Holliston Goes to Hell”) and HATCHET comic book (“Victor Crowley’s Halloween Tales 3”) hit comic book store shelves (and arrive in stock here in the ArieScope store) at the end of the month… THE MOVIE CRYPT podcast has 3 live events for Patreon members this month (“Movie Crypt Live” is this Sunday 10/10… Adam and Joe just performed a LIVE commentary for 1993’s JASON GOES TO HELL during “Slumber Party Massacre” on 10/3… and there’s still another “Slumber Party Massacre” event coming on 10/29)… and now this! A FREE screening of HATCHET with writer/director Adam Green and star Joel David Moore on Saturday night 10/23 in Hollywood, CA!

Stone Street LA is Joel David Moore’s awesome new cafe/bar that opened earlier this year!

After almost 2 years without a public appearance due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Green and Moore wanted to put on an intimate and memorable event for fans. As a Halloween treat for the LA chapter of the Hatchet Army, they are hosting a FREE screening of HATCHET (2007) at Stone Street on Saturday night October 23rd at 8pm where they will be showing the un-rated director’s cut of HATCHET on Stone Street’s open air patio and then sharing stories in a Q&A with the audience immediately following the film. No reservations are necessary but the event is first come, first served so get there when doors open at 7pm to ensure you get a seat!

Time flies when you’re having fun! For well over 2 decades ArieScope has produced a short film celebrating the holiday of Halloween every October without fail. Part of our annual tradition is that we keep the details of each year’s short film under wraps right up until the day of release. So while we can’t tell you what this year’s Halloween short film is about, who is going to be in it, or even what the title is… we are excited to let you know that the cast and crew of this year’s production received Adam Green’s script for ArieScope’s 23rd annual Halloween short film earlier today! That means production is officially underway and the countdown to Halloween 2021 has begun!

You can watch all 22 years of our Halloween short films FREE in the “SHORTS” section of this website, but we also recommend watching our documentary FOR THE LOVE OF HALLOWEEN which we released in 2018 in conjunction with ArieScope’s 20th anniversary. The feature-length documentary tells the story of how a group of friends making no-budget short films to celebrate Halloween turned into the production company that ArieScope Pictures is today. Watch it FREE right here.

With our 23rd annual Halloween short film, a new HOLLISTON graphic novel (“Holliston Goes to Hell”), and a new HATCHET comic book (“Victor Crowley’s Halloween Tales #3”) all coming your way in October, this is certainly going to be one of the best Halloweens ever!
