Given how much the Hatchet Army loves American Mythology’s annual HATCHET Halloween anthology comics… and given that the Halloween holiday was all but cancelled in 2020 due to the global pandemic… we thought why not bring a little extra taste of Halloween home a little early this year? HATCHET: UNSTOPPABLE HORROR is a brand new anthology offering three complete new stories for your gore-loving heart – each one highlighting the unstoppable, supernatural nature of Victor Crowley! Best of all? ArieScope has already received our stock of the comic and you can order your copies (autographed by HATCHET creator Adam Green) today!

HATCHET: UNSTOPPABLE HORROR is available in four awesome covers!! Check out the listing in the “BUY STUFF” store to see all four!

Don’t let the summer surprise of a new anthology comic scare you! “Victor Crowley’s Halloween Tales #3” is still coming this October along with the new HOLLISTON graphic novel “Holliston Goes To Hell!” It’s gonna be a Halloween to die and go to hell for!

Your favorite characters from the TV series Holliston are back, and this time they’re going straight to hell in ”Holliston Goes to Hell,” the third book in the graphic novel series based on the fan-favorite horror sit-com. When “Adam,” “Joe,” “Laura,” and “Corri” attend their High School reunion an ancient colonial curse creates a gigantic sinkhole that swallows the entire town of Holliston, MA down to Hell! Now the gang must each face off with their darkest personal fears if they’re to save their souls from the clutches of the Devil himself!

“It was a delight to send the characters of Holliston to Hell,” says writer Greg Wright. “The story is filled with payoffs for horror fans to find and there’s plenty of demonic shenanigans that only the Holliston gang can deliver.”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to have the creative team together again for another Holliston adventure,” says Source Point Press Art Director Joshua Werner. “The demand from the horror community for more Holliston is at an all time high and we’re going to deliver the craziest and most exciting story to date, complete with all your favorite characters from the show.”

Created by filmmaker Adam Green (the Hatchet franchise, Frozen), Holliston originally ran for two seasons in 2012/2013 on the FEARnet cable television network. In 2014 as the show was gearing up to start on a third season, Holliston suffered the tragic loss of cast member Dave Brockie (GWAR) and the FEARnet network was dissolved in a merger between Comcast and Time Warner. The graphic novel series from Source Point Press has kept Holliston alive for fans by delivering new stories while they continue to hope for news of a new season.

“Holliston has always had an incredibly loyal cult following,” says creator Adam Green. “That audience has grown exponentially since the show began streaming on Shudder about 8 months ago so the timing of this new book from Source Point Press couldn’t be better.”

Holliston Goes to Hell is the third Holliston graphic novel from Source Point Press and ArieScope Pictures, written by Greg Wright and illustrated by Stephen Sharar. The previous books in the series, Holliston: Friendship is Tragic and Holliston: Carnival of Carnage, are available in stores and online from both ArieScope Pictures and Source Point Press, as well as digital sites such as Comixology and DriveThru Comics. Seasons 1 and 2 of Holliston are currently streaming on Shudder in North America. Both seasons are also available digitally and on DVD/Blu-ray.

ArieScope Pictures is a feature film and television production company formed in 1998 by filmmaker Adam Green and cinematographer Will Barratt. An industry leader in genre fare, to date ArieScope has produced films including the four HATCHET films, FROZEN, DIGGING UP THE MARROW, SPIRAL, CHILLERAMA, GRACE, and two seasons of the television sitcom HOLLISTON.

“When THE MOVIE CRYPT premiered on May 6, 2013, we only intended for the podcast to be some extra promotion for HOLLISTON during the 10 weeks that Season 2 was airing on television. 400 weeks later, we’ve never missed a single Monday without a new episode and we’ve shared almost 8 years worth of laughs, tears, births, deaths, triumphs, and heartbreaks with our worldwide audience. To the hundreds of artists who have shared such incredible insight into their craft… to those who have bravely discussed the struggles they’ve encountered on their career journeys and helped inspire others not to give up on their own dreams… to our friends that have been a part of one of our five annual 48-hour live “Yorkiethons” so far and helped us save so many dogs’ lives… THANK YOU for being a part of this amazing thing that we never wanted to do but now can’t imagine living without. It’s been an incredible ride so far.” – Adam Green

YORKIETHON 5 took place over the weekend of December 18th – 20th, 2020 and was a big success! The Movie Crypt podcast’s annual 48-hour LIVE marathon to benefit Save A Yorkie Rescue is always THE podcast event of every year as hosts Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Arwen stay on the air live for 2 straight days with celebrity guests joining them around the clock for live comedy, live music, live script readings, live film commentaries, live interviews, and so much more. This year’s YORKIETHON featured 70 celebrity guests and is on track to ultimately raise $30,000.00 (donations are still trickling in)! With the pandemic devastating so many people’s finances in 2020, we were realistically hoping that YORKIETHON 5 would raise around $15,000.00. However, our audience (our biggest yet- averaging between 8-10,000 live viewers every hour) overwhelmed us with their generosity despite the difficult times we are in.

To date The Movie Crypt podcast’s YORKIETHONs have raised well over $130,000.00 for Save A Yorkie Rescue and helped the non-profit organization save countless abandoned and abused dogs, but this year the event also helped raise the collective spirit of our community by bringing artists from all sides of the industry together to have some much needed fun – all in the name of love. Thank you to our guests (the full list is below) for helping make this our best 2-day long show ever, thank you to our amazing crew who quite literally made the live stream possible, thank you to our friends who donated items for Arwen’s Silent Auction, and especially thank you to everyone around the world who tuned in and donated this year!

YORKIETHON 5’s GUESTS:

Director Dave Parker once again produced the weekend’s centerpiece event- the live reading of Nick Antosca’s un-produced screenplay for FRIDAY THE 13TH 3D, which was originally intended to be the followup to the 2009 remake. Every Yorkiethon has featured a live reading of a screenplay that general audiences have never had a chance to see/read before, whether it be an un-produced script (George A. Romero and Mick Garris’ THE MUMMY, John Sayles’ NIGHT SKIES) or an early draft of a massively popular film that was extremely different from the movie that audiences ultimately saw (Chris Columbus’ GREMLINS and THE GOONIES). For the last 3 YORKIETHONS in a row our dear friend Dave Parker has put together the casts for the Saturday night script reading, shouldering the responsibility of each marathon’s centerpiece segment in an effort to help us with the herculean workload that we face producing a 48-hour live event. Dave has absolutely knocked it out of the park every year, casting a wide array of actors, voice-over professionals, and fellow filmmakers that have brought each script to life for our audience. THANK YOU, Dave! And THANK YOU, Nick for giving your blessing for us to read your fantastic screenplay!

The cast of the FRIDAY THE 13TH 3D live script reading: Ace Von Johnson, Elissa Dowling, Matt Mercer, Dave Parker, Jeffrey Reddick, Sarah Nicklin, Damian Maffei, Joseph Lambert, Jace Anderson, Jared Rivet, Diana Prince, and Tiffany Shepis.

The cast of HOLLISTON reunited for a live reading of an un-produced script from the (still in sit-com production purgatory) 3rd season called “Laura’s Little Bubblebath.”

“Like the closing video of smiling dogs said … keep smiling. Things will get better soon.”                    Adam Green, Joe Lynch, & Arwen

Team Y5 (From L to R): Joe Lynch, Dottie, Ryan Plume, Arwen, Corey Culp, and Adam Green.                 Not pictured but the true MVP of this year’s event- Sean Becker.

Adam Green and Arwen shared an exhausted but triumphant roll on the floor after signing off.
