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.

Happy Halloween from our family to yours! May all of your hauntings be safe, happy, and healthy!

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!

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. More information can be found at www.ArieScope.com.

Source Point Press is a midwest publisher of books, comics, and graphic novels founded in 2012. Source Point Press is a division of Ox Eye Media.
