It’s here! In the Season 3 premiere of SCARY SLEEPOVER comedian Doug Benson (THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE, Doug Loves Movies Podcast) joins Adam Green for a slumber party where they compete in a game of bricks and balance, dine on fine snacks, and get to the bottom of Doug’s greatest fears. Watch the episode here!

As we celebrate Independence Day here in America – ArieScope proudly presents Arwen’s “FREEDOM SALE!” Select items in our “Buy Stuff” store will be on sale all July 4th weekend long so go on and treat yourself to something cool after you watch the premiere of SCARY SLEEPOVER Season 3!
A few months ago ArieScope launched an IndieGoGo campaign to resurrect Adam Green’s SCARY SLEEPOVER – our most popular original online series. The first two seasons of SCARY SLEEPOVER ran from 2015 to 2016 with a Christmas Special in 2017 and after over 1 million views and countless requests from fans to bring the series back again, last Spring we launched a crowd fund campaign and had two new episodes funded and green-lit… before COVID-19 reared it’s stupid, ugly face and wet the bed at our slumber party. Although our IndiegoGo campaign may have temporarily been paused during the nationwide pandemic shut down, the good news is we were still able to shoot the first two funded episodes!
Episode 3.1 “Doug Benson” will premiere July 4, 2020.
Fans who backed the return of SCARY SLEEPOVER already got to see the first new episode weeks ago as our way of thanking them for being on the front line of the resurrection, but on July 4th the general public will get to see the first new episode of SCARY SLEEPOVER in 4 years! Episode 3.1 “Doug Benson” will be available to stream (FREE) right here on ArieScope.com and on the ArieScope YouTube channel beginning at midnight tonight (12am PST on Saturday July 4th)! Episode 3.2 “Brian Quinn” will premiere later this summer.
Episode 3.2 “Brian Quinn” will premiere later this summer.
Our IndieGoGo campaign has once again been activated – but only for a limited time! Every $5,000 raised = a new episode of SCARY SLEEPOVER. (You can watch the campaign video to get the full scoop right on the IndieGoGo page here.) However many episodes get green-lit in this next phase of the resurrection campaign… that’s the season. While we obviously hope to get to make a full 14 episode season for you (12 new funded episodes + 2 bonus outtake episodes), exactly how many episodes we make is completely up to YOU. We already have 2 episodes made – will we get another 10 funded? If you enjoy the series and want to see more episodes – please help! After doing 2 full seasons and a Christmas Special (29 episodes) for free we simply couldn’t keep doing it without some sort of a budget to pay our crew for their hard work. Our campaign offers some fantastic rewards for fans who give the most generously but every single donation of ANY amount helps. With over 1 million views to the original 2 seasons you would think that this would be a no brainer, right? Well… let’s see! Will the slumber parties continue on or will Season 3 only be a handful of episodes and thus be the final season of SCARY SLEEPOVER ever? Show your support to resurrect the show here!
In response to the recent circumstances surrounding Cinestate (the parent company of Fangoria), THE MOVIE CRYPT has parted ways with the Fangoria Podcast Network. Patreon supporters of our podcast need not worry about any interruption to our program as new episodes will continue to be released on Patreon every Monday morning (every Saturday for those with early access) and all rewards will continue as usual while we re-group and work out our next steps in regards to a new public platform for the podcast. A more detailed announcement is forthcoming.
We thank and love you all for your continued support – these days more than ever.
Sincerely,
Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Arwen

Starting today you can pre-order both of the new NECA official “Victor Crowley” figures and guarantee that you get one when they release this September! Visit our BUY STUFF store for details and to order yours today!
UPDATED MAY 28, 2020: Great news! As business have begin to re-open we are starting to hear back from the various manufacturers and distributors that we have been waiting on for new stock. More stock is on its way for almost every single item we currently sell and you’ll start to see more and more items in our store re-list as “back in stock” over the coming days! As far as the “Victor Crowley” T-shirts and Hoodies that were pre-ordered go, our apparel manufacturer notified us today that the ArieScope warehouse should be receiving them on by June 12th! Our staff will immediately begin shipping them out to customers who pre-ordered them as soon as they arrive in our warehouse. Please note that the postal service has been experiencing their own issues with delays due to the pandemic and all dates should be considered approximate. Thank you for your patience during this extremely challenging time.
We hope that this update finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy during this extremely difficult time. To our fans around the world that have still been reporting to work every day throughout the COVID-19 pandemic – THANK YOU for bravely continuing to go out into the storm in order to make life in quarantine possible for the rest of us. From the doctors, nurses, and medical personnel on the front lines fighting for our lives… to the drivers, food service employees, government employees, and every single other “essential” worker around the planet… THANK YOU for doing what you do in order to help keep others safe at home. For everyone else locked down in isolation during this time, we hope that you’re making the most out of your time in quarantine and staying healthy. THANK YOU for staying home and helping society slow down the outbreak of the Coronavirus.
Hopefully you were able to take part in Adam Green’s month-long CORONAPOCALYPSE live stream series that took place every single day for 28 days straight from March 23rd through April 19th. By the time Adam’s CORONAPOCALYPSE series was over he had given away every single film, television episode, short film, digital series, and other streamable project from his 21+ year career (so far) for FREE to those who attended the daily live shows. Even more important than the free daily content was the amazing community of fans from all over the planet that made the month-long event something that we will never, ever forget. They say that “the worst times bring out the best in us” and after a month of watching fans come together, form friendships, and show such incredible kindness and support to each other we couldn’t agree more. Throughout the CORONAPOCALYPSE series members of the ArieScope family surprised fans in the live chats by showing up to say “hello” and answer questions about whichever film or other project was being shown that day. To the various cast and crew members who joined Adam almost every day (or in producer Sarah Elbert’s case – every single day!!)… THANK YOU. Will Barratt, Robert Pendergraft, Kane Hodder, Joe Lynch, Laura Ortiz, Corri English, Parry Shen, and Dave Foy were often in the daily live chats while Danielle Harris, Joel David Moore, Paul Solet, Jonah Ray, Sean Becker, Adam Rifkin, Felissa Rose, Tiffany Shepis, Alex Pardee, Greg Aronowitz, Derek Mears, Zach Galligan, Caroline Williams, Colton Dunn, Travis Zariwny, Cody Snider, Jan Michael Losada, Matt Latham, Ed Ackerman, Joe Knetter, Rick McCallum, Jeff Davison, and MORE also joined in for select screenings. If you missed the CORONAPOCALYPSE series you can still watch replays of most of the live streams here. While we obviously couldn’t keep the actual feature films and episodic television series episodes up beyond their one-time only live showing (we may have gone a little overboard giving away the entire library of our work for free once a day for a month straight but the Coronavirus pandemic didn’t turn the ArieScope YouTube channel into “ArieScope Pirate Bay”), you can still watch the introductions, Q&A’s, and even re-read the live chat threads from most of the daily streams as you watch along with your own copy/stream/rental at home. If a full day’s show is missing from our YouTube channel it is because it contained copy written content within the stream itself. With features like HATCHET, SPIRAL, CHILLERAMA, etc we played the films themselves off of a temporary Vimeo link but for days where we streamed the content directly on YouTube (for instance there were 7 days in a row where Adam showed every episode of HOLLISTON over the course of week), the entire day’s stream was removed. Please remember that when it comes to our bigger budget productions, the exhibition rights are controlled by the distributors that financed or purchased them. Technically we did not have the legal right to show most of those projects for free but the various distributors that own the rights were kind enough to look the other way or generous enough to grant Adam temporary permission to do his free screenings as long as they only happened live and only once. To the people at these companies who saw all of the good that these free screenings were doing for people and who allowed it to happen… THANK YOU. If Adam’s CORONAPOCALYPSE series proved anything it’s that we truly are all in this pandemic together and that love and kindness are still alive and well in this new COVID-19 world.
Fans created a “Movie Crypt” discord where the live chatting could continue on after Adam Green’s daily CORONAPOCALYPSE series had ended. Join the discord here!
So what about ArieScope’s “Buy Stuff” store? “Is stuff still shipping out during this insanity?” “When will you guys get more stock for the items that are sold out?” “What about the super cool Victor Crowley T-shirts and hoodies we pre-ordered that were originally supposed to ship by April 20th?” We’re all living in the same world that was unexpectedly shut down by the Coronavirus pandemic in March and our guess is just as good as yours as to when exactly the world will “re-open” for business. Until the distributors/manufacturers re-open we can’t order new stock for the items that have sold out. As far as the new Victor Crowley apparel that was pre-ordered goes, our T-shirt manufacturer/printer is still closed down for the moment and there is quite literally nothing any of us can do to make the world become safer any faster besides continuing to stay home in self-quarantine. However, there is some good news! First of all, ArieScope’s staff has continued to safely get orders shipped out throughout the pandemic. In fact, as of the end of this week every order we have received for in-stock items (up until April 27th) will have shipped out! As we’re all seeing on the news, many states are beginning to open back up and therefore it should only be a matter of days before the businesses we depend on to supply us with our merchandise have their lights back on and begin shipping product once again. As soon as they are given the go ahead to re-open our T-shirt manufacturer (located in Temecula, CA) will begin printing the new Victor Crowley apparel and we will be standing by and ready to ship the T-shirts and hoodies out as soon as they arrive in our (gloved) hands! As far as the “sold out” items in our store go, the various distributors that control and manufacture the Blu-Rays of our feature films and television series (located throughout Southern California) will begin shipping us more stock as soon as they have re-opened. As always, you will receive an email from our store with tracking information once your order has shipped.
We’re all remaining optimistic that the first few states opening up for business again early remain safe and do not see another spike in illnesses or hospitalizations. As anxious as we all may be to get back to work and resume a version of “normal” life again, no one wants to see our hospitals become overwhelmed with new cases or the world’s horrific death toll rise any higher than it tragically already has. We understand that you want your stuff and we love you for supporting us directly so that we can continue to entertain you for what we hope will be many years to come! However, we also know that you will agree with us that it is well worth waiting just a little bit longer to receive the merchandise you purchased if remaining shut down means controlling the spread of COVID-19 and thus saving thousands of lives.
Our entire ArieScope family of humans, canines, felines, monsters, and talking puppets has our fingers, toes, paws, bloody claws, and plush puppet hands crossed that the world will be back on its feet very soon! Thank you for your continued support and patience while we all get through this together. Lastly, a HUGE thank you to those who have donated to ArieScope (the “Feed Arwen a Treat” option in our store) as a way of showing your appreciation for the month of free daily CORONAPOCALYPSE live shows! The pandemic has thrown most of society into financial dire straits and we’d be lying if we tried to tell you that we’re not among the many businesses worried for our survival. Thank you so very much for showing us some love in return during this difficult time.
Wash your hands and stay safe!
As we all hunker down in quarantine and get through the global COVID-19 pandemic together, Adam Green will be performing daily FREE live streams on ArieScope’s YouTube channel (HERE) starting Monday March 23rd! It’s just Adam and ArieScope’s way of keeping our fans entertained as we endure this very difficult and frightening time period in history. The most recent schedule of live events can be found below. Please note: Due to the fact that literally everyone in the world is online and using YouTube during this time, live streams could appear glitchy at times or even go down briefly. Please be patient if that should happen during any of these events. Should the stream go down we will get it started again as soon as we can.
Unless YouTube decides otherwise, all movies/TV episodes will indeed be streamed for FREE on our channel at these times! Adam will be on camera to introduce all screenings and then come back on afterwords to engage in a Q&A with the live audience and share stories about the making of each project. You never know who else may show up in the chat room or possibly even join Adam in the ArieScope studio!
Adam Green and Arwen are working overtime to keep you entertained!
We love our fans and we want to do our part to keep you entertained/distracted while we all deal with the real life horrors of the CoronaVirus happening outside our doors. We hope that these events help make your time in self-quarantine just a little bit easier to handle. Simply go to ArieScope’s YouTube channel HERE (www.YouTube.com/ArieScope) at the appropriate times to enjoy each event. You will need an active YouTube account in order to post comments in the various chat threads for each event.
For those that are part of THE MOVIE CRYPT podcast’s PATREON Adam Green, Joe lynch, and Arwen have already been working hard to bring Patreon members extra bonus content almost daily since the COVID-19 virus first hit the United States and an emergency pandemic was declared by the US government. THE MOVIE CRYPT will continue to release new episodes every Monday as usual but Patreon supporters will be receiving TONS of bonus content in addition to all of the weekly/monthly rewards they already receive!

Be safe out there and don’t forget to wash your hands! This too shall pass. We’ve got this.
DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC ALL SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY SHUT DOWN IN THE UNITED STATES. THEREFORE, NO APPAREL CAN BE PRODUCED BY OUR MANUFACTURER/DISTRIBUTOR UNTIL IT IS SAFE FOR NON-ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES TO OPEN AGAIN.
SINCE THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING EXACTLY WHEN THE COVID-19 EPIDEMIC WILL BE CONSIDERED “UNDER CONTROL” ENOUGH BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FOR BUSINESSES TO RE-OPEN, WE ARE EXTENDING OUR PRE-ORDER PERIOD FOR THE TIME BEING.
AS SOON AS BUSINESSES ARE ALLOWED TO OPEN AGAIN AND OUR MANUFACTURER IS ONCE AGAIN REACHABLE, WE’LL POST A NEW EXPECTED DATE THAT T-SHIRTS AND HOODIES WILL BEGIN SHIPPING. UNTIL THEN, THERE IS QUITE LITERALLY NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO EXCEPT PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR SAFETY AND A SPEEDY RECOVERY FOR EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD SUFFERING FROM THIS TERRIBLE ILLNESS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. PLEASE STAY HOME (IF YOU ARE A NON-ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEE) AND STAY SAFE.
