Ever wonder why we carve pumpkins on Halloween night? One couple learns the hard way just how serious the legend of “Jack” is and why you never, ever blow out the Jack O’ Lantern before midnight.
Halloween Shorts
Oh, Sherrie (2002)
When Craig met Sherrie at a party back in 1989, emotions ran high, sparks flew, and Sherrie wound up being stalked. Shot on film and one of the biggest productions in ArieScope Halloween short film history, OH SHERRIE remains one of our very favorite short films that we’ve ever made.
Stagefright (2001)
Based on writer/director Adam Green’s real life phobia of public bathrooms, our 2nd annual Halloween short was shot on film, features the biggest cast ever used in an ArieScope short, and remains one of the most ambitious productions of all of our Halloween short films.
Columbus Day Weekend (1998)
When Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers stalk the same campsite by mistake, horny teens are slashed and true love and companionship is found. Created merely as a joke to screen at an upcoming Halloween party in 1998, COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND may be the most amateur thing we’ve ever made… but it was our very first short and the one that started it all for ArieScope Pictures. Keep an eye out for the first use of the “sander to the face gag” which we perfected a decade later in HATCHET.
