In 1998 Adam Green and Will Barratt made the short film COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND where Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers stalked the same campsite by mistake and then fell in love. It was simply made as a fun thing to screen for a few friends at a local Halloween party, but with that short film ArieScope Pictures was born. Since that fateful Halloween, the core group of the ArieScope team has made it an annual tradition to get together each October and make a “Halloween Short Film” for the web. It’s a way to celebrate the past year and remind ourselves that the work doesn’t always have to be so serious. For some of us it’s like a reset button each year when we can sit back and laugh while we remind ourselves why we ever started doing this in the first place. The rules of the Halloween short have always been simple: A one night shoot, there can be no budget, we just do it for fun, and the short has to have some sort of relation to the greatest holiday of the year. Below you’ll find the entire collection of our annual Halloween shorts for your viewing enjoyment.
