Shorts

Since 1998 ArieScope Pictures has always created short films in between our feature films and television shows. These “just for fun” projects remind us where we came from and keep our original spirit alive and unbroken while operating within the grueling Hollywood system. Here you’ll find our annual Halloween short films (always made with the same rule of “one night, no budget, and just for fun”) as well as many other side projects that we’ve created over the years!

Steven’s Room (2003)

PLAY

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.

Oh, Sherrie (2002)

PLAY

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)

PLAY

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)

PLAY

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.
