The Mask Maker The monstrous mask trope (“Goosebumps” The Haunted Mask, “The Twilight Zone” The Masks) gets a modern update with this Crypt TV short by director John William Ross as three “clever” college dudes make it their mission to find the scariest masks they can find to scare (and score) with some girls at […]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! The one day of the year that it’s acceptable for us to howl at the moon after midnight, gorge ourselves on teeth-rotting treats and run around in masks screaming “Look at me, I’m Leatherface!” is finally upon us. In tribute to this gloriously ghoulish holiday, I’ve chosen three horror shorts perfect for getting […]

In anticipation of Halloween, Cheetos has teamed up with North Carolina-based production company, Athena Studios, for this frightfully fun stop motion short film entitled THE DELIVERY. Yes, it’s basically just one long commercial for Cheetos, but any excuse to see stop motion artists at work (and for a Halloween short to boot!) is fine by […]

TURBO KID Gets a Prequel…Of Sorts
As one of our favorite films of 2015, Turbo Kid was an awe-inspiring indie film with tons of heart, some solid practical effects and a great storyline. Things have been relatively quiet since the film’s debut, however, until earlier this week when RKSS (Anouk Whissell, François Simard, Yoann-Karl Whissell)—the trio behind Turbo Kid—released the following […]

If the members of GWAR and Daft Punk decided to one day break off and form some sort of three-man mega-group, I’d imagine the result would be akin to Nightsatan and the Loops of Doom. Directed by CHRZU (Christer Lindström) and described as ” ultimate post-apocalyptic synthesizer short film”—Nightsatan was originally released in 2013 and […]

ArieScope Pictures annual tradition continues this year (as does mine) with a brand new Halloween short entitled MONSTER PROBLEMS. While in recent years these shorts have been a bit of a hit or miss or me—at least compared to Driving Lesson (2012), Jack Chop (2009) and The Tiffany Problem (2007)—this year’s entry is a return […]
