The latest annual Halloween short from ArieScope is here and features some very creepy, furry creatures.
For those of you who don't know, ArieScope is the production company founded by Adam Green (director of the Hatchet films, Frozen and Fear.net's Holliston series) and every year they release a short movie to celebrate Halloween.
While not the best of the shorts they've released, it's still pretty funny and worth watching (if you're into the campy horror/gore genre...or hate Muppets).
You can check out their back-catalogue of shorts via the ArieScope website or via their YouTube channel.
There's no denying that alcohol can immensely improve upon a movie watching experience (hell, some movies require alcohol to be watched in the first place). Then there comes a time when you're sitting with friends, you've had a few (or lot) and you start talking about how you'd improve the movie. This is normally where the devotion stops. Some people may go further and try to rewrite the film, only to realise in the morning how terrible their version was. What rarely happens is people sit down to write a movie with the intention of writing it drunk, and that's what has happened with Star Drunk.
To make things better, the entire film was acted by drunk actors. And the results are pretty hilarious (as well as pretty successful, all things considering).
One only has to look back at the golden years of Hollywood to remember that every actor would often loose themselves in an alcoholic mist; icons such as Richard Burton, Oliver Reed, Peter O'Toole would normally prove hard to work with such was their devotion to the drink.
If only film-makers back then had just decided to shoot the whole movie with their actors inebriated. Cleopatra would have been a much more impressive spectacle.
