Holliston Unofficial Fan Chat - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Many may never have heard of the show. Holliston was a horror comedy developed originally for UPN in the early 2000's if memory serves me right. After the UPN and WB merger the show was then abandoned by the newly formed CW. After successfully directing four movies Adam Green returns his focus on Holliston. Eventually finding a home on the horror based network FearNet.

I personally love the shows chemistry. Yes, Adam did cast his friends for roles loosely based on themselves. I guess you can say I'm a fan of the humor brought by mixing horror with comedy. The show is predominantly comedy based. Not to mention all of the icons of horror that make appearances throughout the series.

Love Holliston, love Adam Green's films, and most of Joe Lynch's films. The concept, minus the horror slant was also the basis for Adam's first movie Coffee & Donuts. When asked if that movie will ever be released on home media, Adam just tells them to watch Holliston.

The crew and much of the cast of Holliston are a part of Adam's films. And Adam of course references his own films through out the series, mainly his Hatchet films.

Sadly Fearnet is gone. But, unless it has changed, GeekNation has picked up Holliston for season 3.

I have season 1 and 2, both were great releases with lots of extra features, and they even included the Holliston Christmas Special on season 2's release.

Good to see a fellow fan!

I've never had the pleasure of meeting another loyal Adam Green and Joe Lynch fan. I to bought the seasons on Blu-ray. I've been a die hard Adam Green fan since I saw Hatchet back in 2009 on Starz one night.

It's good to learn GeekNation picked it up. At one time Adam said he wanted to do a independent release for season 3. I'm just happy knowing it's gonna get made. I'm honestly hoping he gets all the guest spots he wanted for it. Like he expressed interest in getting Warwick Davis, Nick Castle and Corey Feldman to make appearances.

I know he's currently on a tour screening films and doing conventions.

The cast of HOLLISTON find themselves in a scary situation when a rehearsal goes horribly wrong.

ArieScope's 19th annual Halloween short film stars Adam Green, Joe Lynch, Laura Ortiz, Corri English, and more of your favorites from the TV series.

Well, I don't think he'll have a hard time getting Feldman. It'd also be neat to see other Hatchet actors Zach Galligan, Caroline Williams, Robert Englund.

The Halloween short films are great. Also love the Jack Chop (Slap Chop spoof) videos. I didn't link them considering the language. But Paul Solet who does these plays the same character on Holliston in the second season (Paul Solet also directed the Adam Green produced horror film Grace)

I'd mark out for a Zach Galligan appearance big time. At one time Robert was supposed be in season 2. Due to scheduling conflicts he couldn't make it. I was never a fan of Caroline Williams really. Though it'd be cool if she was in it with a TCM II reference.

I agree Feldman would be the easiest one to get on the show for a episode. It's Warwick Davis that would be the hardest to get in my opinion. Especially to get him in the states to only shoot for a day.

I really wanna see Bruce Campbell eventually do a episode the most. Though I can imagine it'd never happen anytime soon unfortunately.
