Parry Shen is delighted by how his new Tivo has changed his life, until the machine becomes obsessed with him and begins killing people. (Check out all the t-shirts he wears.) Doing the short reminded Parry of the fun times he had shooting “Asia Street Comedy” on the defunct AZN. Watch the short below and find out what Parry’s favorite part is.

Writer/Director Adam Green’s 2008 Halloween short film. Here’s a quote from Adam Green – “After a few month of trying out DVR service, I had no choice but to switch back to the reliability and comforting sounds of TiVo. But I gotta admit, my TiVo knows me so well it can be a bit …scary. Our ten year anniversary Halloween short film is our best yet and stars Hatchet’s Parry Shen. As always – no money, no time, no crew, and a ton of fun!”

The TiVo

Parry Shen’s favorite parts are all the stuff that they added in postproduction. Like with the stabbing scene at the end, on that take he had decided to: stab, sob, then start viciously stabbing again — and in post, they added in TiVO noises in between to hint at TiVO being still alive, hence justifying his second wave of stabbings, Paul Solet adding his funny quips in between his phone conversations, syncing TiVO “boops” to its footsteps walking backwards after watching him sleep.
