Trivia

Grew up in Holliston, Massachusetts and graduated from Hofstra University in New York.

First job out of college was producing and directing local cable commercials in the Boston area.

His first feature film was the comedy Coffee & Donuts, based on his own life. He made it for only $400 by "borrowing" equipment from the cable advertising facility he worked at and by using friends and volunteers for everything from cast to crew. The movie was bought by Disney/Touchstone and developed as a sit-com for UPN in 2004. The pilot script was written by Green and produced by Tom Shadyac's Shady Acres. The fate of the show is still unknown.

He founded "ArieScope Pictures" with director of photography Will Barratt in 1997.

He was once the lead singer for the metal band Haddonfield based out of Salem, Massachusetts. He also worked as the DJ at the world famous Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, where he still returns to perform stand-up comedy every few months.

It is actually Adam Green in the Dr. Zaius make-up on the cover art for Fox's Planet of the Apes 40th Anniversary DVD set. When the studio realized that they had no high resolution photos of the 1968 film's characters, they resurrected the original prosthetics and wardrobe out of storage to stage a photo shoot. Knowing that Green was a Planet of the Apes fan, the Make-Up FX studio contacted him to come down and try on the iconic costume. He wound up standing in for the late Maurice Evans and it is actually Green on the DVD, cover art, and box set images.

Turned down the opportunity to direct Black Christmas (2006).

Personal Quotes

Remember, at the end of the day we're not curing cancer. We're just making life more entertaining before we get cancer.

I have found that my fan base is a bit above average when compared to the common horror fan. For instance, I did an appearance in Chicago where a kid drove something crazy like 7 hours to meet me. He knew no one else at the convention but within an hour he had met up with other kids in their Hatchet Army Tshirts and they were all very cool to each other. They were nice, normal people much like the good kids you would have known in High School. And I like that. There's enough negativity in the world and everyone has to take enough shit in life. I'm glad I can encourage people treating each other well and being happy. Let's face it; there are horror fans who can be dicks. Trying to be tougher than the next one, trying to be more outspoken and angry than the rest as if they are in the pit at a Pantera show trying to show how much bigger their cock is. I personally like knowing that 99% of the time, the kid in the Hatchet shirt is not the asshole in the room. I'm vocal about it and I thank my fans for that all of the time. I like that conventions want me to appear and festivals want me to come speak because they like the climate I attract. It's a good feeling.
