WINTERPORT, Maine (AP) $ A Winterport man has made a short movie that's No. 1 in downloads of films in the Xbox Live horror series.

John Clisham's film "Janitor" premiered two days before Halloween and received 16,000 downloads the first week. The 28-year-old Clisham says Xbox Live has 15 million subscribers.

"Janitor" tells the tale of a high school girl who must stay late for detention. That's when a creepy-looking janitor spots her walking down the hall. Clisham describes "Janitor" as a film in which "horror meets comedy."

Clisham and his wife, Jenna Pitula, are also working on other movie projects.
