The Haunted Baby Carriage From Hell
In this LGBTQ+ Comedy Horror Short Film, Spencer and Cameron move into a new house that just so happens to be haunted by an old baby carriage. As the carriage endeavors to scare the couple, the attempts ultimately fail because the couple just doesn't care... like... you know... at all.
"The Haunted Baby Carriage From Hell" features a hilarious performance by cult actress Kelli Maroney ("Night Of The Comet", "Chopping Mall", "Fast Times At Ridgemont High") and a special appearance by MONEYPENNY as "Princess Peaches".

Ever since JT was a wee lad growing up in Bakersfield, CA., he had always wanted to be an artist, whether it was making stop-motion animation (using Star Wars action figures as actors) with his dad's Super8 film camera or creating Polaroid collages. Art and artistic expression has always been a huge part of who he is.
JT graduated from California Institute of the Arts with a Masters Degree in Film Directing. Shortly after snagging a diploma, he made a short horror film called "Nightshadows". His leap into the world of feature films came with the horror/comedy "George: A Zombie Intervention". The film screened all over the world, winning multiple awards before landing a distribution deal with Breaking Glass Pictures. Next came "Divination", a multi award winning short film. "Divination" found a home at the Hillbilly Horror Show (Vol. 3). "The Peripheral" followed, screening at over 80 film festivals world-wide, also winning multiple awards in the process. In 2020, JT made the short drama/horror film “Do We Really Have To Say Goodbye” for Dekkoo Films.
In addition to his own little terror creations, JT co-founded and ran the NOLA Horror Film Fest (in New Orleans, LA) from 2010 to 2021. In 2022, he founded the Queer Screams Film Festival (in Portland, OR) – a celebration of LGBTQ+ Genre Cinema.
Two years ago, I went to an "epic garage sale" at an antique mall. There, I spotted a vintage baby carriage. I thought, "How cool is that vintage baby carriage?" It was $60. I thought, "Hmmm. That vintage baby carriage is sixty dollars." So, I passed. Two days later, everything unsold at the antique mall epic garage sale was 50% off. The vintage baby carriage was still there. Now it was only $30. I thought, "Hmmm. That vintage baby carriage is thirty dollars. I should buy it." So, I did. Then it sat in my basement for over a year. One day when I was doing laundry, I saw the carriage in the corner. I thought, “Hmmm. I should finally do something with that vintage baby carriage.” So, I did. And THE HAUNTED BABY CARRIAGE FROM HELL was born.
