More About "Baby Fever":
It’s Spring 1972, and senior Donna Hartman is at her peak. She’s
the most popular girl in school, she’s dating the star quarterback, and
most importantly, she’s a shoo-in for Prom Queen. After losing her
virginity leads to a peculiar and rapidly growing pregnancy, her looks
and her social life are turned upside down. The once confident
bombshell deteriorates as the creature inside her only grows
stronger, and she is forced to make some difficult choices to protect
her chances at the crown.

Hi! I'm Hannah, the director of BABY FEVER! Thanks for watching our wacky, gory little film. Feel free to AMA!
@hannahmayfilm No offense ma'am but it was extremely gross! Also it was Baker who betrayed her. Why was his new partner punished? And the rest of the crowd was innocent except Baker's black friend.
@@The_Beast_666technically yes Trip betrayed her, but Brenda also had a part in it, she knew Trip and Donna were together, but still went with Trip to the prom, you can tell she was jealous of Donna from the beginning before she threw up on her, the way she looked at Donna at the prom was the "I win" sort of face.
I enjoyed it ^~^ I love creepy crawlies..keep up the good work!
Why the 70s as setting? It gave me a Carrie vibe, was that the intention ? Sorry for bad english 20:42
This was really well done, I want to see more from you!!!
Notice how her "best friend" starts immediately copying her let alone her hairstyle, just prove she wanted steal her bf from the start.
Classic move! Thanks for watching @jolexvillanueva3099! 👻
I play Trip Baker 🏈 grateful to be a part of this awesome project. Feel free to reply to this comment with any questions about the character or anything Baby Fever!!
Great work! 🙏
@@momomomohito thank you!!
You acted so well
this by far is my favorite Alter! i loved everything about it! it was just the right length too…sometimes i want them to go on a little longer, and this one did…bravo! you and the whole production of this should be very proud!♥️💕✌🏻🫶
Natural actor👏👏
That toilet scene wasn’t necessary I was eating 😂😂😂
I was drinking, and almost spit on my poor cat, that how funny it was. Look at those, I m mama now, but still miss world....BABY....😂😂😂🎉🎉
It was funny
sorry! not a recommended watch on your lunch break!
I was too 😅
Same! 😂😂😂
This was Carrie meets Slither! I LOVED IT!!
That slushy vomit reminded me of pie eating contest in Stand By Me. Lol
same 😂😂
I had to look away quick because I have emetophobia
Oh my God you're so right! It wasn't that gross cuz it just looked like fruit punch
I remember the 70s quite clearly, as I was in highschool at the time. You all captured the sheer horror of a highschool prom back then perfectly. Bravo to all!
im so glad to hear this! thank you!!
and thiiiis is why we don't get caught up in the stupid obsession of prom
Yup I went but I had a bf that wanted to go lol football player & friends that went. Never was a preppy teen more metal head.
Okay for Carrie vs Aliens with just a hint of Heathers
💀💀💀
and sprinkle a little Freebird at the end!
@@eval1313 So true
This was an awesome short movie! Loved the 70s-Carrie-Night Of The Creeps-vibe! This worked on so many levels!
The acting was great, as was the story! Great use of practical effects and gore! Even the camera work was awesome! Great job to all involved!! Would love to see more!
Thanks for watching @mrx1333! 👻 Hannah definitely got the assignment - lots of amazing odes to horror greats. We love her so much and can't wait to see what she makes next.
@WatchALTER Same here! Looking forward to her next project!
This short film was terrifyingly fun, I liked the 70’s setting with those old school special effects... 🎥🍿😂👍
thank you so much! Our SFX artist, Carlo Mery, worked with us from the very beginning to develop the creatures. He's amazing!
"abort mission" with the coat hanger, lmao
new graffiti tag just dropped
Body horror, parasites, inhuman offspring, revenge story, a nod to Carrie. And toward the end... Donna's rocking the walking dead vibe. If you told me she was a zombie, and maybe threw on a few prosthetic wounds... she'd be nailing it in the facial expressions.
Let’s ignore the fact that she threw up a whole red foundation, ate a frog, and gave birth to ringworms💀
NBD!!
You've never done this? 🐸 Thanks for watching @HVIC10! 👻
An embalmed frog! Those things are always dripping with formaldehyde
aww, i just love a story with a happy ending
I believe that this horror short film was a different way of showing people how women suffer from teenage pregnancy, but in a kind of crazy way, which is normal for Alter to do 🤡
spot on! glad you enjoyed the flick :)
yeah it kinda blew my mind how many people didn't get it lol
I graduated high school in the 70's. You nailed the look and feel of the time. The writing, costume design, cinematograph, directing. And the acting was pitch perfect. Thank you for this.
im so happy to hear that. thank you so much for your kind words!
Especially the puka shell necklace on the dude!!!
Alter stepping up their game.
Kind of Carrie meets Night of the Creeps
I had actually never seen Night of the Creeps until after I made this movie. They totally go together perfectly!!
@hannahmayfilm what did you think of Night Of The Creeps? It's so awesome!
Well, that's one way to get the crown! This was really well done!!! Great work from every person involved! We need more with these actors and this director!
thank you so much! we would love to make a feature film version!
We
How the thing nodded its head 😭
Great film. Loved when the big one popped out the king of the prom head. GORE GORE GORE
Lmao i lost it when they showed the lil coochie gremlins sliding across the floor and attacking people this is suppose to be horror but this was comical to me good job ALTER 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ❤
Enjoyed this film great work. I so prefer watching alter films to full length releases these days day better quality and acting 💀💀
Thanks for watching @halloweenspookygirluk9595! 👻 That means a lot to us. We're so lucky to work with such amazing filmmakers. What a treat to be able to host their work on the channel.
That's one heck of a frenemy.
Real life horror innit. Thanks for watching @user-Aa310! 👻
The little fvking point from Trip like "who me?" and the little gremlin going "yep!"
The ending scene is giving Ballad of Sarah Berry, and I love it.
This kinda reminds me of Insatiable ngl 😭😭
Dude-this was so good that the one scene with the close hanger actually made my stomach hurt! Keep up the creativity and work
Awesome job Alter, did not disappoint 🎉😊
🤘🙏
thank you!!
The dream scene is giving Melanie martinez
that what i was thinking!!!!
Early!! And I actually felt pain in my stomach while watching this 💀
😂😂
thats the best compliment ever!
Donna's actress is very good! I feel ill just by watching her.
Damn, I love it! I am a horror fan, and could see this as a feature. I love the small creature sub-genre, like critters, gremlins, ghoulies. This was Carrie, Night of the Creeps, and Slither in one short film. Also I have to mention the important topic of Women's reproductive choices, and the horror's of having your body invaded by a foreign entity. Love the 70's, and 80's look and theme, this is my kind of movie, reminds me of some of my other favs like Frank Hennenlotter, Stuart Gordon, Anthony Hickox, and Roger Corman.Thank you for sharing this film, and keeping the spirit of these colorful comedy/horror films alive! I hope this director makes more films!
hi!! you are spot in with all of these references! im so glad you understood what we were going for :) thanks for the kind words. if you like Dario Argento, I also have a giallo short film on Alter called 'FANATICO'
@@hannahmayfilm I absolutely love giallo, and Argento. I saw the card at the end of "Baby Fever" I'm gonna check it out ASAP! So excited to see more of your stuff. Please keep making films, I am a fan!
Very Freebird at the end, loved it!
23:24 aww the eraserhead baby is all grown up now.
It’s like Carrie meets Eraserhead 😅
This is totally irrelevant to the story line but I feel was an important detail! Having people waaaaaay grown out of their teenage years (who clearly look a lot older than a 17yr old) playing teenagers. This was a HUGE thing in the 70s and 80s (especially if you look at slasher movies made around this time)
I just thought it was a neat detail!
Hollywood still does this but I think they use the idea of the characters being teens less these days and have the characters in their early 20s as it’s easier to find actors who look a lot younger for their age these days, but anyway, if it was done purposefully (which I believe it was because clearly the director and writer really are into the 70s movie aesthetic) I dig that 👌🏽
Hey Hannah, it s was soooo terrific !
I had a great time and laughter 😄
Thanks !
thank you so so much!!! im so glad you had fun with it :)
@@hannahmayfilm it s so nice to be able to talk directly with the artist like you, looking the finish product and be responding to the auditor must change a bit the way it s communicate to make cinéma compare to the social media.
A lot of words mishmash, pardon, but all of this to say it s nice to have direct access to talk to each other within the place you place your product for us to see.
The actress was awesome.
The Rouss was a lady I would have 👊 punch. Ahah
I reached fast as a sonic.
This seems to actually read as a warning to having abortion taken away as a choice, or as having pregnancy pushed on someone that doesn't want it. It's got a goofy spin, but im guessing that's for the sake of making it viewer friendly in a dichotomous environment.
Good job, guys. I liked it a lot.
I came for the thumbnail, and words are failing me. What the heck, Alter?
Also, congratulations, Donna. Carrie would be proud!
Oh my godddd idk what it is about prom queen horror but i LOVE IT
prom queen horror is THE BEST
This movie hit different when you have tokophobia 😫
I feel you.......
What's that?
@@Fnafiac fear of childbirth
The ginger girl is so pretty but she wasnt a very good friend lol
The horrors of teen pregnancy in the 70s LMAO.
Amazing video 📹
& donna got to be prom queen
Happy ending
Damn this was a crazy horror film and the end was sweet in a twisted way
4:42
the way the characters interact is so violently obnoxious and annoying, perfectly encapsulates highschoolers
a 90s movie of the 70s Carrie
cool!!
70's Vibe
I might have thrown up in my throat while watching.This was so good though
Love the 70s vibe
Great cinematography, writing, and scenes!
Top notch everything.
Veronica and I both wished we had watched it sooner. We may have avoided because of the horror, yet your camp humor makes horror fun!
Im not a big fan of Brandy at all she seems sus
Brendy is hella sus, don’t trust her.
I thought it was Brendy
@@Savage503 it is 😂 Brandy is a typo
@@louis.llewellyn she's def not to be trusted
High school is the greatest of horrors. Thanks for watching @sierraraii24! 👻
I really love badly animated horror monsters made of toys. This film is awesome, super fun! Congrats, people!
LOVED IT ALTER the gorier the better that's what horror movies are always about you guys ROCK!!!!
So well done!
The worst vomit scene ever… and I loved it!
What a GAG, am I right @greggonzalez661?! 😜
The packaging of the story presented is very good, congratulations to the director and team.
Why why why why whyyyyy, do tv/movies portray make outs like that? Heavy breathing, fast kissing, like they running late for something! Is that a white people thing? Serious question
They are in fact running late! 😂They’re sneaking around on lunch break and they only have 5 minutes.
@@louis.llewellyn but im talking in general though lol
@@Kickflaireeright, just giving context for this scene. Generally? Idk maybe to raise the stakes, make it feel more intense?
@@louis.llewellyn i get the she is on her lunch break rush, but in general lol it’s always fast paced seems more like a workout 😂
maybe you're just in better shape than the rest of us.....!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This isn’t horror, this is a comedy !!!
The music is giving me Lynnard Skynnard Free Bird vibes
Freaking awesome, loved it.
Thanks for watching @MrBaba65! We also freaking love it. Can't tell you how many rewatches we've had.
Grest job to everyone who helped with this!!!!!
So badass - I loved it! All the actors were amazing.
😅😅😅 this was fun! Very well done!!!😂😂😂
Love the colors
Good slithery job 😮
*COOL SOUNDTRACK!!!*
pov nancy from stranger things
Wowza, awesome video! And Donna, Carrie would be proud!
Why they dressed like the Scooby Doo characters 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😭😭
Very good.
Reminiscent of The Deadly Spawn.
❤
Yes! That was our SFX Director Carlo Mery's main inspiration. :)
10:10 REINCARNATED ALBERT EINSTEIN!!!!
(March 14th, 1879 - April 18th, 1955)
If Carrie and Alien had a baby this film would be it
Love the 70's setting, that scene on the rink made me think of The Exorcist fans know what I mean 😂 Donna's friend copying her hairstyle etc to steal her bf
Totally a blast!!!😂😂😂
I want to see a colab with cryptied tv and y'all here make something new together
two words RIP and TEAR
Excellent short comedy horror! Cinema-worthy!
Feels like I was on a bad acid trip
2:15 😮😮
This was freaking sweet!
