That’s when things in horror films generally take a sharp detour into pure nightmare material while typical pregnancy announcements stay incredibly, nauseatingly chipper. Not so for Judy and [Gavin Holt’s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLN%5FmAxlB28) announcement. The couple took a page out of the horror genre and made a downright frightening birth announcement. “I can feel it grow inside of me,” whispers Judy, while extreme camera angles and ominous music set the scene. A voiceover darkly announces: “There’s something in the oven!” Could it be a bun? After a frightening trip to the doctor (“What’s happening to me?” Judy pleads) and an extreme close-up of a jar of Prego pasta sauce (get it?), soon enough, the message becomes clear: there’s a baby on the way. Hopefully one that doesn’t mind having extremely goofy parents. Though a lot of viral pregnancy announcements come under fire for seeming (or actually being) fake, this video is so out there and unexpected it should still earn the creative couple a foot in the door in Hollywood’s horror community. \[H/T [Daily Dot](http://www.dailydot.com/lol/baby-announcement-video-horror-movie-trailer/?fb=dd)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4038489/pregnancy-announcement-horror-film/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4038489/pregnancy-announcement-horror-film/"},"headline":"This Couple Turned Their Pregnancy Announcement Into a Horror Film","datePublished":"2015-09-17T15:13:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:24:51.377Z","description":"\"I can feel it grow inside of me\"","url":"https://time.com/4038489/pregnancy-announcement-horror-film/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Children","Pregnancy","Viral Videos","families"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4038489/pregnancy-announcement-horror-film/","name":"This Couple Turned Their Pregnancy Announcement Into a Horror Film"}}]}] ```
