by | March 12th, 2013

Hell Baby, a horror comedy written and directed by Reno 911! and The State's Tom Lennon and Ben Garant, is coming your way this fall.

Rob Corddry Is Having Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant's Hell Baby

by | March 21st, 2012

Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant are stepping out of the screenwriting circle and into the directing triangle with horror comedy Hell Baby, starring Rob Corddry and Leslie Bibb as a young couple who have a…hell baby. Lennon and Garant will also star as "the Vatican's elite exorcism team" called in to defeat the demon seed.

The Set of Hell Baby Seems Like the Best Set

by | April 16th, 2012

Look at those guys – so great, so pretend serious ("Why so serious?" – Joker, R.I.P.).

Lennon and Garant play priests called upon to exorcise Rob Corddry and Leslie Bibb's haunted house. Scheer and Huebel probably play cops or strippers or costume salesmen. The cast also includes Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel & Oates) and Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele) and generally seems like the best. If you're in New Orleans, please go hang out with them and report back. Scheer recounted on his [...]
