Jonni Shandor has been a fan of horror films since she was about 6 years old. Her love of horror as well as performing in front of others brought her to horror conventions where she takes on challenging cosplays, performs 80s metal cover songs, and hosts events in front of hundreds. Jonni's passion for acting and performing has brought her a whole new love for the film industry.. During quarantine, while all her film opportunities were postponed, she took advantage of the time off at just 8 years old. Jonni ended up deciding to write and direct her own films. Such as, 'There's an Alien in My Backyard', and 'Should We Be Doing This?'. Jonni Shandor also found herself as the star of a one person variety show, 'Scary Haggis', where she was able to become familiar with being in front of, and behind the camera. She can be seen in horror films such as The Embalmers, He Knows, and Parallels. With Guest Cohost Freddy Cruz.
