The absolutely terrifying marketing campaign for Longlegs continues – and now you can be a part of it.
A new billboard has popped in Los Angeles with nothing but a phone number and Nicolas Cage's serial killer character hiding in the corner. Distributor Neon posted an image of the billboard with the caption, "Call the Man Downstairs." If you call the number, it rings a few times before Cage's killer picks up and asks your name and if you're Rachel... before breathing rather excitedly and heavily. There's some more excited babbling and a whole lot of breathing before he finally says, "I'll be...waiting," and hangs up.
And if the phone call doesn't freak you out, head on over to The Birthday Murders. The creepy – and graphic – site catalogs each of the murders in grave detail, listing 38 kills in total of "honest fathers, decent mothers, innocent little children."
