The Birthday Murders: Viral Marketing Website Launches for ‘Longlegs’

NEON has been absolutely slaying the marketing game for their horror output this year, and they’re kicking the Longlegs campaign into high gear with one more month until release.

A cryptic ad in The Seattle Times today (seen below) has led clever horror fans to discover TheBirthdayMurders.net, the brand new official viral marketing website for Longlegs.

The in-universe website details the victims of the serial killer known as Longlegs (Nicolas Cage), described as a “Satan-worshipping psycho” who has terrorized families throughout the Pacific Northwest for nearly three decades.

The website details, “A bloody trail of bodies here in the great state of Oregon attests to the depraved savagery of this one-of-a-kind serial killer. With over three dozen victims that we know of, LONGLEGS is one of the most prolific mass murderers ever to have graced the region, and his gruesome endeavors are the stuff of nightmares. At first, all of the killings appeared to be straightforward murder-suicides: the handiwork of average men who suddenly snapped and slaughtered their wives and children. But a series of eerie coded messages left at the crime scenes indicate that someone – or something – is influencing these horrific crimes. The cryptic letters are signed by someone calling himself LONGLEGS.”

“With thirty-eight kills to his name, LONGLEGS has torn apart the lives of eleven different families throughout the Beaver State. His victims were good people: honest fathers, decent mothers, innocent little children.”

The website is loaded with secrets, clues, and gruesome (faux) crime scene photos, and you might even find a mention of yours truly nestled in there. Poke around. Stay a while.

Longlegs arrives in theaters July 12.

The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.

In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.

The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”

The 10 Best Pixar Characters, Ranked

With Inside Out 2 now in theaters, let’s take a look at the 10 best Pixar characters from the company’s nearly 30-year history. Did your favorite make the list?

‘Enemy Mine’ Remake on the Way With “Star Trek: Picard” Showrunner Set to Write

The 1985 cult sci-fi movie Enemy Mine is getting a modern update for 20th Century Studios. While no director has been set yet, THR reports that “Star Trek: Picard” showrunner Terry Matalas will write the remake.

The 1985 film was set in an ongoing interstellar war between humans and a reptilian alien race and starred Dennis Quaid as a human pilot and Louis Gossett Jr. as an alien.  The enemies crash land on a desolate planet, where they’re forced to overcome their prejudices and extreme hatred of one another to survive. Then, a baby enters the equation. It’s a tearjerker.

Enemy Mine was based on a novella by the sci-fi author Barry B. Longyear. The novella was originally published in Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine in 1979. It was followed by two sequels and eventually collected as a trilogy published under The Enemy Papers.

The film marked the English-language debut of German filmmaker Wolfgang Petersen (Poseidon, The Perfect Storm, Outbreak), who took over a tumultuous production when original director Richard Loncraine was fired. The film, released in December 1985, failed to entice audiences at the box office but would later earn its cult status for its timeless themes of tolerance and acceptance.

As for the remake, there is currently no producer or director on board as of yet.

Before steering the final season of “Star Trek: Picard” to new critical and rating success, Terry Matalas served as the creator and showrunner of the sci-fi series “12 Monkeys” and executive produced the rebooted “MacGyver” series. In other words, it sounds like Matalas is well-equipped to tackle this particular project. 

With only a scribe in place for this remake, expect to hear a lot more about Enemy Mine remake plans in the coming months. Stay tuned.

‘Circles’ – Sequel to the 2015 Horror Movie ‘Circle’ in the Works

“It’s us… we’re choosing who dies.” That’s the horrifying realization at the center of Circle, a psychological horror movie from 2015 that is now getting a sequel almost 10 years later.

Variety reports that the upcoming sequel to Circle will be titled Circles.

According to the outlet, the sequel is “financed and entering production later this year.”

In the 2015 movie from writers/directors Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione, “Held captive and faced with their imminent executions, fifty strangers are forced to choose the one person among them who deserves to live.” Here’s the synopsis for the upcoming sequel:

“17 years after being pawns in a cruel game of psychological warfare, the survivors of an invasion face a new threat.”

Devon Graye is writing Circles, with original star Michael Nardelli producing.

You can stream Circle on Netflix now. Watch the original trailer below.

Chris Vander Kaay wrote here on Bloody Disgusting back in 2017, “The simplicity of Circle‘s plot betrays the complexity and moral ambiguity at its center, and the film is a brilliant indictment of the ways the democratic system can be manipulated. The whole film is tense and entertaining, but the final ten minutes are a tour de force of intensity where characters are trying to murder each other without ever taking a step towards one another.
