Neon, the distributor of the upcoming horror film Longlegs, is going all in on enigmatic marketing for the movie. Today, the company sent out a press release that was purposefully confusing and undoubtedly holds some secret code or something for people more motivated and/or clever than me to figure out.
Below is exactly what was shared in that email. Make of it what you will!
First, they shared this poster, titled “Sweet Part One”:
Then, they shared this teaser video, titled “Sweet Part Two”:
The clip is short, full of spooky scare vibes, and has a voiceover of a woman saying she never said her prayers because she was afraid to. There’s more there, of course, including some enigmatic phrases that I’m sure Mean Something and I invite you to watch it yourself and take notes.
Lastly, the email had the following “checklist”:
What does this mean? I have no idea! It seems like it’s a list for those who want to join or be recruited into… something? What that something is I have no idea, but I bet it’s spooky af.
Here’s what I do know about Longlegs. It stars Maika Monroe (It Follows) and features Nicolas Cage in an unknown role. It comes from writer-director Osgood Perkins, who is also the person behind the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s short story, “The Monkey.”
The film will hit theaters on July 12, 2024. Hopefully (probably) we’ll get more disturbing clues before then!
