Longlegs, the movie that’s been dubbed the “scariest of 2024” (before its release), just dropped a series of “disturbing” posters, sparking even more hype among horror fans.

The marketing campaign for Longlegs has been nothing short of genius. Matching the eerie elusiveness of Skinamarink, studio Neon first released the haunting “that’s not my daughter” teaser earlier this month, followed by one titled ‘Remember to say your prayers’, alluding to the occult.

Amid the release of the second teaser, the film in question was reported to be Longlegs, Oz Perkins’ upcoming horror starring Nicolas Cage, Maika Monroe, Alicia Witt, and Blair Underwood. The movie itself centers on a serial killer, and a case that takes a sinister turn when an FBI investigator unearths evidence of the occult.

Neon recently dropped an equally cryptic third teaser, and now “disturbing” posters for the anticipated horror flick have arrived, alongside reports that the full trailer is coming very soon – and fans can’t wait.

“Disturbing” posters for Longlegs praised by horror fans

Proving once again that Longlegs is one to watch in 2024, Neon dropped four “disturbing” posters for the movie, each with their own creepy, cryptic captions relating to a crime case.

The first shows an image of a girl in front of a snow-covered house, alongside the caption: “The birthday girl. 8 years old. Police report: January 13, 1974. So lucky to celebrate.”

Another shows a nun covered in blood with her face covered, with Neon writing: “Door to door there she goes. Where she stops nobody knows. Except for him. He knows.”

A third poster shows a woman holding a knife to her stomach, with the caption, “Mrs Camera. Mother. Father. Priest. Axe. 1975. It was a good day. For a good girl. To be at school.”

Last but definitely not least is the full image of the long legs that were shown in the first eerie teaser. The extended version shows a girl and a woman’s dead bodies, their top halves covered with a sheet. “The Horn family. Former family of 4. Mother got it worst. Father said she needed it most. No signs of forced entry. November 14, 1992,” reads the post.

Fans have been busy singing the praises of Longlegs and its terrifying marketing, with some left truly shaken by the new posters. Sharing the image of the woman with the knife to her stomach, one wrote on X: “Idk why, but out of all of the #LonglegsFilm posters that was just released, this one is by far the most disturbing one to me.”

“The most disturbing posters of all time,” said another, while a third quipped, “Chill Neon. It’s a Tuesday.” And a fourth chimed in, “The PR work with this movie is insane. The mysterious trailers are fire.”

Rumor has it that Neon will follow the pattern of the first two teasers by dropping the full Longlegs trailer this Friday (February 2) – and hopefully then the studio will offer a release date. We’ll be sure to keep you posted as and when these details arrive.
