What's up, HorrorFam? In this video, we're going to take a look at the latest offering from both Neon and Osgood Perkins: Longlegs. This film stars Maika Monroe as FBI Agent Lee Harker, and the modern day genius; Nicolas Cage as Longlegs himself.

We'll be taking a look at numerous happenings on the set of the film, as well as diving deep into some behind the scenes information. For instance, did you know that Oz Perkins told production company, Neon, he didn't want Nicolas Cage to appear in any promotional material for the film? So, they had to work overtime to figure out a way to promote the movie without utilizing the Hollywood icon's built-in popularity.

Also, in perhaps one of the most shocking facts about Longlegs is that actress Maika Monroe had a resting heart rate of 76bpm before filming the interrogation scene with Longlegs, but after she sat down across from the man, her heart rate spiked at a rapid 170bpm.

How about the fact that test audiences for Longlegs told Oz Perkins that he should cut Nicolas Cage from the film, because his performance as Longlegs is just way too scary, and they felt like when the film would be released to the public that there would be some serious repercussions.

We'll also get into the editing, hidden messages in Longlegs, and even the phone number you could call, where you could hear a message from Longlegs himself, as he talked to the birthday girl.

This, and so much more is contained within this video, so let's get started on 10 things you didn't know about Longlegs.
