If your lifelong dream is to get a call from Ghostface, great news. A website released in conjunction with the movie Scream VI allows you to hear words of terror from the infamous horror franchise icon. The website, HelloGhostface.com, takes people to a page with an image of Ghostface and the text, "I'm dying to call you." You press a button on the website to begin and are greeted by Ghostface asking if you like scary movies. After that, you enter your first name and phone number and await the all-too-familiar voice on the other end of your cell phone. It takes a few minutes to receive the call, but once you do, a prerecorded Ghostface taunts you and gives you a jumpscare or asks you to guess where they are hiding before abruptly hanging up. The number, (917) 540-7996, is a New York number, which is appropriate since the movie takes place in New York City.
One of the most iconic parts of the Scream franchise, along with the screaming face mask, is "that" voice, created by Ghostface speaking into a voice changer. The voice asks characters in the franchise what their favorite scary movies are before taunting them and telling them that they will be the next to die, in very horrific ways, under Ghostface's knife. Scream VI has had some killer promos so far, from 3D posters to images based on classic childhood games like Guess Who? and this website is another promotional piece that is truly memorable. Would you want to receive a call from Ghostface? Well, now is your chance.
Even 27 years after the original film hit theaters, it seems like audiences still really like scary movies. Scream VI has been a tremendous success, earning $139 million at the global box office, the fifth film in the long-running franchise to hit the milestone. The film also set a franchse record at the global box office, opening with an impressive $67 million.
