Bust out your phone and get ready to dial. We stumbled across a pretty amazing viral marketing campaign (in the “Village Voice”) for Dark Sky Films’ The House of the Devil, Ti West’s 80’s period piece arriving on DVD/Blu-ray February 2. While not as cool as the VHS copy of the film we were sent, the company has begun taking out personal ads that read “BABY $ITTER NEEDED.” Read on to check it out and for a number to apply. My only advice, don’t bring a friend – more importantly don’t let her leave you alone.
“Set in the 1980s and based on true, unexplained events, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL stars the sexy Jocelin Donahue as cash-strapped college student Samantha Hughes, who takes a babysitting job in a remote mansion with her good friend Megan (Greta Gerwig, BAGHEAD). She’s desperate for money and the pay is good, but something feels wrong, and Samantha quickly realizes that the girls are trapped. As a lunar eclipse darkens the night sky, Samantha finds that her employers–cult favorites Tom Noonan (MANHUNTER) and Mary Woronov (ROCK AND ROLL HIGH SCHOOL)–don’t have a baby at all, and have something truly terrifying in store for them.”
