Want a Personalized Phone Call from Ghostface? There’s Now an Official Website for That
The Scream VI marketing campaign just keeps getting better, and this week Paramount has launched a unique website that finally allows you to get a personal phone call from Ghostface!
How does it work? It’s incredibly simple. All you need to do is navigate over to the official website, where you’ll be instructed to enter your name and your cell phone number.
Within minutes, you should receive a call from “Ghostface,” who will deliver a personalized message that begins with him addressing you by name. We’ve been able to get a few different pre-recorded messages throughout the day, with the creepiest one playing out like an actual Ghostface call in the movies. He tells you he’s watching you… and he knows you’re alone…
Of course, while you can enter your own name and number into the website, you can also use the service to prank a friend. Ghostface will call ANYONE, as long as it’s inside the US.
Want a call from Ghostface? Want to prank a friend? Have fun!
Scream VI is arriving in theaters nationwide on March 10, 2023.
In the brand new movie, “The Scream saga continues with the four survivors of the Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.”

’28 Years Later’ – Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson Join Long Awaited Sequel
Danny Boyle and Alex Garland (Annihilation, Men), the director and writer behind 2002’s hit horror film 28 Days Later, are reteaming for the long-awaited sequel, 28 Years Later. THR reports that the sequel has cast Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), and Ralph Fiennes (The Menu).
The plan is for Garland to write 28 Years Later and Boyle to direct, with Garland also planning on writing at least one more sequel to the franchise – director Nia DaCosta is currently in talks to helm the second installment.
No word on plot details as of this time, or who Comer, Taylor-Johnson, and Fiennes may play.
28 Days Later received a follow up in 2007 with 28 Weeks Later, which was executive produced by Boyle and Garland but directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Now, the pair hope to launch a new trilogy with 28 Years Later. The plan is for Garland to write all three entries, with Boyle helming the first installment.
Boyle and Garland will also produce alongside original producer Andrew Macdonald and Peter Rice, the former head of Fox Searchlight Pictures, the division of one-time studio Twentieth Century Fox that originally backed the British-made movie and its sequel.
The original film starred Cillian Murphy “as a man who wakes up from a coma after a bicycle accident to find England now a desolate, post-apocalyptic collapse, thanks to a virus that turned its victims into raging killers. The man then navigates the landscape, meeting a survivor played by Naomie Harris and a maniacal army major, played by Christopher Eccleston.”
Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) is on board as executive producer, though the actor isn’t set to appear in the film…yet.
Talks of a third installment in the franchise have been coming and going for the last several years now – at one point, it was going to be titled 28 Months Later – but it looks like this one is finally getting off the ground here in 2024 thanks to this casting news. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
