About
Longlegs is a 2024 horror film directed by Oz Perkins, starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage. The movie follows a half-psychic FBI agent tasked with tracking down an occultist killer named Longlegs, only to realize that she has a personal connection to him from a forgotten past. Following the release of the film, a screengrab showing agent Lee Harker (played by Monroe) gasping as she looks out a window came to be used as an image macro meme, while mentions of birthdays on the 14th of any month also became the subject of memes referencing the movie.
Origin
A trailer for the 2024 horror film Longlegs was posted to NEON's YouTube[1] channel on May 20th, 2024, gathering over 12 million views in a month (seen below).
The movie follows a young female FBI agent tasked with investigating a Satanic killer who kills families with children born around the 14th of a month. As she continues to uncover more details, sometimes using her psychic intuition, she comes to realize that Longlegs, the killer, has a connection to her past.
In July 2024, memes using a still of Maika Monroe gasping as she looks out the window began making the rounds online. The earliest known meme featuring the image is a July 13th, 2024, post by X[2] user @FinalDude78, gathering over 12,000 likes on a post that read, "that feeling when friends or family show up at your home unannounced."
