Nicolas Cage<\/strong><\/a> continues to provide nightmare fuel for the promotion of his new horror film, Longlegs<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, July 24, the movie\u2019s official Instagram page<\/a> shared audio of Cage, 60, singing a song as the titular killer, known also by his real name, Dale Kobble.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Downstairs at your door,\u201d Cage croons, using Longlegs\u2019 affectionate nickname for Satan.<\/p>\n

The caption described the eerie tune, which is called \u201cFire Fire Fire, Hiss\u201d as \u201cthe last known musical recording by Dale Ferdinand Kobble before the voices took over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNeon Horror fans have been endlessly teased about Nicolas Cage\u2018s shocking transformation for Longlegs \u2014 but there have only been a few glimpses of the terrifying villain. Longlegs, which is directed by Oz Perkins, follows FBI agent Lee (Maika Monroe), who is assigned to investigate an unsolved serial killer case. She begins to uncover occult [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The demonic rock song, which was shared alongside a video of a doll\u2019s reflection in a mirror, features fuzzy bass, howling vocals and nonsensical lyrics.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike a cannonball, like a volleyball, nice, nice,\u201d Cage sings.<\/p>\n

Cage plays a murderous devil-worshiper in Longlegs<\/em>, which hit theaters on July 12, and his sinister character was inspired, in part, by his mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor some reason, when I read the script, I heard my mother\u2019s voice. And then I met with director Oz Perkins<\/strong>. And the first thing he said to me was, \u2018Nic, this is a movie about my mother,\u2019\u201d he told The New Yorker<\/em><\/a> earlier this month. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018Well, that\u2019s very interesting, Oz, because I was just thinking that I want to make this character about my mom.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tDaniele Venturelli\/WireImage Nicolas Cage is the doting dad of three children. Cage became a father for the first time in December 1990 when the actor welcomed son Weston with ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton. After Weston\u2019s birth, Cage and Fulton were no longer romantically involved. Cage moved on with Patricia Arquette whom he was married to from [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cage went on to explain how his mom\u2019s \u201cscary\u201d vocalizations helped him develop Longlegs\u2019 voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe would talk, like, \u2018Ooh, Nicky, you looked just like a little bird when you were born.\u2019 And that was just scary,\u201d he explained. \u201cI think my mom did as well as she could with the situation in which she was contending with, but it was still scary. So I thought, \u2018OK, I want to make this character as a sort of homage to my mother.\u2019 Not that she was satanic, but her vocalizations, the way she would move.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cage underwent quite a transformation for the role with facial prosthetics, thick pale makeup and a wig. To build suspense, Longlegs\u2019 face was not revealed in the trailer or any other promotional materials for the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s driving people towards a freak show at a circus tent,\u201d Perkins, 50, said of deciding to preserve the mystery. \u201cWe\u2019ve got the thing behind the curtain, and when there\u2019s enough people gathered \u2018round, we\u2019re going to pull the curtain.\u201d<\/p>\n
