"I'm born on the 14th too"- LongLegs fans go crazy as they draw parallels between film's plot and attempted Trump assassination event

The attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday has left the nation reeling and conspiracy theorists scrambling for answers. The FBI has identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks as the alleged attacker. Trump got rushed off stage by Secret Service agents after some gunshots were fired at the rally.

He had some blood on his ear and cheek, but a spokesperson said he was okay and being examined at a nearby medical facility. Later, the ex-president mentioned he got hit by a bullet in his right ear. One person died and two others were seriously hurt in the Trump assassination attempt.

The shooter, who is believed to be dead, reportedly fired live rounds from outside the security perimeter. Authorities are looking into the incident as a potential assassination attempt.

Meanwhile, fans of the horror thriller LongLegs are going wild as they notice some similarities between the movie's story and what's been happening with Trump lately.

The film is about a serial killer who goes after people born on the 14th of the month, and now people are freaking out because Trump was born on June 14th, 1946. The parallels have not gone unnoticed by fans, who have taken to X to express their shock.

One fan scaredly wrote:

"I had to Google his birthday earlier tonight," said one user.
"I saw this too and had the same thought process," commented a fan.

The coincidence is just making people even more excited for LongLegs, with fans wondering if the movie will end up similar to what's happening in real life.

"Promo team going all out?" pondered another fan.
"Not tomorrow being the 14th lmao," exclaimed a fan.
"This is why there is simply no time to waste when new movies hit the theatres. Gotta be the first in the seats," reacted another.

The aftermath and reactions to the Trump assassination attempt

The buzz and responses to the Trump assassination attempt have been deep. Donald Trump Jr. mentioned to ABC News that he chatted with his dad, who's still in the hospital and feeling okay while they keep an eye on him. Politicians from all sides have come out against the violence and are sending their thoughts and prayers to the former president and everyone else involved in the incident.

Both Republicans and Democrats, like Representative Rob Wittman and Governor Josh Shapiro, spoke out against the violence and sent their thoughts and prayers to Trump and the victims following the attempted Trump assassination.

Shapiro stated:

"Violence targeted at any political party or political leader is absolutely unacceptable".

LongLegs and its parallels to the Trump assassination

Osgood Perkins' LongLegs has made waves in the horror community for its unique premise and atmospheric take on the genre. The film follows FBI agent Lee Harker (played by Maika Monroe) as she investigates a series of murders committed by a serial killer who targets people born on the 14th of each month.

The killer, called LongLegs, played by Nicolas Cage, likes to leave mysterious messages at the crime scenes and seems to have some kind of spooky power over his victims. Fans have been talking a lot about the trailer for the movie, with its eerie music and creepy visuals.

Since LongLegs came out around the same time as the Trump assassination attempt, fans have been chatting online about the similarities between the movie and the real-life event. Some are even speculating that the filmmakers were somehow involved in the Trump assassination plot.


As they keep looking into the Trump assassination attempt, we'll have to wait and see if they find any more connections between the film and the crime.
