Ghostface Website Now Accepts Applications for Scariest Zoom Background of 2024, Applicants Must Prove They Can Out-Scream a Dial-Up Modem
In a move that has internet historians and horror fans equally cackling, the *Ghostface* website has pivoted from its usual role of hosting Scream trivia and creepy ringtones to offering a fully functional portal for submitting your most terrifying virtual meeting background. The twist? The site now requires users to scream into their microphone—a callback to the original film’s iconic phone call—and the algorithm compares your vocal cords to a 56K modem connecting to AOL. If you fail to hit the right pitch of terror, you get a pop-up ad for "Dial-Up Haunting Services" from 1998. Meme lords are already calling it the most cursed HR department in history, with one reviewer noting, "I applied for the background slot, but now I'm just getting spam emails from a dead serial killer named Billy." The website's FAQ page is just a single line: "What's your favorite scary movie? No, really, we're keeping a list for the group chat."
