[trailhead?] 1888 9 vacancy

[dposse]

"The advertising strategy for the film makes use of the internet as well as a toll free phone number. In addition to the TV spots and trailers shown in theaters and on television, the toll free number is made to sound as if you're actually calling the motel in which the film is placed. In the background, screaming can be heard accompanying the voice of the proprietor, who informs you about "slashing" prices and the "killer" deals that his motel has. The phone number is 1-888-9-VACANCY (8222629) It is toll free.

In addition, the phone call also refers you to the film's website, which is also set up to be the site of the actual motel. After calling, you're given a "promotional code" (8889) which can be entered at the website, which then shows you previews of the snuff films that the motel proprietor and various people create first hand."
