Lin Shaye is a fixture in the horror industry.

From portraying Elise Rainier in the Insidious series to  most recently in the horror series Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, she became a favorite in the horror world. Her horror resume extended to loads of films, including Dreamkatcher, Room for Rent, Abattoir, 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams, Snakes on a Plane and even with Helen Keller vs. Nightwolves to name a few.

Thus, for The Call, it was a no-brainer. Especially, when another horror film icon Tobin Bell of Saw franchise fame was attached to the project.
