"I made the mistake of watching The Ring by myself in my hotel room. The worst part was that the TV in the room looked almost identical to the one in the movie. I did not sleep well that night."

"This was always one of the scariest for me, too.

My girlfriend and I saw the US one in the theater and immediately afterward rented the Japanese original and watched it that same night.

The thing that always got me about those was, unlike most ghost movies, where the ghost is anchored to some locale, the Ju-on ghosts attach to YOU and can appear anywhere you go.

I've legitimately had nightmares about that little kid reaching out to grab my hand and awoken with a start to find my hand dangling off the edge of the bed, hovering over complete darkness."

"No, for real though. I watched it at a friend's house in high school, and then I had to drive home alone, at night, down about fifteen minutes' worth of country backroads. I was so freaked out by the time I got home, I had to tell myself a story in my head about Buffy the Vampire Slayer killing the Creeper just so I could get to sleep, lmao. Fanfic to the rescue!"
