The Ring
There’s more to the Ring star than just climbing out of TVs and wells and scaring the bejeezus out of people!
The first lady of J-horror is returning to the big screen, this time with a new digital twist in keeping with the age of social media!
There are many practical uses for the Apple ARKit, and scaring the living daylights out of your children is most certainly one of them.
The freaky feline is giving people chills with its uncanny resemblance to one of Japan’s most terrifying horror movie stars.
Having seen through the eyes of Sadako, we can now definitively say: Yes, the hair is a huge nuisance.
Face off with two of the horror world’s most terrifying characters as they make you look both shocking and beautiful at the very same time.
Mark June 18, 2016 on your calendars, because these two iconic ladies of Japanese horror are returning to the silver screen in the exact same movie.
At the entrance to Sunshine Street, overlooking one of the busiest intersections in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro shopping district, sits an innocent-looking LOTTERIA restaurant. The burger chain boasts most of your standard fast food fare: cheeseburgers, fries, desserts, and soft drinks. However, they recently hired a blood-curdling new worker at their store.
In preparation for Sadako 3D2, the sequel to last year’s horror hit based off of the cult-classic movie, Ringu (known as The Ring in the West), Sadako emerged from the TV and earned a place as honorary manager of the burger joint!
If you were terrified by the Ring series featuring Sadako, you may want to steer clear of this particular brand of toilet paper. But, you may ask, how can toilet paper be terrifying? Well, once you read about this unique toilet paper, I think you’ll agree that it’s one scary product! This toilet paper, made by tissue and toilet paper manufacturer Hayashi Paper, has printed on it a novella by Koji Suzuki, the author of the original Ring novels! And the best part? It’s now going to be available in English! Read More
With a new movie coming out, it seems that Japanese horror character Sadako from the “Ring” series is keeping herself quite busy these days. We’ve already reported to you about how she has collaborated with Hello Kitty. This time, she made a surprise appearance at a baseball game at Tokyo Dome Stadium to throw the ceremonial first pitch.
