What's more The Lord of the Rings than a ring? Celebrimbor probably made this one, and the most important fact is that there's a psychic little girl involved. She's a ringbearer. Look, I don't know, we just thought this would be funny.

We had a truly excellent time enjoying the Gore Verbinski masterpiece THE RING, and we think you would too!

Check it out in the Shelved By Genre bonusode post!

I said if you did this one I'd go to the appropriate tier to hear it, and here I am! Though I actually switched a while back because of The Last Unicorn.

Heya- enjoyed the discussion. Appreciate the pod. Re: the teen lore at time of release: “What if the VHS ~does~ kill you?” Yes- that was the rumor in my high school too lol. It added some fun extra dimensionality to my experience with The Ring. About one week after seeing it I woke up in the middle of the night to the TV in my room on. No cable hookup, so it was static. Only had it set up for consoles. I didn’t have it on before I went to sleep and the remote wasn’t near me. The way I ran out of the room!! Months later it happened again when I was awake! Having not died lol I searched the net “TV random turn on” or something like that. Through which I learned that model TV has a timer and it somehow set to 3am. Nothing supernatural. Just, random. The way I ran out of that room the first time it turned on!! The Ring was the first ‘scary movie’ I saw in theaters, and it’s among the reasons why I thought I didn’t like scary movies for years (preferring cheesy horror themed things instead.) I was only a sophomore in high school. The only other scary movie I’d seen before it was Event Horizon. Perhaps I went too hard too fast there. Final thought- the VHS itself? Tucks neatly with surrealist film. Brought to mind Un Chien Andalou and L’Âge d’Or (1929) and more . Even with that grounding from a contemporaneous-to-the-theater-viewing recent trip to the museum it makes the VHS creepy af! Especially with the connections weaved into the rest of the film. The Ring tape is still unsettling all this time later. And I can’t think of those films without also thinking of The Ring. *shivers* …tho- to be warded off, in a way, from Dali is fine by me!
