I know that the tape is different in The Ring 2 (US), and if it exists in the other versions not covered (and is most likely different), can anyone make a description of those to add to the Tape Images section? EgyptianSushi 22:24, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I dont think the tape has changed between the two films. -- Psi edit 20:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I do. EgyptianSushi 23:29, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

He was referring to the promo cursed videotape that DreamWorks released prior to Rings and The Ring twO, and that the whole Rings Communities was mostly centered about. It was also available on-line on http://www.the-tape.com . Now you can get it here: http://www.obrasilero.com/ring/thetape.zip . It appeared in The Ring twO in reduced form as the images that Samara, through Aidan, showed to Rachel. And I would personally wait for The Ring 3 to be released, before trying to explain those scenes, since most of them haven't been explained yet. -- OBrasilo 00:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Where Can I Download the Sadako and Samara cursed videos

I tried downloading them at inteferon's viral vestibule (http://www.neodymsystems.com/ring/movies.shtml) but the link is broken. Where can I download them? P2P networks caused spywares and viruses to invade my computer, so I don't use them anymore. So where can I download them?

And if your don't have the XviD codec installed, but still want to see the full 4:3 uncropped version of the Ring (1998) cursed video, the .WMV version is here: http://www.obrasilero.com/ring/noroi.avi . -- OBrasilo 00:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Related Curses

There are other curses too, like the Cursed SWF File and even the Cursed Wiki Article. This article should mention these and other parodies.

[edit] Pictures

Maybe we could put a few pictures in, for informational purposes? Not the freaky ones, but some of the more tame-ish ones. 60.224.253.85 02:36, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Luis Bunuel

It says the tape of the American-Version of the movie is similar to Un chien andalou "by the French surrealist film-maker Luis Bunuel". At first, I deny that this is truth (the "Ring-tape" uses a handful or so of elements that are strongly connected to real places, persons and actions that took place in the pre-plot of the movie, while Un chien andalou is willingly unconnected to anything, just "floating images"). And, more important, Bunuel was from Spain, not France. He only emigrated to France throughout the Civil War in Spain.

Actually, the Ring (1998) cursed video has some scenes, which are quite close to Un Chien Andalou, especially the shamblers scene is like that. -- OBrasilo 00:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
