‘The Ring’ Spoofed With Modern Technology Is Spot-on
Geek Outside perfectly spoofed Gore Verbinski’s The Ring, which updates the technology and takes a jab at our addiction to screens in less than a minute.
The Ring, the 2002 remake of the 1999 J-horror Ringu, is about a VHS tape infected with the spirit of Samara. When viewed, the person has seven days to pass the infection on…or they’ll meet their demise.
The joke here is that with Vine, the viewer now has seven seconds.
I find this quite clever, funny and the perfect length for my short attention span. Talk about timing, too, with Rings set to hit theaters later this year.
Interviews
‘Chucky’ – Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent Reunite to Talk the Past and Tease the Future [Video]
Who doesn’t love a good ol’ family reunion?
At Creep I.E. Con Aftermath, horror icons Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent sat down with Bloody Disgusting’s Shelby Novak (of Scare You to Sleep) and Michael Roffman (of Halloweenies) to discuss the past, present, and definitive future of the Chucky franchise.
Now, you can watch the full panel below.
The three share hilarious personal anecdotes about what it’s been like growing up together with Chucky in their lives. They also digress on the elasticity of the series and why they’re game for anything Don Mancini throws their way. Speaking of which, there is also a tease of what’s to come.
The video was directed and edited by Matt Sampere with Diandra Lazor.
