Based on Finn's short film Laura Hasn't Slept (2020), the film stars Sosie Bacon as a therapist who witnesses the bizarre suicide of a patient, then goes through increasingly disturbing and daunting experiences that lead her to believe she is experiencing something supernatural. It also features Jessie T. Usher, Kyle Gallner, Kal Penn, and Rob Morgan, as well as Caitlin Stasey reprising her role from Laura Hasn't Slept. A feature adaptation of Finn's short was announced in June 2020, and the cast was added in October 2021. Principal photography began that month in New Jersey and ended in November. Originally set for release on the streaming service Paramount+, distributor Paramount Pictures opted to release the film theatrically after positive test screenings. Smile premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 22, 2022, and was released in the United States on September 30. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed over $217 million worldwide on a budget of $17 million. A sequel, Smile 2, is scheduled to be released in October 2024. The Ring is a 2002 American supernatural horror film directed by Gore Verbinski and written by Ehren Kruger. Starring Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, David Dorfman, and Brian Cox, the film focuses on Rachel Keller (Watts), a journalist who discovers a cursed videotape that causes its viewers to die seven days later. It is a remake of Hideo Nakata's 1998 film Ring, based on the 1991 novel by Koji Suzuki. The Ring was theatrically released in the United States on October 18, 2002, by DreamWorks Pictures. It was a box-office success, grossing $249.3 million worldwide on a $48 million budget, making it one of the highest-grossing horror remakes of all time. The Ring received mixed-to-positive reviews, with critics in particular praising the atmosphere and visuals, Bojan Bazelli's cinematography, Verbinski's direction and the performances of the cast (particularly Watts). At the 29th Saturn Awards, the film won in two categories: Best Horror Film and Best Actress (for Watts). The film is the first installment of the American Ring series, and is followed by The Ring Two (2005) and Rings (2017). The success of The Ring inspired American remakes of several other Asian and Japanese horror films, including The Grudge (2004) and Dark Water (2005). Plot Teenage girls Katie and Becca discuss an urban legend about a cursed videotape that causes whoever views it to die in one week. That night, Katie, who viewed it one week ago, is killed by an unseen force. At Katie's funeral, her mother asks her sister Rachel, a Seattle-based journalist, to investigate her daughter's death. Rachel discovers that Katie's friends all died in bizarre accidents at the same time as Katie's death. Rachel visits the Shelter Mountain Inn, where Katie and her friends saw the tape. She finds and views the tape; it contains strange and frightening imagery. She then receives a phone call from an unknown caller who whispers, "Seven days". Though initially skeptical, Rachel quickly begins to experience supernatural occurrences linked to the tape.

"O que há com os repórteres? Você pega a tragédia de uma pessoa e força o mundo a vivenciá-la, espalhando-a como uma doença." O Chamado (2002) é um filme de terror cuja história gira em torno de uma misteriosa fita de vídeo amaldiçoada que causa a morte de qualquer pessoa que a assiste exatamente sete dias depois. O roteiro de O Chamado (2002) foi escrito por Ehren Kruger, que adaptou com sucesso a história do romance homônimo de Koji Suzuki. O roteiro de Kruger traduziu com eficácia os elementos centrais do conto de terror japonês para um cenário americano, ao mesmo tempo que incorporou algumas mudanças para que ficasse mais natural no cenário dos Estados Unidos. A adaptação também bebe bastante do filme Ringu (1998), dirigido por Hideo Nakata e escrito por Hiroshi Takahashi, que é uma obra-prima do terror japonês. A direção de Gore Verbinski em O Chamado (2002) dá vida ao roteiro de Kruger de uma forma visualmente deslumbrante. Verbinski, conhecido por seu trabalho em Piratas do Caribe e outros sucessos de bilheteria de grande orçamento, emprega uma série de técnicas para criar um ambiente assombroso, utilizando uma paleta de cores frias que dão sensação de que estamos o tempo todo cercados por uma humidade sinistra a todo momento. Nesse episódio, Fabio Rangel (@fabiomrangel), Rodrigo Carvalho (@_RodCarvalho) e Daniel Cavalcanti (@dani_aoc9) discutem sobre o filme, incluindo alguns pontos: - A qualidade dessa Adaptação; - Principais Referências e como Sexto Sentido define um caminho para o filme; - Os signos do filme e a televisão; - Interpretações; --- Siga nossas redes sociais e expanda essa conversa! email: contato@acaboudeacabar.com.br Twitter: @enquadrando_ Instagram: @enquadrando_oficial Youtube: youtube.com/Enquadrando TikTok: @enquadrando_oficial --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/enquadrando/message
What is this; a crossover episode?! The creatures were stoked to join their new favorite podcast The Infinite Library (John and Ben) to talk about Koji Suzuki's novel Ring and Hideo Nakata's subsequent horror movie classic of the same name. The creatures and librarians go deep down the well to discuss the themes and legacy of this enormous franchise just in time for Halloween. cw: SA Check out The Infinite Library! https://open.spotify.com/show/3K8XLcPeaAnYbs8NzBXmXI
John and Ben knew that Halloween can be a dangerous time in the Infinite Library, what with all the ghosts and goblins around, so they knew they were going to need a bit of extra support for this very spooky episode. Luckily, Dylan and Robb from Hot for Creature were sucked into the Library when Robb's Blu-Ray collection officially got "out of hand" so the Frightening Foursome was able to sit down and talk about Koji Suzuki's classic horror novel "Ring" as well as the famous 1998 film adaptation directed by Hideo Nakata. That's right folks, it's a crossover episode.

She then receives a phone call from an unknown caller who whispers, "seven days". Though initially skeptical, Rachel quickly begins to experience supernatural occurrences linked with the tape. Rachel recruits the help of her video analyst ex-boyfriend Noah. He watches the tape and Rachel makes him a copy. She identifies a woman on the tape: horse breeder Anna Morgan, who killed herself after some of her horses drowned themselves off Moesko Island. Rachel and Noah's young son Aidan ends up watching the tape. Aidan also possesses some supernatural abilities, which he uses to help with Rachel's investigation. Rachel heads for Moesko Island to speak to Anna's widower Richard, while Noah travels to Eola Psychiatric Hospital to view Anna's medical files. Rachel discovers that Anna had adopted a girl, Samara, who possessed the ability to psychically etch images onto objects and into people's minds, tormenting her parents and their horses. Noah finds a psychiatric file on Samara that mentions a missing video record last seen by Richard. Returning to the Morgan home, Rachel finds a birth certificate proving that Samara is the biological child of Richard and Anna. She also finds the missing video, in which Samara explains her powers during a therapy session. Richard insists that Samara is evil and commits suicide by electrocuting himself. Noah and Rachel find a loft in the barn, which the Morgans used to isolate Samara from themselves and the outside world. There is an image of a tree behind the wallpaper; Rachel recognizes it as a tree at the Shelter Mountain Inn.
We're kicking off October with a horror classic of the early 2000's, The Ring, directed by Gore Verbinski and based on the novel by Koji Suzuki. This film adaptation (although not the first) brings chills and scares aplenty, while the novel managed to horrify us in ways we weren't expecting. This episode we delve into antiquated technology, questionable friendships and Smallpox?
Based on Koji Suzuki's 1991 novel and loosely remade from Hideo Nakata's 1998 film adaptation, the 2002 Hollywood take on The Ring was a sleeper hit that shrewdly played off a number of prevalent trends found at the turn of the millennium (it lifted its color palette from The Matrix, it featured a precocious child character like the one found in The Sixth Sense, and it engaged in a guerilla marketing campaign like The Blair Witch Project). The Ring also set off a few trends of its own; among other things, a whole bunch of American remakes of Japanese horror movies were produced in its wake. Ryan is joined by Sylvan for a chat about this popular and well-remembered horror movie. Discussion topics center upon the cultural ubiquity of ghost stories, how The Ring crafts inversions of collective hopes about the afterlife, the reasons for the surprisingly long cultural reach of the movie's score, and the story's subtext when it comes to free speech and journalism. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-valentine3/support
Wir sind es gewöhnt, uns vor dem Fernseher sicher zu fühlen - denn das, was hinter dem Bildschirm passiert, ist weit weg von unserem echten Leben. Was aber geschieht, wenn Werke bewusst die unsichtbare Wand zwischen Handlung und Publikum durchbrechen, und Realität und Fiktion sich vermischen? Das Übertreten der Fourth Wall oder vierten Wand im Horror ist das Thema dieser Folge. Kim hat das Videospiel “Batman: Arkham Asylum” (2009) dabei, in dem Batman sich durch eine psychiatrische Anstalt schlagen muss. Er sinniert über einen Moment im Spiel, der die vierte Wand auf kreative Art und Weise durchbricht und damit Videospielgeschichte geschrieben hat. Denise wiederum widmet sich dem Horrorfilm “The Ring” (2002) und dem Fluch um Samara Morgan. Nicht nur werden die Charaktere im Film mit einem - ähm, nassen?- Durchbruch der Fourth Wall konfrontiert - er zwingt auch das Publikum in eine unangenehme Position… Achtung!- Es gelten Triggerwarnungen für das Spiel “Batman: Arkham Asylum”, vor allem bezüglich der problematischen Darstellung von psychischen Erkrankungen bzw. Erkrankten sowie der se*istischen Darstellung von Frauen. - Diese Folge enthält wesentliche Spoiler zum 2002 erschienenen Film “The Ring”.Shownotes: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hsn1iyohuvdmkurury4jl/30-Fourth-Wall-Shownotes.docx?rlkey=0kp2wvqepsxlzxyzst6j0hb6r&dl=0

DARK WATER, KOJI SUZUKI (Hamamatsu, 1957) es el escritor de terror y ciencia ficción más célebre y aclamado de Japón. Tras graduarse en la universidad de Keio, desempeñó diversos trabajos —entre ellos el de profesor— antes de dedicarse por completo a la escritura. En 1990 fue galardonado con el premio de Novela Fantástica de Japón por Rakuen y, al año siguiente, alcanzó el éxito comercial con The Ring , novela que abre su trilogía Ringu y que fue llevada al cine por Hideo Nakata en 1998, convirtiéndose en la película más taquillera del año, desatando el aplauso unánime de la crítica y catapultando a Suzuki a la fama mundial. En 1996 vio la luz la colección de relatos de horror Dark Water , de la cual he seleccionado el relato que esta noche os voy a leer y que también serviría de inspiración para la aclamada película del mismo nombre de Hideo Nakata en 2002. Sin bajarse del carro del éxito, Suzuki ha continuado explorando la oscura senda del horror psicológico y los sinuosos caminos de la ciencia ficción apocalíptica en obras como Kamigami no promenade (2003) o Edge (2008). En su último trabajo, Jukai (2015), Suzuki se adentra en los misterios que se ocultan entre los árboles del bosque de Aokigahara, el Bosque de los Suicidas. Pese al empeño en colgarle el sambenito de «Stephen King nipón» , el autor de Dark Water , admirador de Camus, Hemingway, Sartre, Scott Fitzgerald, Osamu Dazai o Salinger, experto en educación infantil y padre entregado (de ahí quizá su obsesión con los niños como víctimas indefensas de un mundo implacable) no se preocupa tanto de asustar como de «… transmitir un sentimiento de coraje, un sentimiento de energía (…). su obra no es en definitiva simplemente horror. Lo que realmente le gusta escribir son historias situadas en el océano, de hombres que desafían (las circunstancias) y se superan a sí mismos. Historias de supervivencia de personas atrapadas en situaciones de dificultad extrema, pero que aun así se esfuerzan por prevalecer». Elemento imprescindible para la vida, el agua se transforma en heraldo de la muerte y en germen del terror primigenio. Las historias de Koji Suzuki navegan en el océano del horror, la angustia y el pánico. La alucinación y los fantasmas imaginarios producto del pánico, el miedo o la obsesión, bastan para conseguir la atmósfera de pavor, amenaza y peligro que acompaña siempre los relatos de Suzuki. Entretanto, deseo que disfruten de su húmedo paseo en este barco de palabras que se desliza sinuoso sobre aguas muy, muy oscuras. En cualquier caso, es siempre mejor atreverse a navegar por ellas… que esperar a que vengan a por ti.

Book: Ringu By Koji Suzuki Film: Ring (1998) A Japanese mystery horror novel by Koji Suzuki first published in 1991, and set in modern-day Japan. The novel was the first in the Ring novel series, and the first of a trilogy, along with two sequels: Spiral (1995) and Loop (1998). The original Ring novel sold 500,000 copies by January 1998, and 1.5 million copies by July 2000.[1] Ring was the basis for the Ring franchise, including a 1995 television film (Ring: Kanzenban), a 1998 theatrical film of the same name (Ring), a television series (Ring: The Final Chapter), and two international film remakes of the 1998 film: a South Korean version (The Ring Virus) and an English-language version (The Ring). This Japanese horror film directed by Hideo Nakata and based on the 1991 novel by Koji Suzuki stars stars Nanako Matsushima, Miki Nakatani and Hiroyuki Sanada, and follows a reporter who is racing to investigate the mystery behind a cursed videotape that kills the viewer seven days after watching it. It is titled The Ring (stylized as the Ring) in English in Japan and released as Ringu in North America. Production took approximately nine months. Ring and its sequel Spiral were released in Japan at the same time. After its release, Ring was a huge box office success in Japan and was acclaimed by critics. It inspired numerous follow-ups in the Ring franchise, popularized J-horror internationally, and triggered a trend of Western remakes, starting with the 2002 American film The Ring.

You can find EM Hilker's full article that this podcast was based upon HERE and a transcript of the podcast version below: PODCAST TRANSCRIPT It was early February of 2013 when some of the residents of the Stay on Main (formerly the Cecil Hotel) began to have problems with their tap water. The water pressure was inconsistent, and the water itself tasted peculiar and was oddly discoloured. In response to the residents' complaints, the hotel sent employee Santiago Lopez to investigate the issue. His investigation took him to the water towers on the roof of the hotel where, upon examination, he found the decomposing body of a solitary young woman, naked, floating in the cistern, her clothing and some personal effects in the water alongside her. No one recognized by authorities knows precisely how Elisa Lam died. The known facts are that Elisa arrived in Los Angeles on January 26th 2013 and checked into the Stay on Main on January 28th. She was reported missing on February 1st, 2013, after she had fallen out of contact with her family; some time prior to that she displayed seemingly erratic behavior in the hotel elevator, which was caught on tape and has been much-analyzed by professionals and amateur sleuths alike. Her body and clothing were found in one of the rooftop water cisterns, which, in theory, should have been inaccessible by the hotel guests. For a period of time, the guests consumed the water that contained her body, which had been discoloured and had an unwholesome taste. Her clothes were in the cistern as well, covered with what appeared to be sand. It was noted that her cell phone and glasses were missing. Autopsy revealed that she had been dead for several days at a minimum, that there was water in neither her lungs nor her stomach, and that aside from a small abrasion on her knee that she could have gotten anywhere, she had no obvious external trauma that wasn't accounted for by decomposition. Among the things that are unknown: how did Elisa get in that cistern, which was said to have been difficult to access? How did she get onto the roof, for that matter, where the cisterns are located, past the secured door? What was Elisa up to in that elevator? Was she alone? Before we delve into the details of this strange case, and the plentiful theories of what precisely happened, there is Elisa herself. She was a young woman, only 21 years old at the time of her death, and at the beginning of her adult life. She had struggled with mental illness for many years, but despite her struggles she was kind, empathetic, dedicated, and passionate. She liked fashion, art, and literature, and found a great deal of solace on her blogs “Nouvelle/Nouveau” and “Ether Fields.” She was close to her parents, with whom she connected each day as she traveled. She called her trip “the West Coast Tour.” She had been very excited about it. I think it's important to remember who Elisa was. That she was a real, warm, living person with hopes and goals and dreams and struggles. It's easy to forget Elisa herself in the twisting paths of this case, in all the weirdness of the circumstances and the copious amount of theories on what really happened to her. Elisa wasn't just a part of a mystery to be solved: she was a vibrant young woman, taken too soon from a life that she had only just begun. LAM-ELISA TB Test The circumstances surrounding Elisa's death, and her stay in Los Angeles in general, were strange, but little was as strange on the surface as the colossal coincidence of the LAM-ELISA tuberculosis test. The name LAM-ELISA seems like an improbable coincidence. The test was developed at the University of British Columbia, oddly enough, the university Elisa had attended more than four years before her last, fateful trip. LAM-ELISA is named for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or ELISA, an enzyme used to detect lipoarabinomannan (Lie-poe-a-rab-in-o-min-in) (LAM) in samples of human sputum, in order to diagnose tuberculosis in the patient. There was, additionally, an outbreak of TB in the Skid Row section of Los Angeles at the time of Elisa's disappearance. Some conspiracy theories have cropped up around these coincidences, though none really fit the facts. The naming convention of the test is clear and logical, the test itself predates Elisa's stay in LA by literal years, and there was no sign of TB in Elisa's autopsy findings. Dark Water Another strange coincidence comes in the form of two movies called ‘Dark Water' (a Japanese movie from 2002, and the American remake from 2005) as well as the short story by Koji Suzuki on which the two movies were based. As in Elisa's case, there were water supply issues caused by the body of a young girl in the building's water tower. Interestingly as well, the American remake names the lead character, Dahlia, which just so happens to be the press' nickname for murder victim Elizabeth Short. The Elizabeth Short who was allegedly drinking at the then-Cecil hotel's bar shortly before her murder. “The Suicide” The Stay on Main, formerly the Cecil Hotel but re-named in 2011, has a dark and violent history. There have been at least sixteen deaths (that we know of) at the Cecil hotel since the first recorded suicide in November 1931 (a selection of which include: self-poisoning, infanticide, and strangulation). Jake Anderson, author of, Gone At Midnight, the book on the case, believes the number to be higher. Because of its reputation as a place frequented by death, it was popularly called “The Suicide.” In addition to the selection of murders and suicides in the hotel itself, it was also known for having housed both Richard “The Night Stalker” Ramirez during the period of his murder spree in the 1980s and Austrian serial killer Johann “Jack” Unterweger in the 1990s. Also, as previously mentioned, there is the fact that Elizabeth Short, “The Black Dahlia”, may or may not have had a drink at the Cecil in the last few days of her life. Inaccessible roof and sealed water tower? The roof should have been, many have said, inaccessible. The set of stairs leading to the roof from the fourteenth floor had a security alarm, which was not triggered the night of Elisa's disappearance. Indeed, Santiago Lopez had to disarm it before finding Elisa's body on the roof. There were, however, fire escapes that could be climbed to access the roof. Jake Anderson points out that there was graffiti on the roof, as well as reports of drinking up there; someone was accessing it. The cisterns have been said to be sealed in some sources, but elsewhere simply awkward and heavy. Somebody — Elisa or otherwise — got it open, after all. And then, perhaps most disturbing The Elevator Footage The footage of Elisa playing in an elevator on what was most likely the last day of her life, which the LAPD released to the public on February 15, has gotten a lot of attention online. The footage, as released, is certainly disquieting to watch, if only because of what would happen to her later that night. This footage has originated a number of the theories that we will discuss later. All is not as it seems on the surface, however. Often noted is that the elevator doors take an unusually long time to close in the video, though upon examination Kay Theng found that the doors to the elevator only close upon pressing the “close door” button or upon someone summoning the elevator from another floor. This may have been unusual behavior for elevators in general, but it was not unusual behavior for this particular elevator. Body language expert Dr. Jack Brown believes her body language to be playful rather than afraid, and speculates that there may be another person outside the elevator she's playing with. However strange the circumstances surrounding her trip may be, the question remains, how did Elisa wind up in that water tower? The Paranormal Theory Well before Elisa's death, the hotel was thought to be haunted. The Ghost Adventures team has recorded a two-hour special in the former Cecil, noting that “it's undeniable that there are spirits inside this building.” Renowned psychic Joni Mayhan was asked to analyze the case for Anderson, and concluded that Elisa had been murdered, her murderer having been influenced by a malevolent force. The Elevator Game The elevator game, which is said to have originated in Korea, has a very simple premise: you enter an elevator in a building that has a minimum of ten stories, alone, and after entering the elevator on the ground floor, press the buttons in sequence, each after traveling to the last buttons' floor, without exiting the elevator. The order is 4, 2, 6, 2, 10, 5, 1. Certain things are said to happen along the way – a woman may enter the elevator at the fifth floor, to whom you must neither speak nor look at. It's not clear what happens to you if you do. In theory, if you've done all this correctly, when you press “one” to return to the ground floor, the elevator should instead ascend to the tenth floor, where you will find another world. You can either leave the elevator and explore this new world, an empty, dark world with a burning crucifix in the distance, or reverse the sequence of floors that you pressed to get here. The dark world is said to be hard to find your way back from (you need to use the same elevator that you used to get there). And, internet speculation has it, that Elisa Lam was playing that game in the elevator footage. I have a few problems with this theory: first, and perhaps most importantly: “Elisa had given virtually no attention to the paranormal. In all of her hundreds of pages of writings, not once did she ever reference ghosts, or hauntings, or possessions, or anything in the esoteric paranormal realm,” as Jake Anderson observes. There's no reason to believe that she would have played a relatively obscure game to go to another dimension, when she doesn't seem to have done so much as watched an episode of Ghost Hunters. Secondly, the infamous elevator footage took place on the fourteenth floor. The fourteenth floor isn't part of the elevator game, and the rules are very clear that you must begin on the ground floor. Thirdly, she's shown pressing what appears to be random buttons hurriedly, rather than traveling to each floor before pressing the next button in the sequence, and she doesn't appear to be pressing them in the order of the game. Finally, she leaves the elevator, which you're not to do until you reach the tenth floor. The Mental Health Aspect Elisa Lam was diagnosed and medicated for bipolar disorder, which she seems to have struggled with for most of her life and wrote about at length online. She had been taking medications to treat the disorder, but the toxicology results from her autopsy suggest that she hadn't been taking all of her medications at the time of her death. She appears to have been taking one of her antidepressants (Venlafaxine, ven·luh·fak·seen) regularly, but her other antidepressant (bupropion,byoo·prow·pee·aan) was in small enough amounts to indicate that it had been taken recently but certainly not that day. This was true of her mood stabilizing drug Lamotrigine (luh·mow·truh·jeen) as well. The antipsychotic she had been prescribed, quetiapine (kwuh·tai·uh·peen), was entirely absent from her system. The autopsy report isn't the only reason to believe that something was amiss, however; Elisa had originally checked into her hotel room with two other women. Several days into Elisa's stay, the roommates complained to management that Elisa was acting in ways that made them uncomfortable, and Elisa was moved to her own room. Anderson had discovered one of the last people to see her alive, a man named Tosh Berman, who had encountered her in a bookstore. He described her behavior as erratic and unbalanced, and noted that he had been worried for her safety, not because of any immediate threat but simply because she was so unstable, and seemed so vulnerable. Skinny Dipping One theory on how Elisa wound up in that water tower is that she got in voluntarily. That perhaps in her manic state, she chose to go skinny dipping, alone, in a water reservoir on the roof of a 19 storey hotel that is — in theory, at least — hard to access, sometime in February. The average daytime temperature in Los Angeles in February is 21 degrees celsius, or 69.8 degrees fahrenheit. That is, of course, assuming she had stolen away to do this during the day, when it's warmest but also presumably the easiest time to get caught). The interior of the water reservoir was completely smooth, lacking entirely in any way for her to climb back out. The theory is that she realized this too late, and the poor woman was left to tread water, hopelessly, knowing that no one knew she was there, knowing that rescue would never come, until she died. The Murder/Manslaughter Hypothesis A very common theory is that Elisa was murdered, and that perhaps she was dead before her body entered the cistern. Dr. John Hiserolt believes that she may have been suffocated, and her body thrown in the water tower. He acknowledges the possibility of laryngospasm , sometimes called “dry drowning,” but finds it unusual that there was also no water in her stomach. Many have pointed out that a hotel employee could have accompanied her to the roof without setting off the alarm, and many others have pointed out that there were several registered sex offenders in the hotel at the time of Elisa's death. Jake Anderson himself suspects perhaps a date rape that became a murder. Mystery author JH Moncrieff agrees, writing at one point that “Personally, I think she was murdered, and not by a ghost, either.” Ultimately, we may never know what happened to Elisa. But there's one more theory I'd like to share with you, which may be no more true than the others, but which accounts for at least most of the facts: It's possible that Elisa may have indeed gone skinny dipping in the water tower, perhaps in a manic state, with whoever she was playing with in the elevator footage. This person may also have helped her open the lid to the cistern. She took off her clothes, her watch, and her hotel key card, placing them in a pile on the floor of the roof, picking up the particulate matter that was found on them, and jumped in the water first. Quickly realizing that there was no way to get back out, her companion perhaps panicked (if this hadn't been the plan all along), and rather than getting help, threw her clothing and personal effects in after her, and left her to die. It's hard to hope for an answer to the mystery of Elisa Lam's death. At the time of this recording, it has been eight years. There is hope, however: recently, Netflix has released a documentary, and Jake Anderson has drummed up new interest with Gone At Midnight. With luck, this new spotlight on the case will lead to fresh information on Elisa, her last days, and perhaps finally an answer to the circumstances surrounding her tragic loss.

In 2002, Gore Verbinski made one of the prettiest remakes ever with the supernatural horror film The Ring. Originally a Japanese film based on a trilogy of novels by Koji Suzuki, The Ring featured legend Bryan Cox and Naomi Watts who was fresh off her first notable film, Mulholland Drive, solidifying her as a leading lady with some box office pull. In The Ring, journalist Rachel investigates the death of her niece and hears about a videotape that causes the death of anyone who watches it 7 days later. Harnessing the power of telemarketers, the videotape knows the phone number wherever you area and confirms your 7-day schedule, which is filled with visions, dreams, bloody noses, flies in/on television screens, and eventually, stretch face. This movie has two creepy kids and was made for a budget of $48M, and walked out with nearly $250M in the box office, and received some positive reviews along with plans for some shitty sequels. But does it hold up? Listen as Jon, Colin and Brent watch the tape and then decide on whether they will try to save their own lives so they can praise this scary movie, or if they start counting the days to welcome a wet stretchy death from a creepy well girl.

UNEXPLAINED MYSTERIES with bestselling author and researcher Steph Young
In the elevator, Elisa Lam wore a red hoodie and a white shirt. In the elevator of the Cecil Hotel, we can see she is wearing this outfit. Very strangely, this is identical to the outfit a character called ‘Cecilia,’ wore in the horror movie ‘Dark Water’, where a woman ends up dead in a water tower on the roof of a building. There is also a very creepy elevator scene in the movie, with a young woman dressed identical to Elisa Lam in the elevator. What happened to Elisa Lam is almost identical to this horror movie; yet the movie was made before Elisa’s death. Elisa died in 2013. The movie was released in 2005. It is a remake of a Japanese horror movie made in 2002, and the story originates from a book by Koji Suzuki who also wrote ‘The Rings.’ The American version of ‘Dark Water’ stars Jennifer Connelly as ‘Dahlia,’ who has a young daughter called ‘Cecilia.’ They move into a run-down apartment. Not long after they move in, water begins to drip from their bedroom ceiling. The elevator in the building is prone to malfunctioning, like Elisa’s elevator. Cecilia sneaks up to the roof one day and finds a back-pack sitting next to the water tower. In time, Cecilia and Dahlia cannot help but notice the dark water which starts to run out of their taps and toilet. Dahlia goes up to the roof and to her horror, she finds a girl’s dead body floating in the water tower; just like the real-life case of Elisa Lam at the Cecil hotel. How can it be that a movie released before Elisa vanished, seems to mimic so precisely the last known hours of Elisa’s life; even down to the exact outfit she is wearing in an old elevator that malfunctions just like the elevator in the movie? Naming one character ‘Cecilia,’ and the other ‘Dahlia,’ we also cannot but help think of the infamous ‘Black Dahlia’ case in LA, and indeed there seems to be many similarities between Elisa Lam and the ‘Black Dahlia’ victim, Elizabeth Short. Many believe that the Cecil Hotel where Elisa vanished was the last place Elizabeth Short was seen. Elizabeth Short was a young aspiring actress who was found mutilated in January 1947. Her face was carved into a ‘Glasgow Smile’, her body drained of blood, and cut in half, then washed in gasoline. When a local resident happened across her body, at first, they thought it was a store mannequin. Her body was left on display, deliberately to be found and seen. The notorious case of ‘The Black Dahlia,’ as Elizabeth Short came to be known, is an as yet still-unsolved murder-mystery that has beguiled so many. Elisa was ‘washed clean’ by the water, and some believe she too had been drained of blood, because there was so little blood left in her body that it was not even possible to carry out many of the necessary forensic tests. There are other striking and unsettling similarities between Elisa Lam and Elizabeth Short, whose severed body was found on Leimont Park. Both Elizabeth and Elisa were petite, brunette, and pretty, both were called names that derive from Elizabeth, both were in their twenties, and both sadly suffered from depression. Both were known to travel alone and both had travelled from San Diego to downtown LA just prior to their deaths. Both Elisa and the Black Dahlia vanished after last being seen in a downtown hotel, and many say this was the Cecil Hotel. Both were not reported missing for a number of days before their bodies were found, and both died horrifying, inexplicable deaths that would become notorious. Both appear to have been drained of blood. Both cases ‘went viral.’ Newspapers around the world and armchair detectives have been fascinated with the mystery of who killed ‘The Black Dahlia’ for decades, and now Elisa too. Notably as already said, the movie ‘Dark Water’ has a central character called ‘Dahlia,’ and ‘Dahlia’s young daughter is called ‘Cecilia’; so similar to the word ‘Cecil,’ Elisa’s Hotel. It would almost seem as though this movie ties the Black Dahlia and Elisa Lam together in a way that is impossib...
CONTENT WARNING, TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT, RAPE (When we begin discussing the plot of the book and when we talk about changes to the story with the 1998 adaptation)"Seven days..."Americans and other English-speaking listeners might be fairly familiar with Gore Verbinsky's 2002 adaptation of the Koji Suzuki story Ring in his film The Ring, but how many of you knew that the story started life as a novel? And if maybe you're of the select few English-speakers that have read the original book from 1991, how many of you are also familiar with the very strongly cultural Japanese ghost stories that influenced it? We talk about all of this and much much more in this extra-long discussion about the first set of stories and adaptations set in the universe of Ring. Enjoy!

In episode thirteen, award-winning author Marlee Jane Ward joins us to talk Diggers! Published in 1990, Diggers picks up where Truckers left off, splitting the story of the Nomes in two. (You can catch up on Truckers in episode 9.) The Nomes, having fled the destruction of the Store in a stolen lorry, have spent six months - something like five years in Nome time - making a new life in an abandoned quarry. But as humans start to take an interest in their new home, Grimma must hold the quarry Nomes together - no easy task when Nisodemus, the acting Abbott, is trying to convince them all to return to the old ways of the Store. Meanwhile Dorcas, the engineer who made the Long Drive possible, has made a secret discovery in one of the old quarry sheds - a mighty beast, known only as Jekub... With many of the main characters from Truckers exiting the novel quite early on, Diggers focuses on Grimma and Dorcas, with the books' events happening concurrently with those in the third book, Wings. Among its many themes are Pratchetty commentaries on religion, faith, community and responsibility, as well as many new jokes about the ways in which Nomes misunderstand humans - or, perhaps, understand humans perfectly. Have you read Diggers? What did you think? Use the hashtag #Pratchat13 on social media to join the conversation. We particularly want to see your original drawings of Nomes (see the original description from Truckers in the notes below), and to hear what you think about the exciting news of the The Watch TV series being officially greenlit by BBC America! November 24, 2018 marks a special Pratchett anniversary - 35 years since the publication of the very first Discworld novel! That's right, we're going back to the very beginning to read The Colour of Magic and find out if it really is a very good place to start, with help from fantasy writer and freelance editor, Joel Martin! We're sure you have loads of questions, so please send them in via social media using the hashtag #Pratchat14.

His most famous series, Sandman for DC's mature imprint Vertigo, chronicles the life of Dream, also known as Morpheus, one of the seven Endless, anthropomorphic personifications of concepts including Destiny, Despair and, yes, Death. (See the Once and For All podcast for a comparison.) Gaiman was the first journalist to interview Terry, soon after the publication of The Light Fantastic, and the two quickly became friends. Neil has since gone on to become a best-selling novelist, award-winning screenwriter and, most recently, a TV producer, in order to keep a promise to Terry that the television adaptation of Good Omens - the novel they wrote together, based on an idea of Neil's - would be good.The creepy little girl with long black hair who walks weirdly is Sadako, the vengeful spirit of a young girl murdered and thrown into a well in Ring, a 1998 Japanese horror film directed by Hideo Nakata. It was remade in English as The Ring in 2002, directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Naomi Watts. Both versions follow the plot of the 1991 novel by Koji Suzuki, which was been made into an earlier 1995 film and a television series in 1999.Ten is indeed an aspirational age for outdoor nomes, but is about the expected number of years for Store nomes.

After a decent hiatus for showbiz purposes, our infamous books, arts and culture podcast returns with all of the panache of a drunken screening of a Carry On movie. Kicking off the news for 2018 is Grr Martin's hint that the long-awaited Winds of Winter won't be out this year (much to the surprise of nobody). After that it's a rip-roaring ride of discovery with children's books about fantastically great women, gender bias in kid's fiction, George A. Romero's unfinished zombie tales, Sean Hannity's fevered cheese dream about Obama's portrait, and Shakespeare plagiarism (not the way you thought though). Our featured book journeys back to Koji Suzuki's world of Ringu and Spiral with his latest novel S.

Hold on to your VHS tapes! It's time to talk about Koji Suzuki's Ring, the 1991 novel that inspired that movie everyone's heard of with the tape and the phone call and the seven days until your death. He may not be Stephen King, and he may not like horror - but Suzuki does know how to turn a mystery about a murderous videotape into quite the page-turner. Additional talking points include MST3K cons, horror lessons, and evil viruses.

I came across this article in The Houston Chronicle today and thought it was hilarious: TOKYO — In a country where ghosts are traditionally believed to hide in the loo, a Japanese company is advertising a new literary experience — a horror story printed on toilet paper. Each roll carries several copies of a new nine-chapter novella written by Koji Suzuki, the Japanese author of the horror story "Ring," which has been made into movies in both Japan and Hollywood. "Drop," set in a public restroom, takes up about three feet (90 centimeters) of a roll and can be read in just a few minutes, according to the manufacturer, Hayashi Paper. The company promotes the toilet paper, which will sell for 210 yen ($2.20) a roll, as "a horror experience in the toilet." Toilets in Japan were traditionally tucked away in a dark corner of the house due to religious beliefs. Parents would tease children that a hairy hand might pull them down into the dark pool below. (Article written by Associated Press) I'm sure this will be a big seller in Japan. I could go with all kinds of scatalogical comments about this story, but you know what?, I'm above that sort of thing! I'll leave that to you. But what if you really like the story? Do you call up your friends and say "Hey, I was wiping my butt the other day and I came across this really cool story....", or "Hey, I read a really cool story on the toilet the other day, and I saved it for you. Don't worry about the smell." Like I said, I'm above making tasteless comments like that. It seems like I've heard a news story like this before. There's probably already been manga printed on toilet paper. It's just not something I scour the internet for.
