The original Japanese Ring (1998) by Hidea Nakata and the American remake The Ring (2002) by Gore Verbinski started and coined the term J-horror. It was the first of many Japanese horror films to be remade for American audiences and became part of the essential horror film lexicon. Invasion of the Remake watched them and got the call. Seven days the caller on the other end said, we told them we only needed 2 hours. We looked into The Ring, and The Ring looked back in fear because it is October, and you know what that means...we have all the horror...hashtag #AllTheHorror on Twitter and join the conversation!
