I think I'll go to Spiderman 3 like twelve times, if that happens.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And I'll buy the disc and play it a bunch of times. That'll end up in the rotation with the coffin sex, I don't doubt.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
sumi, that link seems to confirm (in rumor form!) the presence of Man-Wolf in the third movie, though it's odd there's no mention of Lizard.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, perhaps there will be a 4th movie?
Or maybe they are still negotiating. . . and man -- that's a lot of baddies, isn't it?

Or maybe he was just teasing the fanboys and girls, and/or giving himself a pool to draw from. I don't think everything has to pay off.

I want Venom, dammit! And Teppy wants Kraven! And later on, if the franchise gets stale, they can have this ridiculous installment where the villains are Scorpion and Vulture and Rhino and a bunch of other animal-themed losers.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
The original Japanese Ring movie was flat-out terrifying at times in ways that the Naomi Watts version couldn't quite match, despite the hard-to-accept psychic-answers-to-scary-questions deus-ex machina-plot turns. When they finally got to the moments where we saw the angry spirit, my skin crawled like it was trying to leave the room without me.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
MM -- does the second thing in your post happen? (I don't read the comic so I don't know. . . and I don't remember that from the cartoon.)
No it doesn't, sumi. That's what I liked.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I made my husband repeatedly assure me that possession was not real and there were no demons in my apartment after I watched it.
You are aware that Blatty based the book on a supposedly real exorcism case in the 40s, right?
I saw The Ring the night before "Hellbound" aired last season, and was practically laughing at DeKnight's best efforts to terrify us. Willow's outfits have scared me more than anything in that episode.
I think the scariest thing about the original Ringu is something that was cut: a scene where Asakawa finds Ryuji's thesis with "HELL IS REAL" scribbled on it, apparently during his lethal visitation from Sadako.
