The Ring
An otherworldly being leaves imprints on her victims’ minds (via dated media) leading them to madness, death, or clues to solving a puzzle that will only help her. Ultimately, this malevolent being’s goal is to spread the icons of her misery to everyone. Spread her dark gospel or suffer.
“What is it with reporters? You take one person's tragedy and force the world to experience it … spread it like sickness”
