surely the real loophole is just to rip the video to a torrent and endlessly seed it, then you’ll never die

I think that was basically the plot of one of the sequels, rings, but I never watched it so idk.
The curse transfers if you record the video and make someone else watch it. It doesn’t transfer back like in It Follows. You just have to show it to someone who is on hospice. They will die horribly, but they were going to die anyway.
But can't ghosts float? She's been known to teleport. What are you going to do about that?
No, she's not covered in oil and its not raining.
Not covered in oil = not flying. Not raining = not flying. No rain and no oil is a double negative, she would fly.
It would still be worth it to pull one over on an evil spirit. Absolutely legendary.
Pretty sure she can't die
She'd just find her way back to the person
I don't think the drop would kill her considering she's a spirit that comes out of TV's
She'd probably just drop to the ground and then make her way up to you
Probably would piss her off as well
Angry Sadako-san would probably be more dangerous
nonono what you do is you suspend one tv above another tv. then she'll simply fall out of the first tv, into the second tv. then you flip the whole assembly so she keeps falling. then you only let her out once she agrees to teach you otherworldly magics and she signs a magical pact agreeing to stop with the killing people via VHS thing
That's going to take a fair bit of engineering and a reliable power supply
This doesn't rule out if she can choose what TV's to go in and out of, if she can she could just ignore the second TV and bounce off the screen
Just run Adblock and noscript, easy peasy chicken squeezy
Probably should throw in SponsorBlock. Just to sure.
What happens if you watch the ring while hooking up with someone with the it follows std? Do they team up against you? Or do they fight for winner takes all?
There is a sadako vs kayako movie, basically The Ring vs The Grudge, and from what I gather the curses can combine into an even bigger curse. On the other hand in sadako vs bunshinsaba (the Red Lady) they basically just brawl until they're both trapped forever.
I get the feeling that the It Follows creature would suck in a fight, but it would make for an excellent post credit scene where it walks into a well.
You'd have to bang Sadako for the It Follows thing to go after her. So... God speed!
The Entity, which is I guess what they call it, seems to have some intelligence since it avoided a trap and tried to electrocute Jay, so getting it to fight Sadako is as easy as getting Sadako to fight any other spirit.
I meant into the well. But yeah, if she got in Its way, I'm sure they'd throw down.
Oh yeah, I guess it probably would just go back to it's own business rather than follow her home after they scuffled.
Can someone explain?
The Ring is a horror movie which involves a haunted VHS tape that causes the death of whoever watches it. The viewer will be told they'll die in 7 days and when that time is up a weird ghost girl thing climbs out of their TV to kill them. The joke here is if you place your TV facing out the window of a highrise the ghost will just fall out the window seemingly to its demise.
