The 2002 film The Ring doesn't need any help being creepy.
But an anonymous previous owner of an old DVD copy of it sure decided to give it a helping hand anyway.
Riley Cassidy got quite a strange surprise when she opened her used copy of The Ring to find a "totally not haunted," as she described, photograph inside the case.
You can see her thrift store find here:

Some people had the nice idea to make everything significantly more creepy.
In 7 days you will get that same expression she has!— Alyse Wax (@Alyse Wax) 1619996838
That film suddenly became a lot scarier than it already was haha— David Haddon (@David Haddon) 1619997553
in a few years someone is going to buy the same dvd at a thrift shop, but this time your picture is going to be inside, continuing the cycle— \ud83c\udf3fKarl\ud83c\udf3fPlants & Horror\ud83c\udf3f (@\ud83c\udf3fKarl\ud83c\udf3fPlants & Horror\ud83c\udf3f) 1619998452
I\u2019m obsessed with looking at every corner of that photo. I\u2019m not convinced there isn\u2019t something hiding in the background— Andrew Hazelee (@Andrew Hazelee) 1620009457
Others simply told the girl to run, as such a photo inside the case is clearly an omen of doom.
I don\u2019t know if I should burn it or keep it forever!— Riley Cassidy (@Riley Cassidy) 1619997988

Oh no, now we've all seen it! Everyone better take a screenshot of it and pass it on, or we're doomed— Kristin Cleaveland (@Kristin Cleaveland) 1620057339
The Ring, based on a 1998 film from Japan also called Ring (or Ringu), is about a cursed videotape that causes the death of all who watch it in one week.
The American remake started a movement of American remakes of Japanese horror films that would largely rule the horror market in the mid-late 2000s, and includes other films such as The Grudge, Pulse, and The Eye.
There's enough negative space that you'll likely see Samara getting closer and closer in the days to come. Best of luck!— Matt Bilodeau (@Matt Bilodeau) 1619997694

I love finding weird signs of past owners in stuff I buy at thrift stores.— Nathaniel J, professional fool (@Nathaniel J, professional fool) 1620000101
"I feel like you've cursed me to have this woman come out of my television set." --my boyfriend after showing this to him.— \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udded KAT //lumpia hoarder// \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udded (@\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udded KAT //lumpia hoarder// \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udded) 1620011047
Hopefully the photo doesn't lead to a new, real life horror movie for Ms. Cassidy.
