Yesss bring back the Ring pranks.

Given how many times this movie's release date has been bounced around I'm a little worried about the quality of this film, but I mean I'll be there in the theater for sure.

(and I still wouldn't mind a nice moody anime series from the Ring franchise just saying)

I'm not a fan of horror.

But I am a fan of hidden camera pranks. This was hilarious!

After seeing this, I had to show my mom, she loved it so much she shared it on Facebook....

I wish I knew which store was doing this earlier. As a prankster myself in my younger day's I would have loved to turn it back on them like I did a few years back on the TV crew that tried to get me on a Japanese prank show.

Woman craws out of TV, old man such as myself fakes heart attack. then again with my luck and bust up bones probably would get fried by the AED, and end up on JapanToday and RocketNews24 as a result. If I survived, I would likely never hear the end of it.

I think those people saying, "It looks like she's really there" had to be shills. No hdtv is that good.

I think my reaction would've been more like the big dude who was startled by someone grabbing him, but then laughed when he saw her still climbing out of the tv. I just don't get those people screeching and running out of the store - unless they were paid too.

I was surprised to see the ring woman grabbing their arm, which some people react by throwing their fist.

How about the one woman who wasn't even looking until (ahem) Sadako was standing right behind her?
"Yeah, would you keep your hair out my space please?...AHH!!" Laughing
