There are minor adaptations that describe Momo making first contact, or casting her first hex, through private messages in various apps or through in-game voice chat. Later versions of the story warn that she will appear in the middle of children’s videos to encourage self-harm.

In one rendition of her story, she entrances children with her shocking face and then gives them increasingly morbid instructions, culminating in suicide. Like Samara, Momo is said to possess young people through screens. Starting last year, and flaring this February, Americans of “Ring”-watching age became transfixed by another string-haired demon girl menacing the youth: Momo. For now, the franchise appears to be on pause.Īt least officially. The third installment of the American series, “Rings” (2017), was a minor commercial success and a massive critical flop. “The Ring” was both horrifying and meaningfully divergent from its source material, a Japanese book and film series. The particulars of the story are less important than the version that has lodged itself in our imaginations: the tape itself, a choppy cut of generically alarming images the ringing phone, and the voice on the other end of the line whispering seven days the inhuman form crawling out of the television the waterlogged face peeking out from behind the wall of stringy black hair. In that film, Samara, a demonic orphan drowned in a well by her tormented adoptive mother, rose from the dead, via VHS tape, to terrorize the living. Released in 2002, “ The Ring” furnished us with a fresh and memorably horrifying rendition of the folkloric vengeful ghost.
