You may not know them by name, but you’ve probably seen or heard of them — two creepy girls with long flowing dark hair covering their faces, appearing in cursed videotapes that, when played, come out of the TV screen and into reality to kill the viewer. They popularized the “onryo” — vengeful spirits from Japanese stories — to American cinemas.
They are pretty much the same character, but one is the Japanese original (SADAKO YAMAMURA) from RINGU, and the other is the American remake (SAMARA MORGAN) from THE RING. Both share the tragic story of being wrongfully killed and creating a videotape that kills the viewer within seven days.

CHARACTER BIO:
Samara Morgan (born Samara Osorio) is the central antagonist of The Ring American franchise, which was a remake of the Ring Japanese franchise. She is the vengeful ghost of a young mass murderer and her character is based on Sadako Yamamura, who shares a similar backstory.
Sadako Yamamura (山村 貞子), is the central antagonist of Koji Suzuki’s Ring novel series and the Japanese film franchise Ringu. Sadako’s fictional history alternates between continuities, but all depict her as the vengeful ghost of a psychic who was murdered and thrown into a well. As a ghost, she uses nensha, her most distinctive power and weapon, to create a cursed video tape that will kill whoever watches it exactly one week later unless the tape is copied and shown to another person, who then must repeat the same process.
