Horror Faves
crossposted from my rentry.All-Time Favorite
the ringverse! you'll usually see me posting about the first two american movies, but i'm also fond of the japanese ones (which i'm working through slowly- i'm bad at watching new movies lol. the latest one i've seen was sadako 3d!) and have read most of the books. my favorite movies are the ring and ringu 0 and my favorite character is rachel! 🖤 and as a final note i have rachel/noah brainrot. bi4bi legends.
