QUEER HORROR crawls out of the well this Halloween for THE RING (2002)! This Halloween edition is sponsored by Double Mountain Brewery and Cidery—and celebrates the release of Carla's Well Red IPA—with a preshow starring Portland drag all-stars Baby LeStrange, Valerie DeVille, and Wanda Bones, and hosted by Portland's premier drag clown Carla Rossi!
A rare, superior remake of J-Horror classic RINGU (1998), THE RING follows journalist Rachel (Naomi Watts), a chronically unhappy mother with a chronically weird child who calls her by her first name. To make matters worse, Rachel goes and watches a cursed videotape made by undead child-turned-video-artist Samara, which leaves her with just seven days to live. Can Rachel solve Samara's curse or will the last thing she sees before she dies be (her annoying son and) THE RING? Co-starring Brian Cox, Martin Henderson, and Amber Tamblyn, THE RING is a moody, Oregon-filmed, lesbian-coded ode to unwanted queer kids and their rightful revenge.
