* ''Ring 2''. The "why won't this delete?" scene is widely considered the single most terrifying moment in the whole film (in addition with Sadako's well ascent during the climax). Okazaki ''really'' shouldn't have chickened out of watching and passing on the tape.

* The tape itself is just horrific. It's a collage of short, disturbing scenes that ''seem'' to be non-sequiturs, but make a terrible sort of sense once you know the backstory.

* The first novel has a few eerie moments aside from the main plot. When Asakawa arrives at South Hakone Pacific Land, he does so on a road that is unusually narrow for the entrance to a resort, which then suddenly widens as he gets closer. He stops at the main building to as k for directions, and there are plenty of people there, even though it's late at night on a week day. There's something about the small part of the novel that's just so darn creepy.

* The mysterious voice on Sadako's tape (theorised by some to be the voice of "[[Fan Nickname|the Towel Man]]"), which can only be heard clearly when the tape is played in slow-motion, is incredibly eerie and creepy. "If you keep on doing ''Shomon'', ''Bokon'' will come." (Incorrectly translated in some versions as "Frolic in brine, goblins be thine" although the basic meaning is the same.) Doubles as an example of [[Hell Is That Noise]].
