“The Ring” (2002). Easter Egg in the dvd menu. If you click up until your cursor is no longer visible, and then hit enter, your remote is temporarily disabled and the “cursed” video will play. When it concludes, you only regain control of the remote after a phone rings twice.

The phone ringing also plays only through the rear right speaker on a surround setup, which used to sit next to our landline phone.

This movie scared the shit out of 12 year old me. I was sleeping over my buddies house and he had a fucking coat stand in the corner of the room that looked exactly like that hunched over lunatic. So in the middle of the night I was so freaked out I jumped off the floor and squeezed myself in the 3 inch space between my buddy and the couch cushions. So now we were 2 people sleeping on one couch

The VHS was creepy as well. It used to play "the tape" right when you first started the video, then AFTER they would show FBI warnings, trailers, etc, and then start the movie.
