The Grudge, and The Ring ghosts open Japanese baseball game in perfectly bizarre stunt

Man, how I love the over-the-top bombastic of Japanese pop culture. I mean, we do stunts to promote movies in the States, but this is perfection.

To promote the upcoming crossover sequel Sadako vs Kayako, which pits the ghosts from The Ring (Ringu in the original version) and The Grudge (Ju-On), the J-horror icons had a, um, grudge-match at a recent baseball game between the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters and Yakult Swallows.

In the clip below, Sadako enters the ring (I just did it again, didn't I?) and warms up to pitch against Kayako and the ghost child Toshio. It turns out that Kayako ain't a half bad player because she hits a homer. But, to be fair, Sadako did have her evil eyes covered as she pitched from the mound.

Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures to Reboot 'The Grudge'

Deadline recently reported that "The Grudge," the American remake of Takashi Shimizu's Japanese "Ju-On," will be getting a reboot. This time around, Good Universe and Ghost House Pictures are relaunching the franchise, with Jeff Buhler set to write up a draft.

The American version was released in 2004 and starred Sarah Michelle Gellar as a nurse in Tokyo that suffered at the hands of an evil, and fatal, curse. The Shimizu-directed remake only cost about $10 million to make, which is a relatively low budget. The film went on to gross $187 million worldwide and spawned two sequels. Set to produce the film are Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Taka Ichise, with Roy Lee, Joe Drake, Nathan Kahane and Doug Davison executive producing. Currently, there is no director attached to the project, but maybe Shimizu will return to the helm once again?

While it's only been ten years since the release of the American, the success of Raimi's "Evil Dead" reboot is definitely something to keep in mind. Are you excited about this addition to the year of the reboots, or do you think it's too soon and should be left alone? Either way, keep checking back here for the latest info!

'Saturday Night Live' gets hauntingly funny

One of the funnier skits on Saturday’s new Saturday Night Live proved that a terrifying ghost can be pretty hilarious. It was great to see Kristin Wiig back on the set and even cooler to see her play a Korean water ghost ... a Mul-Gwishin!

We’d love to see the Disney Channel actually have a show called "Aw Nuts! Mom’s a Ghost" but for now, we’ll just have this clip to keep our spirits up. When Hayley and Max’s mom (Wiig) heads to South Korea for a business trip, she has an affair with a business man. He fears she may reveal the affair so he drowns her and she comes back as a ghost reminiscent of The Ring and The Grudge.

Obviously, hilarity ensues and you can check it out here.
