Japanese cinema is known for it’s elegance and it’s style. It’s also know for making really scary horror movies that creep the hell out of everyone that sees them. A global example of this phenomenon was the movie The Ring, which despite getting popular in America thanks to a remake, originated in Japan under the title Ringu.

The Chunichi Dragons and Hanshin Tigers played each other inside the Nagoya Dome but before the game got underway, Sadako — the creepy main character — and some minions came onto the field and creeped everyone out by throwing out the first pitch and then passing out.

In character and dressed in her iconic outfit and long black hair, Sadako tossed out the first pitch of the game while her minions stood around and cast what seemed to be a spell on her.

Whatever spell they cast might have had some effect as the actress launched a 68mph pitch before passing out and having to be taken off the field on a stretcher. This was all part of the act and the entire purpose of the stunt was to promote the upcoming sequel to Ringu called Sadako 3D 2. The sequel is being released on Friday in Japan, but all you need to see is this creepy first pitch to get an idea of what audiences are in store for.
