This Day in Halloween: Director Gore Verbinski’s American remake of the 1998 Japanese horror film "The Ring" opens across the U.S. in 2002.

The Ring premieres at the Hollywood Film Festival in 2002. The first of a string of American remakes of Japanese horror films — including The Grudge, Dark Water and The Eye — and the first of a trilogy of Ring movies, the film is regarded as one of the best horror films of the last 25 years.
