The Cursed Videotape (also known as The Tape and The Video) is a name for one of three cursed videos. The first tape is the Japanese tape of [[Sadako Yamamura]]. The second, and arguably the most popular, is that of North America [[wellwraith]] [[Samara Morgan]]. The third tape is the Korean version, of [[Park Eun-suh]]. Each tape gives the watcher exactly seven days to live, before they die of a fatal heart attack. However this death can be averted by copying the tape and passing it on to someone else. Sometimes the effects of the tape can linger on the victim, but this is extremely uncommon. | The Cursed Videotape (also known as The Tape and The Video) is a name for one of three cursed videos.

The Cursed Videotape (also known as The Tape and The Video) is a name for one of three cursed videos. The first tape is the Japanese tape of Sadako Yamamura. The second, and arguably the most popular, is that of North America wellwraith Samara Morgan. The third tape is the Korean version, of Park Eun-suh. Each tape gives the watcher exactly seven days to live, before they die of a fatal heart attack. However this death can be averted by copying the tape and passing it on to someone else. Sometimes the effects of the tape can linger on the victim, but this is extremely uncommon. There are known 6 Japanese tapes, 6 American tapes, and 3 Korean tapes. Sadako and Samara both have a tape in the form of a music video. The Samara tape is her nensha's effect on Finnish singer Hanna Pakarinen's music video to her song, "Leave Me Alone". The Sadako video is essentially the same, but is the Japanese music video of "Shiroi Yo" by the singer Matsuzaki Nao, and it has a cure that can be purchased at any Japanese pharmacy.
