Samara From The Ring Found Crawling Out Of Questionable Crowdfunding Tunnels

Daveigh Chase’s former manager warns that her boyfriend’s internet tip jar might be less fundraiser and more spooky cash grab.

Listen, we all know Daveigh Chase is famous for climbing out of television sets and ruining the weekend plans of anyone who watches a dusty VHS tape. But now, it seems the real horror story involves a GoFundMe page that’s smellier than the bottom of a well. Her former manager is basically waving a giant red flag that says 'stop hitting the donate button,' claiming the funds are totally ghosting the actress's actual needs. Her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, set up the digital begging bowl, but the manager claims it’s about as legitimate as a psychic hotline. While we were hoping the money was going toward waterproof mascara or perhaps some industrial-strength hair conditioner for those damp 'Ring' locks, it turns out the cash might be pulling a disappearing act. It’s a classic case of digital drama that even a spooky videotape couldn’t predict. At this point, you're better off throwing your spare change into a literal well and making a wish that your ex doesn't start a fundraiser in your name. Daveigh is a horror icon, sure, but nobody signed up for the terrifying sequel where your rent money gets sucked into the internet void by a boyfriend with a dream and a Wi-Fi connection.
