Ring Series
From Wikipedia: Four adaptions have been made of Suzuki's 1991 book Ring. The first was the Japanese TV film Ring, released in 1995. This remained very close to the book but didn't have the success of later films.
In 1998, Hideo Nakata made a new Japanese adaptation of the book in his film Ring. The original sequel to this was Rasen, an adaptation of Spiral (Suzuki's sequel to his first Ring book). However, due to poor reception, a new sequel, Ring 2, was released in 1999 which continued the storyline of Ring but was not based on Suzuki's books. This was followed in 2000 by Ring 0: Birthday, which was based on the short story "Lemonheart" from Suzuki's 1999 book, Birthday.
One Ring film has been made in South Korea, the 1999 film The Ring Virus.
Three full-length Ring films were made in the USA, plus one short film. In 2002, The Ring was released. This was an adaptation of Nakata's 1998 film. A short film, Rings, was released in 2005 to fill the gaps between the 2002 film and the second full-length film The Ring Two, also released in 2005. A third full-length film, Rings, was released in 2017.
In 2012 Sadako 3D was released, adapted from Suzuki's book S, and in and 2013 Sadako 3D 2 was released.
In 2015, Hikiko-san vs Sadako was released. It is a crossover of the Japanese Hikiko-san series of horror films.
In 2016, Bunshinsaba vs Sadako was released. It is a crossover of the People's Republic of China Bunshinsaba series of horror films. (The South Korean Bunshinsaba series is unrelated.) trailer and review
In 2016 Sadako vs. Kayako, directed by Kōji Shiraishi, was released. It is a crossover of the Ju-on and Ring series of horror films. It features Sadakaya, a ghost that resulted from the fusion of Sadako and the Ju-on antagonist Kayako Saeki.
