Samara Morgan's backstory is one of the most haunting in horror lore, especially from 'The Ring' franchise. Her origins trace back to being the illegitimate daughter of a horse breeder named Evelyn and a mysterious man named Burke. From birth, Samara was 'different'—her mere presence caused plants to wither and animals to panic. Her adoptive parents, the Morgans, tried to help her, but her psychic abilities grew uncontrollable. She projected nightmares onto anyone nearby, driving her adoptive mother Anna to madness. The tragic climax came when Anna, unable to bear it anymore, sealed Samara in a well and left her to die. The seven days of suffering before her death birthed the cursed videotape, her vengeance manifesting through technology.
What chills me isn’t just the supernatural element, but the human cruelty underlying it. Samara wasn’t inherently evil; she was a terrified child failed by everyone around her. The well scene in the movies—the damp darkness, her tiny fingers clawing at the walls—sticks with me because it’s visceral despair. The curse feels like her only way to force the world to see her pain. It’s a tragic cycle: her victims become part of her story, perpetuating the horror she endured.
Liv Morgan has had quite the ride at different times. Morgan was once a member of The Riott Squad, and it was there that she made quite a dramatic turn-about--ending up all alone on Monday Night Raw. There was a lot of time in 2019 when she wasn't seen at all on-camera; yet back she came with a roar. She disrupted Lana's wedding to Bobby Lashley and ending the party in great style. The next step for her was to push the character further. She said that she had a love affair with Lana. Since then, she's been going it alone in the ring as well her own style of theatre. WWE Superstars always evolve and change over time. It's always interesting to watch how they transform, and Liv Morgan's journey has been no different.
