Seven Strange and Terrifying Videos Captured on Ring Doorbell Cameras

Since it was first launched, the Ring Doorbell Camera has changed the way we approach the outside world. The ability to see who is standing outside your door from the comfort of your couch or wherever you might be has given us seemingly more control over who we interact with and how.

However, it’s not always butterflies and roses.

This innovation has also produced some of the most terrifying footage we’ve ever seen from real people confronted by dangerous criminals, haunting faces, and even what some would classify as paranormal activity. Honestly, some of them are enough to make you wonder if we really want or need to know who’s on the other side of the door.

Below you’ll find a list of some of the strangest and most terrifying footage caught on a Ring Doorbell Cam. Tell us which ones unsettle you the most and share your favorites that didn’t make the list in the comments below!

Terrifying Ring Doorbell Footage

#1 “Are you sure?’

This footage was released only a week or two ago. It shows a man approach a house and repeatedly knock on the door while repeating “I just have a couple of questions for you. Are you sure?’ This goes on for a couple of minutes before a man responds over the Ring Doorbell. At this point, the footage turns all the more unsettling as the man at the door says he was to assault and kill the woman inside the house.

The footage was shared by Amanda Nowack of Las Vegas. According to Amanda, she was inside the house hiding during the entire encounter. The man never saw her and was never actually speaking directly to her during tense three minutes. Thankfully, the man has been arrested, but that doesn’t make the footage any less unnerving.

#2 Masked Man

This footage from Bristol shows a man approach and knock on someone’s door. That, in and of itself, isn’t so disturbing. However, the man’s strange mask is enough to give us pause and the fact that he covers his hand before checking the door handle makes us wonder exactly what he was up to so late at night.

#3 What exactly is going on here?!

Okay, this one is just strange.

In the following video, you’ll see a man arrive home. He lets himself into his house and locks up, turning on the outside light, etc. A little while later, a young man walks up onto the front porch, looks around, and sets a package down next to a bench before leaving. A few minutes later, a young woman who is clearly looking for something, walks up onto the porch and picks up the package. Finally, the man’s daughter arrives home from babysitting and lets herself into the house.

All of this happened in under a half hour! As several in the comments pointed out, this looks like a food delivery dropped at the wrong house, but can you imagine watching it all go down on your camera alerts the next day?

#4 & 5 Creepy Clowns

They’re either auditioning for the next adaptation of Stephen King’s IT or they were out to disturb the locals. Either way, these are just creepy as hell. Don’t do this!

#6 Trick ‘R Treat

Clearly someone was a fan of Sam from Trick ‘r Treat, but this is going a little far. Notice the way they switch the “sucker” in their hand around from a normal stance to a more offensive, “I’m about to get stabby” grip. Would you open the door?

#7 And then there was Nuke…

You get a bonus with this final video because, well, I’m just a big fan of Nuke’s Top 5. All five of these are pretty creepy, and they’re a great way to round out our list! Check it out, and take a look at some of my favorite creepy YouTube channels here.

It’s been three long years since Netflix unleashed the bloody, but enjoyable Fear Street on its platform. Released in a tryptic fashion, the streamer broke up the story into three episodes, each taking place in a different decade which by the finale were all tied together.

Now, the streamer is in production for its sequel Fear Street: Prom Queen which brings the story into the 80s. Netflix gives a synopsis of what to expect from Prom Queen on their blog site Tudum:

“Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”

Based on R.L. Stine’s massive series of Fear Street novels and spin-offs, this chapter is number 15 in the series and was published in 1992.

No word on when Netflix will drop the series into its catalog.

Live Action Scooby-Doo Reboot Series In Works at Netflix

The ghosthunting Great Dane with an anxiety problem, Scooby-Doo, is getting a reboot and Netflix is picking up the tab. Variety is reporting that the iconic show is becoming an hour-long series for the streamer although no details have been confirmed. In fact, Netflix execs declined to comment.

If the project is a go, this would be the first live-action movie based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon since 2018’s Daphne & Velma. Before that, there were two theatrical live-action movies, Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), then two sequels that premiered on The Cartoon Network.

Currently, the adult-oriented Velma is streaming on Max.

Scooby-Doo originated in 1969 under the creative team Hanna-Barbera. The cartoon follows a group of teenagers who investigate supernatural happenings. Known as Mystery Inc., the crew consists of Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and his best friend, a talking dog named Scooby-Doo.

Normally the episodes revealed the hauntings they encountered were hoaxes developed by land-owners or other nefarious characters hoping to scare people away from their properties. The original TV series named Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ran from 1969 to 1986. It was so successful that movie stars and pop culture icons would make guest appearances as themselves in the series.

Celebrities such as Sonny & Cher, KISS, Don Knotts, and The Harlem Globetrotters made cameos as did Vincent Price who portrayed Vincent Van Ghoul in a few episodes.
