If Sadako of the Japanese film Ringu fame were brought into your mobile devices, this might be what this new app is going to look like. Haunting Melissa, an iOS app from Hooked Media and co-executive producer of the US version of The Ring and The Ring 2, is going to deliver a ghost story to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in a new way in hopes of keeping up with how technology has altered the way stories or movies are consumed today.
It’s like you’re watching a TV show on iTunes with the film broken into segments of varying length. The app can be downloaded for free and you can opt to purchase per episode (no word yet on the amount of episodes) or get a season pass at $6.99 for SD and $14.99 for HD. You’ll then get to find out what happened to Melissa and her mysterious disapperance after warning her friends about the ghostly presence in the isolated farmhouse where she lived.
