There is actually an Easter egg on The Ring DVD that will play the video from the movie - actually rather spooky, because once you start it, it can't be stopped short of turning off the DVD player.
We're looking at the same decorating theme for our get together this year and I had posted the same question.
Here's the thread I pulled and posted my question in:
horror movie prop game
Even though the thread is regards a movie 'game', I found it useful to get the brain churning. Hope it helps you, too.
