The story centers on the idea that a cursed pop-up will appear on a random victim’s computer. The pop-up is just an image of a door, and a recorded voice will ask, ‘Do you like the red room?’ The pop-up will continue to appear until the voice can finish its question, even if it is closed.
Those who see the pop-up are later found dead, the walls painted red with their own blood.
This story began as a flash animation short about a boy who was cursed and died after seeing the pop-up. In real life, the pop-up is set to appear on the user’s computer at the end of the video. The video’s status as an urban legend was cemented when it was discovered that the 11-year-old murderer who committed the Sasebo Slashing (the killing of her 12-year-old classmate) had the video as a bookmark on her computer.
