Was that really Daveigh as Samara coming out of the TV?
Yes and no. The following is courtesy of a source who was involved with the film: “For the most part it is Daveigh. Her stunt double [was] a small woman, about Daveigh’s size. She had very muscular arms / legs though, so she climbed out of the actual TV, but also, Daveigh did some of that as well, it was mixed in somehow. But it is Daveigh standing up, walking and moving forward. Everyone says it couldn’t be her because of height or whatever, but it is all the way Gore worked the camera angles. It’s Daveigh at the end as well but with major face makeup on.
