Mopey Mary is the main antagonist of "Dead Ringer", a segment of The Simpsons episode "Treehouse of Horror XXXII".
She is the ghost of a young girl who threw herself down a well and died after getting rabbit poop on Valentine's Day in 1932.
Her corpse was found by Groundskeeper Willie who then sealed off the well she was trapped in as it was the end of his shift. However, her spirit would come out of it and go on to kill anyone who watches her cursed TikTok video 7 days after they watched it in many different ways, like stabbing Milhouse with 8 knives and killing Sherri and Terri during their party.
She was voiced by Tress MacNeille, who also voiced Agnes Skinner in the same series.

Biography[]
In 1932, during Valentine's Day, Mopey Mary was given rabbit poop inside her gift. Distraught by this, she threw herself down the old school well and remained there for 7 days, dying in the process. She was later found by Groundskeeper Willie, who sealed it off so anyone wouldn't find her. She would then haunt a cursed video that would be uploaded to TikTok.
During a party, the guests, including Milhouse, Sherri and Terri, were watching a TikTok video. However, the video they watched was none other than the cursed video that was possessed by the spirit of Mopey Mary. 7 days later, Milhouse, having watched the TikTok 8 times earlier, is stabbed and killed with 8 knives on his back. Sherri and Terri are then killed in front of Lisa. Bart tells Lisa that everybody was killed except Lisa, but he didn't watch the video due to it's cursed nature.
To investigate what is going on, they get someone who doesn't fear death, Grandpa, to watch and describe the video's content, having similar visuals to the VHS in The Ring. Later, they ask Principal Skinner about the video, but he brushes them off. Eventually, Groundskeeper Willie learns to them that the one who cursed the video was none other than Mopey Mary, a young girl who threw herself down an old school well after she was given a gift with rabbit poo in it, remaining trapped for 7 days without anyone noticing her, dying in the process. He tells them that her corpse was later found by him during his shift, but as his shift was ending, he covered the well so no one would find out about it. She would eventually go on to possess the video that Milhouse and the others were watching during the party. Lisa, curious, then watches the TikTok. At this point, a mysterious caller tells her that she has 7 days. She then calls the operator a coward and wants them to kill her now, but is then left on hold. Mary then come out of her television to attempt at killing Lisa, but Lisa gives her a Valentine card and becomes friends with her. However, the friendship was only brief, as Mary couldn't handle her clingy nature and jumped back into the well while Lisa was playing her saxophone.
