Are there other examples of the phenomenon, especially pre-James? Plenty of curses only 'take' when certain conditions are met, but I can't think of any others that are on a simple time delay.
I can't think of any off the top of my head. It's also very early for the idea of a transferrable haunting, which can be evaded by being passed on to someone else, cf. again The Ring and It Follows.
(I am very fond of "Casting the Runes." I like the 1979 ITV adaptation, too.)
