A screamer, also known as a Jumpscare or scary pop-up, is a type of game, video, website, or program that aims to scare and startle viewers by tricking them into focusing on the screen before revealing a sudden and often frightening visual or audio change. Most screamers use a combination of creepy or unsettling images and loud, sudden noises to create a sense of shock and fear in the viewer. For example, a screamer might appear to be a harmless video or game, but then suddenly flash a disturbing image of a face or creature accompanied by a loud scream to achieve their intended effect. Unlike horror films and professional horror games, screamers are designed to surprise the viewer, and may even include graphic and disturbing images that shock and traumatize the viewer, making them a type of shock site.

History
[edit | edit source]Internet screamers are one of the earliest examples of internet trends, with the first screamer to be popularized being "Scary Maze Game" in 2004. This caused a domino-effect that resulted in people recording their reactions and uploading them to JewTube. Shortly after the popularity of the trend died out, an early version of foodists started making nuscreamers known as "Shock Sites". These sites typically featured graphic, disturbing, or pornographic content designed to disgust or startle viewers. (Sometimes there was 'p DOCTOOOOOOOOOOS)
spoilered screamers, especially variants of Anne.jpg, are a common occurrence on /soy/.

fact: the sharty used to have a screamer called "the.html" that was made by kuz himself. There was also a website called "Gapejak.party" which baited people into think it was a splinter but was actually a Jeff the Killer screamer.
