In February 2002 Funshack released their own [[screamer]], which featured a living room and the need to figure out what's wrong with it; after 10 seconds, a mouse (from Liquid Generation's [[Optical Illusion]]) appears with a shriek.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20070704220607/http://www.funshack.com/scary.html</ref> A Spanish version of the original was released in March 2002 by Jaca101 on the website Jaca101.com.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20020329184718oe_/jaca101.com/efectooptico.swf</ref> Another comparable version also exists, but there are no links to it, though ScreamerCentral uses the .swf file as a showcase video for “What's Wrong?”, which can be accessed here.<ref><nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXWOti9M3ek</nowiki></ref> [[Liquid Generation]] made a series of WWWTP in April 2002, only 3 animations were made altogether. from April to December, many copies began to appear, though most of them were deleted.  
Some time after this [[screamer]] was made, Funshack released their own version, which featured a living room and the need to figure out what's wrong with it; after 10 seconds, a mouse (from Liquid Generation's [[Optical Illusions (Liquid Generation)|Optical Illusions]]) appears with a shriek.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20070704220607/http://www.funshack.com/scary.html</ref> A Spanish version of the original was released in March 2002 by Jaca101 on the website Jaca101.com.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20020329184718oe_/jaca101.com/efectooptico.swf</ref> Another comparable version also exists, but there are no links to it, though ScreamerCentral uses the .swf file as a showcase video for “What's Wrong?”, which can be accessed here.<ref><nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXWOti9M3ek</nowiki></ref> [[Liquid Generation]] made a series of WWWTP in April 2002, only 3 animations were made altogether. from April to December, many copies began to appear, though most of them were deleted.  


Weasel Circus also created their own version of WWWTP in 2003. In 2009, Amendia uploaded a [[YouTube]] video which has reached over 1.7 million views. WikiHow also used the [[screamer]] as a reference to “Internet Screamers”.<ref>WikiHow's "[https://www.wikihow.com/Recognize-an-Internet-%22Screamer%22-Video Recognize an Internet Screamer Video]"</ref> though many [[screamers]] like this began to appear, they aren’t well-known in the new era.
