| *''[[Blackcom]]'' was a [[screamer]] [[application]]-based [[malware]] created by FlashUpload and coded in VBScript. Upon launching, it presents a deceptive error message that resembles a [[wikipedia:Microsoft Word|Microsoft]] Word issue, claiming that characters in <code>MSWORD.EXE</code> are not understood. Shortly afterward, it displays a false binary error message and prompts the user to include specific characters in an error report. Subsequently, Blackcom generates additional fake error messages related to <code>svchost.exe</code> and <code>DRVSTORE</code>, indicating the lack of an essential system file and the inability of Windows to run. Shortly, the trojan induces a system shutdown and corrupts <code>hal.dll</code> in the System32 directory, making Windows unbootable. Additionally, Blackcom changes the homepage to a [[YouTube]] [[screamer]], although the specific content of the screamer remains unknown. | | *''[[Blackcom]]'' was a [[screamer]] [[application]]-based [[malware]] created by FlashUpload and coded in VBScript.

| *''Ghost Television'', also known as Ghost TV, was a [[screamer]] [[Flash]] [[game]] created by Sugarqube, the same platform that hosted [[Murder Investigation]] and [[Night Vision]]. However, the screamer is no longer playable as the <code>[[.swf]]</code> file was not archived during that time. The screamer game pretends to be a surveillance camera game in which the player must search for a ghost inside an abandoned house. An EVP monitor is provided, which records a ghost message, and occasionally the voice can be heard saying "Help me." After a long period of searching, breathing can be heard, and the screen becomes snowy. At this point, a ghost boy briefly appears.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20061111012328/sugarqube.com/Ecards/CardView.cfm?CardID=1371&L1=186&L2=253&L3=0&</ref>

| *''[[Plafo the Platformer]]'' was a [[screamer]] [[game]] for [[wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]] made with [[wikipedia: GameMaker Lite 8.1|GameMaker Lite 8.1]]. In this game, players control the main (And only) character named Plafo, and supposedly, the goal of the game is to avoid the obstacles and reach the black lines at the end of the screen. When the game is launched, the player will start off in the First Level while chiptune music plays. There is nothing special in the first level as there is nothing to avoid. When reaching the second level, Plafo needs to avoid a big hole; if Plafo falls in the hole, the whole level restarts. When reaching the Fifth level, there will be red blocks with "OOF" written on them, and the only way to avoid them is to pull a Yellow Lever so that the "OOF" blocks can be destroyed. And finally, when reaching the Final Seventh Level, instead of the black lines, there will be a black door with the "OOF" Blocks surrounding it. When pulling the Yellow Lever, which destroys the "OOF" blocks, and when touching the Black Door, a gray face with black eyes and a mouth appears, without a scream.<ref>mediafire.com/file/miw7aym1baq44nx/Plafo+the+Platformer.exe</ref>

| *''[[Pokémon Death Version]] was a screamer game by Theohmguy, creator of the infamous I HATE YOU.exe. Uchakip, considered its full version, features a disturbing cutscene with Pikachu having black eyes, red pupils, and bleeding. The main menu cryptically displays "THEY, WANT, YOU," leading to gameplay as Red in Lavender Town. After a warning from Professor Oak, a battle with Pikachu ensues, but before the player can choose, Pikachu is captured, leading to a disturbing image and the game abruptly ending in a haunted hallway. The sequel, Uchakip, is also lost.<ref>gamejolt.com/games/pok-mon-death-version/40280</ref>

| *[[Quiz Night with the Scratch Cat!]] was a [[screamer]] [[game]] developed by Redlarkk on January 3, 2019. It is similar to his previous game where it appears to be a cute game but ends in a screamer. This time, there is a clear hint toward the screamer. The game features simple yes/no questions asked by the Scratch Cat, and players who answer incorrectly are prompted to try again. This pattern continues until the fifth question, which presents a jumble of meaningless letters. Regardless of the player's answer, a [[screamer]] featuring [[Ima Socchi]] flying from the TV with a loud demonic scream ensues. On the game's title screen, players can press 'Z' to view the instructions. However, pressing 'Y' triggers a warning screamer. Although the game was initially removed from the Scratch website on January 28, 2019, it was subsequently re-uploaded on May 3, 2019, and then again on August 25, 2019, before being removed once more.<ref>scratch.mit.edu/projects/276975720/</ref>

| *[[Smb3free.cf]] was a [[website]] that redirected to an online Flash game. It was created with the Hello Mario Engine plugin by AnimatorXP for the "Create your own screamer!" contest, which was held on January 1, 2016. The game itself pretends to be a free flash port of Super Mario Bros. When the player dies, a flashing picture of Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist appears with a loud scream. But it is possible for you to go to the end where the random item is going to be where you can receive a mushroom, a flower, or a star, but when you jump on that item, the same screamer will appear too.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20160629155942/animatorxp.com/smb3free/</ref>
