Most of these screamers use scary images and loud sounds or screams to increase the effect (hence the name ''screamer''). Some examples of screamers are [[The Maze]] by [[Jeremy Winterrowd]], [[Anne.jpg]], [[Ghost Caught on Tape]], [[What's Wrong?]] and the [[K-fee commercials]]. Screamers often have a scary image and a loud scream, per example, [[Regan MacNeil]] from the 1973's classic horror movie ''[[wikipedia:The_Exorcist_(film)|The Exorcist]]''. Horror films or games are not considered screamers since the users already know they will get scared. In some cases they have startling or disgusting images, and these are called [[shock sites]].
