The [[screamer]] face itself originated from gettyimages<ref>https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/young-woman-screaming-close-up-royalty-free-image/BD4381-001</ref>, and was created by 'Gandee Vasan' in 1998 as a stock photo based on "The Scream" by Edvard Munch. This stock image was also used (albeit edited) for the 2001 movie "Maniacts." Jaybill himself doctored the original stock photo into it's infamous screamer form associated with this prank.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020716184225/http://www.jaybill.com/article.php?articleID=57</ref> | The [[screamer]] face itself originated from gettyimages<ref>https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/young-woman-screaming-close-up-royalty-free-image/BD4381-001</ref>, and was created by 'Gandee Vasan' in 1998 as a stock photo based on "The Scream" by Edvard Munch.
