'''Scary Demon Face''' is a [[screamer]] video made by the YouTube channel Saxon Burner Studios on August 20, 2007. <br />
<br />
The clip is 15 seconds long. It opens on a gray-colored shot of the ocean, accompanied by the title "SAXON BURNER STUDIOS" in Stencil Antiqua EF Rough font above it while the sound of gusting wind plays in the background. <br />
<br />
After approximately 4 seconds, the scene changes to a boy looking into the camera. His face backs away slightly, and he briefly stares into the camera before the sound effects of "[https://youtu.be/FmTeC1kmEPM Disk Jockey Traditionals, Vol. 7 – Psycho]" begins playing. <br />
<br />
As this happens, the wind sound stops, and the boy's face warps at 0:06, transforming into a version of the face with arched eyebrows, and a wide circular mouth and eyes (similar to black holes). A low-pitched male scream is played over this as the boy's face continues warping, before returning to normal.<br />
<br />
The boy moves away from the camera before the video cuts to black at 0:09, and remains black for the remainder of the video while the sound of blowing wind from the intro plays again. Sometime between February 2011 and April 2017, the original video was deleted for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
The screamer face would later be used in the game [https://jefequeso.itch.io/indie-horror-simulator-2015 Indie Horror Simulator 2015].<br />

'''Look Into the Spiral''' was a [[screamer]] video uploaded on August 3rd, 2007 by user brad80123. In 2019, the video was removed due to the channel being terminated for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
The video starts with the following text, scrolling from bottom to top: "Watch closely in the middle for 30 seconds..." It then shows a spinning black-and-white spiral, similar to other optical illusion videos, with the song "Spacedust" by Hawkwind playing in the background. After 38 seconds, a picture of [[Regan MacNeil]] with the face of [[Pazuzu]] pops up, along with a violin screech used in the movie ''[[wikipedia:Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]''.<br />

'''The True Story of the Melancholic Princess''' is a screamer video uploaded on May 22nd, 2010 by user rawgraffics.<br />
<br />
The video claims that, just before a Japanese girl committed suicide, she made a portrait of herself. This so-called portrait, the ''[[The Melancholic Princess|Melancholic Princess]]'' then appears. It then claims that people can't stop looking into the girl's eyes, and that the image is cursed with her negative emotions, preventing the viewer from looking away. Throughout all this, ghostly sounds are heard.<br />
<br />
It also claims that the image will change as time passes. It then tells you to simply stare into her eyes, only for a close-up of a zombified baby to appear with strained screams.<br />

{{Quote|Over the years, I've been getting tons of emails from people telling me that my painting was used as some ridiculous urban myth about some girl who painted this image before commiting suicide, and if you stare at the image long enough her ghost will appear. Really? Seriously? Are people really that gullible? I've seen many of these discussions online, and it's just hilarious.|Robert Chang's response to his work being turned into a creepypasta.}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Melancholic princess.jpg|thumb|200px|The original image used in the very famous [[creepypastas]].]]<br />
[[File:Melancholic_princess_alternate.jpg|thumb|200px|The alternative version where Princess Ruu was given a jewelry head necklace.]]<br />
The '''Melancholic Princess''', also known as '''Princess Ruu''' and more famously known as '''Sonee''', is an art piece created by Robert Chang. Eventually, it took on a life of its own and evolved into an internet urban legend. The legend of ''Sonee'' has served as the basis and setup for numerous internet jumpscares. Aside from being a classic creepypasta, the picture was of a sci-fi/fantasy screenplay from which the author Robert Chang had been writing at that time, titled "Tellurian Sky".<ref name="ethereality">https://www.ethereality.info/ethereality_website/paintings_drawings/new/illustrations/melancholic_princess/melancholic_princess.htm</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The ''Melancholic Princess'' was created on February 18, 2002 by Thai artist Robert Chang, also known under the pseudonym "Lunatique".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170505131502/https://www.epilogue.net/art/13731-melancholic-princess "Melancholic Princess"]. Epilogue. Archived from the [https://www.epilogue.net/art/13731-melancholic-princess original] (February 18th, 2002)</ref> The piece was created as concept art for a sci-fi/fantasy screenplay he had been writing, titled ''Tellurian Sky''.<ref name="ethereality" /> The subject of the painting is the main character, Princess Ruu, in her final casual portrait before her coronation following the death of her father, the king. Ruu's melancholy expression is intended to capture the grief for her lost father, the burden of her impending responsibilities, and the pain of knowing that she will be permanently separated from her lover once crowned.<ref name="ethereality" /><br />
<br />
Eventually, the painting somehow became the subject of an online urban legend. Chang himself caught wind of the legend a few years prior to 2006, when he received an email about it from someone in China (which therefore is where it is most strongly suspected to have originated). During this period, the legend was textually transmitted through online forums. Eventually, even English speakers sent emails to Chang as well, indicating that the legend had spread into the western hemisphere. Chang recounted this experience in a blog he posted on May 31, 2006. <br />
<br />
Only less than one month later, the urban legend truly exploded. On June 11, 2006, YouTuber sonee uploaded a video<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTmwBhLMlFg</ref> titled "SONEE: Scary Clip". The video features a line of text which had to do with the lore and the picture changing. The video then prompts the viewer to stare at the painting for 5 minutes, accompanied by creepy music. At the end, the video then asks, "Did you see it?", before fading to black. This video gave major exposure to the urban legend, which many took to calling "Sonee". The template of Sonee provided the perfect conditions for a jumpscare, an opportunity which many internet users took advantage of. Numerous variations of the above video/legend were soon uploaded to YouTube, with jumpscares included at the end. Examples include "SONEE: (The Real Story)", "[[The True Story of the Melancholic Princess]]", "Scary Japanese Girl Illusion", and "[[Scariest Screamer]]".<br />

While the urban legend is obviously false, many have still reported seeing the painting warp itself when staring at it. Many people, especially fellow artists, have offered several explanations for this. Most of the painting is blurry, except for the eyes, which pronounce Ruu's piercing gaze. Additionally, the art style is a blend between anime and real life, causing an Uncanny Valley effect. And due to the rest of the painting besides the eyes being blurry, the viewer's brain may "automatically" adjust the image to slight degrees on its own, making the image seem as if it has moved or warped.<br />

'''The True Story of the Melancholic Princess''' is a screamer video uploaded on May 22nd, 2010 by user rawgraffics.<br />
<br />
The video claims that, just before a Japanese girl committed suicide, she made a portrait of herself. This so-called portrait, the ''Melancholic Princess'' then appears. It then claims that people can't stop looking into the girl's eyes, and that the image is cursed with her negative emotions, preventing the viewer from looking away. Throughout all this, ghostly sounds are heard.<br />
<br />
It also claims that the image will change as time passes. It then tells you to simply stare into her eyes, only for a close-up of a zombified baby to appear with strained screams.<br />

The '''Melancholic Princess''', also known as '''Princess Ruu''' and more famously known as '''Sonee''', is an art piece created by Robert Chang. Eventually, it took on a life of its own and evolved into an internet urban legend. The legend of ''Sonee'' has served as the basis and set up for numerous internet jumpscares. Aside from being a classic creepypasta, the picture was of a sci-fi/fantasy screenplay from which the author Robert Chang had been writing at that time, titled "Tellurian Sky".<ref name="ethereality">https://www.ethereality.info/ethereality_website/paintings_drawings/new/illustrations/melancholic_princess/melancholic_princess.htm</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The ''Melancholic Princess'' was created on February 18, 2002 by Thai artist Robert Chang, also known under the pseudonym "Lunatique".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170505131502/https://www.epilogue.net/art/13731-melancholic-princess "Melancholic Princess"]. Epilogue. Archived from the [https://www.epilogue.net/art/13731-melancholic-princess original] (February 18th, 2002)</ref> The piece was created as concept art for a sci-fi/fantasy screenplay he had been writing, titled ''Tellurian Sky''.<ref name="ethereality" /> The subject of the painting is the main character, Princess Ruu, in her final casual portrait before her coronation following the death of her father, the king. Ruu's melancholy expression is intended to capture the grief for her lost father, the burden of her impending responsibilities, and the pain of knowing that she will be permanently separated from her lover once crowned.<ref name="ethereality" /><br />
<br />
Eventually, the painting somehow became the subject of an online urban legend. Chang himself caught wind of the legend a few years prior to 2006, when he received an email about it from someone in China (which therefore is where it is most strongly suspected to have originated). During this period, the legend was textually transmitted through online forums. Eventually, even English speakers sent emails to Chang as well, indicating that the legend had spread into the western hemisphere. Chang recounted this experience in a blog he posted on May 31, 2006. <br />
<br />
Only less than one month later, the urban legend truly exploded. On June 11, 2006, YouTuber sonee uploaded a video<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTmwBhLMlFg</ref> titled "SONEE: Scary Clip". The video features a line of text which had to do with the lore and the picture changing. The video then prompts the viewer to stare at the painting for 5 minutes, accompanied by creepy music. At the end, the video then asks, "Did you see it?", before fading to black. This video gave major exposure to the urban legend, which many took to calling "Sonee". The template of Sonee provided the perfect conditions for a jumpscare, an opportunity which many internet users took advantage of. Numerous variations of the above video/legend were soon uploaded to YouTube, with jumpscares included at the end. Examples include "SONEE: (The Real Story)", "[[The True Story of the Melancholic Princess]]", "Scary Japanese Girl Illusion", and "[[Scariest Screamer]]".<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
While the urban legend is obviously false, many have still reported seeing the painting warp itself when staring at it. Many people, especially fellow artists, have offered several explanations for this. Most of the painting is blurry, except for the eyes, which pronounce Ruu's piercing gaze. Additionally, the art style is a blend between anime and real life, causing an Uncanny Valley effect. And due to the rest of the painting besides the eyes being blurry, the viewer's brain may "automatically" adjust the image to slight degrees on its own, making the image seem as if it has moved or warped.<br />

The ''Melancholic Princess'' was created in February 2002 by Thai artist Robert Chang, also known under the pseudonym "Lunatique". The piece was created as concept art for a sci-fi/fantasy screenplay he had been writing, titled ''Tellurian Sky''. The subject of the painting is the main character, Princess Ruu, in her final casual portrait before her coronation following the death of her father, the king. Ruu's melancholy expression is intended to capture the grief for her lost father, the burden of her impending responsibilities, and the pain of knowing that she will be permanently separated from her lover once crowned. <br />
<br />
Eventually, the painting somehow became the subject of an online urban legend. Chang himself caught wind of the legend a few years prior to 2006, when he received an email about it from someone in China (which therefore is where it is most strongly suspected to have originated). During this period, the legend was textually transmitted through online forums. Eventually, even English speakers sent emails to Chang as well, indicating that the legend had spread into the western hemisphere. <br />
Chang recounted this experience in a blog he posted on May 31, 2006. <br />
<br />
Only less than one month later, the urban legend truly exploded. On June 11, 2006, Youtuber '''sonee''' uploaded a video titled "SONEE: Scary Clip". The video and legend reads as follows:<br />
<br />
<br />
''Take a look at this picture..'' <br />
<br />
''The story is this, in Japan shortly before a teenage girl committed suicide, she drew this picture, and posted it online..'' <br />
<br />
''The freaky bit is this, they say it is hard for a person to stare into the girl's eyes for longer than 5 minutes..''<br />
<br />
''There are reports that some people have taken their own lives after doing so..''<br />
<br />
''People say the picture changes..''<br />
<br />
''Can you tell?''<br />
<br />
The video then prompts the viewer to stare at the painting for 5 minutes, accompanied by creepy music. At the end, the video then asks, "Did you see it?", before fading to black.<br />
<br />
This video gave major exposure to the urban legend, which many took to calling "Sonee". The template of Sonee provided the perfect conditions for a jumpscare, an opportunity which many internet users took advantage of. Numerous variations of the above video/legend were soon uploaded to YouTube, with jumpscares included at the end. Examples include "SONEE: (The Real Story)", "[[The True Story of the Melancholic Princess]]", and "[[Scariest Screamer]]".<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
While the urban legend is obviously false, many have still reported seeing the painting warp itself when staring at it. Many people, especially fellow artists, have offered several explanations for this.<br />
Most of the painting is blurry, except for the eyes, which pronounces Ruu's piercing gaze. Additionally, the art style is a blend between anime and real-life, causing an Uncanny Valley effect. And due to the rest of the painting besides the eyes being blurry, the viewer's brain may "automatically" adjust the image to slight degrees on its own, making the image seem as if it has moved or warped.<br />

''Scary pop up that will make you SCREAM...... ''is a [[screamer]] video uploaded by jvccruz16 on October 24th, 2010.<br />
<br />
A black screen with a white text stating: "''Look at this video and you will never sleep again....''" shows up. It then fades away, and shows a slideshow of funny pictures. Throughout the video, Kevin MacLeod's "The Dread" is heard.<br />
<br />
The first picture is the Limecat Meme. The second picture, is a small kitten,''' '''raising it's paws in front of a person holding a gun. The third picture, is a photoshopped picture, of a man squeezing his eyeballs all the way down his face, the fourth picture is a picture of '''two fat '''women in bikinis eating McDonald's fries out of a bag. <br />
<br />
The women are putting the food into each other's mouths. The fifth picture is a tiger chasing a chicken. The sixth picture is an edited picture of the former American president George Bush, looking like a monkey with a cloud bubble with a banana on it, symbolizing him thinking of bananas, thus looking like a monkey. The seventh picture is a chipmunk surrounded by pigeons, eating a nut. After a couple of images, a still image of the screamer from the [[Scary Demon Face]] video appears, while a loud scream plays. <br />

''Scariest Screamer'' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to [[YouTube]] by a user timbertine on July 27, 2008.<br />
<br />
The video begins with a text that states: "If you look into the eyes of this painting long enough, She will shapeshift into a scary beast," and then it transitions to a painting of [[The Melancholic Princess]]. After a while, a picture of Michael Jackson appears with a loud scream, the screamer returns to the Melancholic Princess for 2 seconds, and the video concludes with the text: "Guess they were right."<br />

'''The True Story of the Melancholic Princess''' is a screamer video uploaded on May 22nd, 2010 by user rawgraffics.<br />
<br />
The video claims that, just before a Japanese girl committed suicide, she made a portrait of herself. This so-called portrait, [[The Melancholic Princess|The ''Melancholic Princess'']], then appears. It then claims that people can't stop looking into the girl's eyes, and that the image is cursed with her negative emotions, preventing the viewer from looking away. Throughout all this, ghostly sounds are heard.<br />
<br />
It also claims that the image will change as time passes. It then tells you to simply stare into her eyes, only for a close-up of a zombified baby to appear with strained screams.<br />

The '''''Melancholic Princess''''', also known as '''Princess Ruu''' and more famously known as '''Sonee''', is an art piece created by Robert Chang. Eventually, it took on a life of its own and evolved into an internet urban legend. The legend of ''Sonee'' has served as the basis and setup for numerous internet jumpscares.<br />
<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The ''Melancholic Princess'' was created in February 2002 by Thai artist Robert Chang, also known under the pseudonym "Lunatique". The piece was created as concept art for a sci-fi/fantasy screenplay he had been writing, titled ''Tellurian Sky''. The subject of the painting is the main character, Princess Ruu, in her final casual portrait before her coronation following the death of her father, the king. Ruu's melancholy expression is intended to capture the grief for her lost father, the burden of her impending responsibilities, and the pain of knowing that she will be permanently separated from her lover once crowned. <br />
<br />
Eventually, the painting somehow became the subject of an online urban legend. Chang himself caught wind of the legend a few years prior to 2006, when he received an email about it from someone in China (which therefore is where it is most strongly suspected to have originated). During this period, the legend was textually transmitted through online forums. Eventually, even English speakers sent emails to Chang as well, indicating that the legend had spread into the western hemisphere. <br />
Chang recounted this experience in a blog he posted on May 31, 2006. <br />
<br />
Only less than one month later, the urban legend truly exploded. On June 11, 2006, Youtuber '''sonee''' uploaded a video titled "SONEE: Scary Clip". The video and legend reads as follows:<br />
<br />
<br />
''Take a look at this picture..'' <br />
<br />
''The story is this, in Japan shortly before a teenage girl committed suicide, she drew this picture, and posted it online..'' <br />
<br />
''The freaky bit is this, they say it is hard for a person to stare into the girl's eyes for longer than 5 minutes..''<br />
<br />
''There are reports that some people have taken their own lives after doing so..''<br />
<br />
''People say the picture changes..''<br />
<br />
''Can you tell?''<br />
<br />
The video then prompts the viewer to stare at the painting for 5 minutes, accompanied by creepy music. At the end, the video then asks, "Did you see it?", before fading to black.<br />
<br />
This video gave major exposure to the urban legend, which many took to calling "Sonee". The template of Sonee provided the perfect conditions for a jumpscare, an opportunity which many internet users took advantage of. Numerous variations of the above video/legend were soon uploaded to YouTube, with jumpscares included at the end. Examples include "SONEE: (The Real Story)", "[[The True Story of the Melancholic Princess]]", and "[[Scariest Screamer]]".<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
While the urban legend is obviously false, many have still reported seeing the painting warp itself when staring at it. Many people, especially fellow artists, have offered several explanations for this.<br />
Most of the painting is blurry, except for the eyes, which pronounces Ruu's piercing gaze. Additionally, the art style is a blend between anime and real-life, causing an Uncanny Valley effect. And due to the rest of the painting besides the eyes being blurry, the viewer's brain may "automatically" adjust the image to slight degrees on its own, making the image seem as if it has moved or warped.<br />

The piece was created as concept art for a sci-fi/fantasy screenplay he had been writing, titled ''Tellurian Sky''. The subject of the painting is the main character, Princess Ruu, in her final casual portrait before her coronation following the death of her father, the king. Ruu's melancholy expression is intended to capture the grief for her lost father, the burden of her impending responsibilities, and the pain of knowing that she will be permanently separated from her lover once crowned. <br />
<br />
Eventually, the painting somehow became the subject of an online urban legend. Chang himself caught wind of the legend a few years prior to 2006, when he received an email about it from someone in China (which therefore is where it is most strongly suspected to have originated). During this period, the legend was textually transmitted through online forums. Eventually, even English speakers sent emails to Chang as well, indicating that the legend had spread into the western hemisphere. <br />
Chang recounted this experience in a blog he posted on May 31, 2006. <br />
<br />
Only less than one month later, the urban legend truly exploded. On June 11, 2006, Youtuber '''sonee''' uploaded a video titled "SONEE: Scary Clip". The video and legend reads as follows:<br />
<br />
<br />
''Take a look at this picture..'' <br />
<br />
''The story is this, in Japan shortly before a teenage girl committed suicide, she drew this picture, and posted it online..'' <br />
<br />
''The freaky bit is this, they say it is hard for a person to stare into the girl's eyes for longer than 5 minutes..''<br />
<br />
''There are reports that some people have taken their own lives after doing so..''<br />
<br />
''People say the picture changes..''<br />
<br />
''Can you tell?''<br />
<br />
The video then prompts the viewer to stare at the painting for 5 minutes, accompanied by creepy music. At the end, the video then asks, "Did you see it?", before fading to black.<br />
<br />
This video gave major exposure to the urban legend, which many took to calling "Sonee". The template of Sonee provided the perfect conditions for a jumpscare, an opportunity which many internet users took advantage of. Numerous variations of the above video/legend were soon uploaded to YouTube, with jumpscares included at the end. Examples include "SONEE: (The Real Story)", "[[The True Story of the Melancholic Princess]]", and "[[Scariest Screamer]]".<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
While the urban legend is obviously false, many have still reported seeing the painting warp itself when staring at it. Many people, especially fellow artists, have offered several explanations for this.<br />
Most of the painting is blurry, except for the eyes, which pronounces Ruu's piercing gaze. Additionally, the art style is a blend between anime and real-life, causing an Uncanny Valley effect. And due to the rest of the painting besides the eyes being blurry, the viewer's brain may "automatically" adjust the image to slight degrees on its own, making the image seem as if it has moved or warped.<br />

During this period, the legend was textually transmitted through online forums. Eventually, even English speakers sent emails to Chang as well, indicating that the legend had spread into the western hemisphere. <br />
Chang recounted this experience in a blog he posted on May 31, 2006. <br />
<br />
Only less than one month later, the urban legend truly exploded. On June 11, 2006, Youtuber '''sonee''' uploaded a video titled "SONEE: Scary Clip". The video and legend reads as follows:<br />
<br />
<br />
''Take a look at this picture..'' <br />
<br />
''The story is this, in Japan shortly before a teenage girl committed suicide, she drew this picture, and posted it online..'' <br />
<br />
''The freaky bit is this, they say it is hard for a person to stare into the girl's eyes for longer than 5 minutes..''<br />
<br />
''There are reports that some people have taken their own lives after doing so..''<br />
<br />
''People say the picture changes..''<br />
<br />
''Can you tell?''<br />
<br />
The video then prompts the viewer to stare at the painting for 5 minutes, accompanied by creepy music. At the end, the video then asks, "Did you see it?", before fading to black.<br />
<br />
This video gave major exposure to the urban legend, which many took to calling "Sonee". The template of Sonee provided the perfect conditions for a jumpscare, an opportunity which many internet users took advantage of. Numerous variations of the above video/legend were soon uploaded to YouTube, with jumpscares included at the end. Examples include "SONEE: (The Real Story)", "The Ture Story of the Melancholic Princess", and "[[Scariest Screamer]]".<br />

The ''Melancholic Princess'', also known as Princess Ruu and more famously known as '''Sonee''', is an art piece created by Robert Chang. Eventually, it took on a life of its own and evolved into an internet urban legend. The legend of ''Sonee'' has served as the basis and setup for numerous internet jumpscares.<br />
<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The ''Melancholic Princess'' was created in February 2002 by Thai artist Robert Chang, also known under the pseudonym "Lunatique". The piece was created as concept art for a sci-fi/fantasy screenplay he had been writing, titled ''Tellurian Sky''. The subject of the painting is the main character, Princess Ruu, in her final casual portrait before her coronation following the death of her father, the king. Ruu's melancholy expression is intended to capture the grief for her lost father, the burden of her impending responsibilities, and the pain of knowing that she will be permanently separated from her lover once crowned. <br />
<br />
Eventually, the painting somehow became the subject of an online urban legend. Chang himself caught wind of the legend a few years prior to 2006, when he received an email about it from someone in China (which therefore is where it is most strongly suspected to have originated).
