'''El Mal''', which translates to "The Evil" in Spanish, is a [[screamer]] [[video]] ~~originally~~ created in 2004 by Producciónes Ralf, a Latin American pirate DVD producer also known as Fat Records.

'''El Mal''', which translates to "The Evil" in Spanish, is a [[screamer]] [[video]] created in 2004 by Producciónes Ralf, a Latin American pirate DVD producer also known as Fat Records.

The screamer was originally included as an extra feature in the dedicated extra videos menu of pirated films containing compilations of children-oriented content. For a considerable period, this screamer video remained elusive, categorized as lost media. However, in 2021, it resurfaced when YouTube user wickedviscus uploaded a recording of it, and later, user Raúl "Místico" Contreras shared the DVD rip of the video.

Upon viewing the screamer, it starts with a text warning, cautioning viewers about potentially frightening images. An anonymous man's low-pitched voice then narrates his experience of hearing the phrase, "DON'T BE PIRATE!!! DON'T BE PIRATE!!!" while recording a disc (somewhat like that). He forewarns that the same might happen to the viewer. The Tubular Bells from The Exorcist ~~accompanies~~ the narrative throughout the video.

As the video progresses, the viewer is prompted to focus on a scene where a messy room, taken from the .[[gif]] screamer [[Blue.gif]], is displayed. The screamer further instructs the viewer to observe how the door closes. Suddenly, the ghostly figure from the original .gif appears on the screen accompanied by an echoing woman's scream.

Subsequently, the screamer transitions into unrelated scenes from various horror movies ~~play~~, offering no direct connection to the screamer or its title.

It is an intriguing part that this screamer video, which seems to discourage viewers from creating pirate DVDs, was actually produced by a pirate DVD producer and included in pirated films en masse.
