'''[[Jeff the Killer]]''', also called '''Killer Jeff''', is an infamous [[creepypastas|creepypasta]], urban legend, fictional character, and image commonly used in [[Screamer|screamers]]. Jeff the Killer refers to an edited image of a pale, noseless, unknown person with black eyes with white and black pupils, and a long canine-like smile, in a dark room with laundry hanging in the background. The creepypasta surrounding the image suggests that the person in the image is a 13-year-old serial killer named Jeff who sneaks into people's homes and whispers "Go to sleep" before killing them with a knife. A user named Sesseur was the first person to create a story behind the image, but his version does not revolve around the person in the image being a serial killer. Instead, a remix version of the story was made more popular than the original and explains how Jeff psychopathically became a serial killer from his insanity.
'''Jingle Bells Reversed''' was a [[screamer]] [[Flash]] [[animation]] created by Daniel Fowler and was originally found on [[Newgrounds]] in 2004. The original animation was deleted but added to the [[DeviantArt]] [[website]] by the original owner (under the alias: "Fhashstark") with a description claiming that he's the owner of the animation. [[Jeremy Winterrowd]] also featured this screamer on his website: "[[Winterrowd.com]]". A yellow version of this game can be found on Ebaumsworld and was later posted to Y8.com, a popular flash game website.


This image became controversial shortly after it was believed to be of a supposed woman named "Katy Robinson," who had allegedly committed suicide in 2008. This belief originated on [[4chan]] in 2008, but after years of extensive research, it was revealed that the image originated on a Japanese message board website called pya.cc in 2005. This more famous image, in particular, is also an edited version of another earlier version, called White powder (2) (also called JTK 1), which appears to be an edited image of a person with googly, cartoon eyes and a large smile. The former file name of this image was "prettyFACE.jpg" before it was posted onto pya.cc. The more famous version was further edited in Adobe Photoshop to make the mouth stretch out using the liquify tool and the eyes edited to have white and black pupils.
The animation starts with an excerpt from the famous Christmas song [[wikipedia:Jingle Bells|''Jingle Bells'']] playing forward. Following the first extract, the same song was played backward, and a color-inverted [[GIF]] of Daniel Fowler, the author, making a weird face flashes with a high-pitched, hilarious-sounding scream about three-quarters of the way through the excerpt.
