A '''~~screamer~~'''~~, also known as a Jumpscare or scary pop-up, is a type of game, video,~~ website~~, or program that aims to scare and startle viewers~~ by ~~tricking them into focusing on~~ the ~~screen before revealing~~ a ~~sudden and often frightening change~~. ~~Most screamers use a combination~~ of ~~creepy or unsettling images~~ and ~~loud, sudden noises~~ to ~~create a sense of shock and fear in the viewer~~. ~~For example~~, a ~~screamer might appear to be a harmless video or~~ game, but then suddenly flash a disturbing image of a face or creature accompanied by a loud scream to achieve their intended effect. Screamers are a common technique used in horror video games to create sudden and intense moments of fright.

'''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.

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.
