| What is said to be the first modern day screamer ever, [[Monkey on Their Backs]], was aired on TV as a PSA on the topic of anti-heroin. Though not deliberately, it can be said to have kickstarted a myriad of videos, gifs and games under the names of 'screamers'.
| |
| | |
| == [[:Category:1980s|1980s]] ==
| |
| After the anti-heroin PSA in the 70s, there was a wave of shock videos being used as PSAs and ads on TV. They typically contained gore and other disturbing imagery, such as [[Dumb Animals (Respect for Animals)|Dumb Animals]] and [[Faroe Islands (WDC)|Faroe Islands]].

| |
| | |
| == [[:Category:1990|1990]] ==
