In 2003, [[Kikia]] was uploaded to the website, which was one of the first screamers ever. After [[Kikia]] was uploaded, the website became a little known. Then in 2004, [http://screamer.wikia.com/wiki/The_Maze The Maze] was uploaded, which was popularized by one of the first reaction videos posted on YouTube, which consisted of a dad named Chad who pranked his stepson named Justice, the kid started hitting the monitor in fright after the possessed face of [[Regan MacNeil]] from the 1973's classic horror movie ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exorcist_(film) The Exorcist]'' appears, which today it got over 27+ million views today. [[The Maze]] became a huge success and lots of videos were circulating around the internet of footage of the game and reactions. In 2006, [[Jingle Bells Reversed]] was uploaded, which was also one of the most memorable screamers in the website. In 2007, [[Where's Waldo?|Where's Waldo]] was uploaded to the website.
The website has a similar background to the old YouTube homepage and features a blue heading at the top. Visitors can access games, screamers, and animations from the layout. However, some links, such as the forum and "How to submit" option, have been defunct for some time, despite the website being active. Attempts to access these links now result in an error. Visitors can log in or register using the website's system or log in using their Facebook account. Additionally, the website includes links to Wintterowd's official social media pages on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and others. Thumbnails of games and animations created by Jeremy Wintterowd and other submitters are displayed below and can be clicked on for access. When viewing a screamer page, visitors have the option to view it in full-screen mode or share the screamer with friends. The website also includes a link to its counterpart Bloggits.
==History==
The website was registered in 2001<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200325213240/https://whois.epik.com/winterrowd.com The release date] of the website</ref> During these early days, the website was used to host Winterrowd's resume<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20031216055240/https://www.winterrowd.com/ The 2003 archive] of Winterrowd.com</ref> and did not contain any screamers. In 2005, however, Jeremy Winterrowd decided to host [[The Maze]] and start a blog on the website; the blog posted both Winterrowd's new [[screamer]] creations as well as more personal topics, such as Winterrowd crashing his Jeep. This continued until 2010 when Winterrowd removed the personal blog and changed the website into exclusively a screamer website, also known as "Winterrowd Solutions."


Winterrowd also held a contest in that same year called the ''Winterrowd Prank Contest'', where you had to record the reactions of someone and upload them to the website and he would upload them to a channel named [https://www.youtube.com/user/prankcontest prankcontest]. The website was getting bigger and bigger everytime there was a screamer uploaded, depending on how famous it was and how many reaction videos there ever was. The website was also very controversial, considering that it had many scary games and videos, but overall, it had a very good reputation, and it can be considered the father of all screamers.
On April 1, 2014, Winterrowd's website was down for maintenance, leading him to announce that his website was crashed due to many people having visited the site (for [[screamers]]) for half an hour, it was then backed up a few hours later.
