Screamer: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

Most of these screamers use scary images and loud sounds or screams to increase the effect (hence the name ''screamer''). Some examples of screamers are [[The Maze]] by [[Jeremy Winterrowd]], [[Anne.jpg]], [[Ghost Caught on Tape]], [[What's Wrong?]] and the [[K-fee commercials]]. Screamers often have a scary image and a loud scream, per example, [[Regan MacNeil]] from the 1973's classic horror movie ''[[wikipedia:The_Exorcist_(film)|The Exorcist]]''. Horror films or games are not considered screamers since the users already know they will get scared. In some cases they have startling or disgusting images, and these are called [[shock sites]]. They can also be considered screamers since they do surprise the user.

Because of their reputation as clever trolling tools and pranks, screamers have been featured quite recently in works of fiction and also in some well-known cartoons.
