The '''Screamer Wiki''' had the original purpose to let users check if a website was a screamer or not by searching the name of the website on the wiki, hence the former name ''ScreamerChecker''. Since then, the wiki slowly started to open up and expand to more types of screamers. The wiki now has pages about shock sites, games, videos, and many more.
