Screamer videos often use various techniques to startle and scare their viewers. Misdirection is a common technique that involves distracting the viewer with an innocuous or normal image or sound before suddenly introducing a frightening element. For example, a cute kitten may suddenly turn into a terrifying image with a loud scream. They also build tension and anticipation in the viewer by delaying the payoff or scare. For instance, a warning about a scary image or sound may be given, then the video shows normal footage for several seconds before suddenly introducing the scary element. | Screamer videos often use various techniques to startle and scare their viewers.

The "stare at the dot" screamer video type uses the technique of "peripheral vision distraction" to startle viewers. Typically, the video begins with a warning that it is not a screamer, followed by instructions to focus on a small dot in the center of the screen without looking away. The dot may change in size, color, or position, creating a hypnotic effect, and distracting the viewer's peripheral vision with images or sounds. Suddenly, a terrifying image or loud scream appears, catching the viewer off guard. | The "stare at the dot" screamer video type uses the technique of "peripheral vision distraction" to startle viewers.

The '''What's Wrong With This Picture''' screamer is a type of screamer that invites the viewer to find something wrong with a picture, typically a normal stock image. This type of screamer plays on the viewer's attention to detail and their curiosity to identify what is out of place in the image. This task is designed to make the viewer focus closely on the image and search for a hidden detail or error. After a short period of time, the image would eventually cut into a screamer. | The '''What's Wrong With This Picture''' screamer is a type of screamer that invites the viewer to find something wrong with a picture, typically a normal stock image.
