Examples of GIF screamers include [[Blue.gif]], hosted on [[TeKZoned]], where the player is asked to find an error in a cluttered room image before a Kuntilanak unexpectedly appears. Another example is [[happy-halloween.gif]], created by Kris Wilson of the webcomic [[wikipedia:Cyanide & Happiness|Cyanide & Happiness]], in which a realistic face with flashing lights appears after two characters discuss a serial killer who is "impossible to photograph." [[Useful Reminder]] uses this technique to act as an "image" of a note warning viewers about unknown media before suddenly revealing a frightening woman after six seconds. | Examples of GIF screamers include [[Blue.gif]], hosted on [[TeKZoned]], where the player is asked to find an error in a cluttered room image before a Kuntilanak unexpectedly appears.

Interestingly, users have reported that this effect also occurs on the vinyl cover of the album.<ref> | The rapper [[wikipedia:Childish Gambino|Childish Gambino]] paid tribute to internet screamers with the cover of his album Because the Internet.
