El Mal
El Mal, which translates to "The Evil" in Spanish, is a screamer video that was created in 2004 by Producciónes Ralf, a Latin American pirate DVD producer also known as Fat Records. Originally included as one of the extras in their dedicated extra videos menu, the screamer was commonly found in pirated films that contained children-oriented content compilations. For years, the screamer video remained lost media until a recording by YouTube user wickedviscus was uploaded in 2021, and the DVD rip of the video was later uploaded by user Raúl "Místico" Contreras.
The screamer begins with a text warning that the following images could be scary for certain people, followed by an anonymous man's low-pitched voice explaining that while he was recording a disc, a voice inside him said, "DON'T BE PIRATE!!! DON'T BE PIRATE!!!" The man warns that this could happen to the viewer as well, while the Tubular Bells from The Exorcist plays throughout the video. The screamer then instructs the viewer to look closely as the song fades away and switches to a footage of a messy room from the .GIF screamer Blue.gif. As the screamer tells the viewer to look at the door to see how it closes, the Kuntilanak pops up with an echoing woman scream. The screamer then transitions to a discourse from what appears to be the devil while scenes from various horror movies play, which has no connection to the screamer and is only related to the title.
It is ironic that the screamer video may have been created to discourage viewers from making pirate DVDs when it was produced by a pirate DVD producer and included in pirated films.
