Happy 11th anniversary, screamer wiki!
Scary Yahoo Prank
This page is about a screamer or shock site, whose original copy has been deleted. |
The Scary Yahoo Prank was an infamous screamer page that disguised itself as a wikipedia:Yahoo!Yahoo! search engine webpage.
Upon clicking the search button, the page would display a set of search results that were always the same, ending with the chilling phrase "You're going to die." The page would then shake violently, and a horrifying scene from the 1981 horror comedy film An American Werewolf in London would suddenly appear, accompanied by the same spine-chilling scream from The Maze. After the screamer, the webpage would reload, leaving the searcher viewer wondering what had just happened. However, the animation was eventually taken down in Scaryforkids.com.
