Winterrowd.com formerly Bloggits was a well-known website full of screamers made by a man named Jeremy Winterrowd. There are games and videos designed to trick people to get scared, like The Maze, Hit the Dot, Optical Illusions, Swearing Baby, and more.
Background
The front page layout is similar to an old YouTube from 2007, the front page layout has blue headings, thumbnails, and some other sections that make the user scream like "scary" animations, games, and pictures there is a forum page, which complements the website.
Additionally, some of the screamers are not created by Jeremy himself, the people who made them contacted Winterrowd to advertise their game and credited themselves on the end portion of the screamer, however, in March 2020, the website was parked.
History
The website was registered in 2001[1] During these early days, the website was used to host Winterrowd's resume[2] and did not contain any screamers. In 2005, however, Jeremy Winterrowd decided to host The Maze and start a blog on the website; the blog posted both Winterrowd's new screamer creations as well as more personal topics such as Winterrowd crashing his Jeep. This continued until 2010 when Winterrowd removed the personal blog and changed the website into exclusively a screamer website, also known as "Winterrowd Solutions".
On April 1st, 2014, Winterrowd's website was down for maintenance, leading him to announce that his website was crashed due to many people have visited the site (for screamers) for half an hour, it was then backed up a few hours later.
Bloggits
Bloggits was Winterrowd's second website, it was registered on April 13th, which tended to be a platform for his games and animations, it was registered when he lives in Arizona, However, it was then redirected to his original website in November 2006 and removed all of the links that lead to Bloggits.
Winterrowd Prank Contest
Winterrowd also held a contest in that same year called the Winterrowd Prank Contest, where you had to record the reactions of someone and upload them to the website and he would upload them to a channel named prankcontest. The website was getting bigger and bigger every time there was a screamer uploaded, depending on how famous it was and how many reaction videos there ever were. The website was also very controversial, considering that it had many scary games and videos, but overall, it had an outstanding reputation, and it can be considered the father of all screamers, it was announced on its website in April 2007.[3]
Popularity
The website was featured in America's Funniest Home Videos, The Soup, Web Junk 20, and MSNBC's Countdown.
