Screamer: Difference between revisions

The term ''screamer'', also referred to as a ''jumpscare'', is used to describe a game, video, website, or program, that makes the user concentrate on the screen, and then has an unexpected change to scare the viewer(s). Some examples of screamers are [[The Maze]] by [[Jeremy Winterrowd]], [[Anne.jpg]], [[Ghost Caught on Tape]], and the series of [[K-fee advertisements]]. Screamers often have a scary image and a loud scream, per example, [[Regan MacNeil]] from The Exorcist movie. In some cases they have startling or disgusting images, and these are called [[shock site|shock sites]]. They can also be considered screamers since they do surprise the user.[[File:K-fee.png|thumb|A screenshot from the K-fee auto commercial.|233x233px]]

Screamers have caused a new ''trend'' to make surface. People have started to record themselves or someone else's reactions to these websites, and post them on social media and video sharing websites like YouTube. [[Reaction video|Reaction videos]] are widely known across the Internet. [[Category:Animations]]
