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 [[K-fee commercials]]. 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]]s. They can also be considered screamers since they do surprise the user.[[File:K-fee Car.png|thumb|The '''K-fee Car''' commercial.|233x233px]] | 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 or startle the viewer(s).
