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
There are also some Miscellaneous videos such as people reacting to screamers or spoofing them, the layout of the homepage is similar to an old 2007 YouTube, the homepage's layout contained blue-colored header, thumbnails, and some other sections that lead the user to any type of screamers such as animations, games and scary images, There is a forum page to supplement the website.
Additionally, some of the screamers are not created by Jeremy himself, the people who created 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 2003.[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.
The website receives its first, and massive spike in the first month of 2006 from Philippines and United States.
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 everytime there was a screamer uploaded, depending on how famous it was and how many reaction videos there ever was. The website was also very controversial, considering that it had many scary games and videos, but overall, it had a very good reputation, and it can be considered the father of all screamers, it was announced on his website in April 2007.[3]
Popularity
The website was featured in America's Funniest Home Videos, E! The Soup, VH1 Web Junk, and MSNBC's Countdown.
