The Screamer Wiki, formerly ScreamerChecker, was founded on November 11th 2013 by HLDK with a goal to index all screamers ever made. It has since then grown to over 100 articles, more than 30 active contributors, and 3,000+ visitors every day.

Purpose

The Screamer Wiki, formerly ScreamerChecker, had the original purpose to let people check if a website was a screamer or not by searching the name of the website on the wiki. Since then, the wiki slowly started to open up and expand to more types of screamers. The wiki now has pages about shock sites, games, and many more.
