{{NSFW}}A '''shock site''' is a form of [[screamer]] that uses disturbing imagery, commonly pornography, gore, and graphic content, to shock the viewer(s).

Some good example of shock sites are [[2 Girls 1 Cup]], [[Jarsquatter]], [[1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick]] and [[Goatse]]. These websites have gained a high level of popularity and are often used as a way to prank people.
