Screamer videos often use various techniques to startle and scare their viewers. Misdirection is a common technique that involves distracting the viewer with an innocuous or normal image or sound before suddenly introducing a frightening element. For example, a cute kitten may suddenly turn into a terrifying image with a loud scream. They also build tension and anticipation in the viewer by delaying the payoff or scare. For instance, a warning about a scary image or sound may be given, then the video shows normal footage for several seconds before suddenly introducing the scary element. | Screamer videos often use various techniques to startle and scare their viewers.

The "stare at the dot" screamer video type uses the technique of "peripheral vision distraction" to startle viewers. Typically, the video begins with a warning that it is not a screamer, followed by instructions to focus on a small dot in the center of the screen without looking away. The dot may change in size, color, or position, creating a hypnotic effect, and distracting the viewer's peripheral vision with images or sounds. Suddenly, a terrifying image or loud scream appears, catching the viewer off guard. | The "stare at the dot" screamer video type uses the technique of "peripheral vision distraction" to startle viewers.

The subliminal message screamer is a type of screamer that typically begins with a message informing the viewer that there is something wrong with the subject being presented and that it contains a subliminal image. Often, this message is accompanied by an innocuous-looking video or image that is intended to draw the viewer in. Then the subliminal message screamer may provide specific hints, such as instructing the viewer to turn up the volume or look closer at the screen. After a brief period of time, the subliminal message is delivered, usually through the surprise of a [[screamer]] image. | |||

Find the "X" is a type of screamer that is similar to the ''Find the Difference'' screamer. The viewer is presented with an image or video and tasked with finding a specific object or element. The subject can be hidden in plain sight or cleverly disguised to make it harder to find. Additional clues or hints may be given to the viewer, such as instructions to find an out-of-place object or to identify what is causing something to be wrong in the image or video. During the search, the screamer may zoom in on the image or provide other visual cues to increase the viewer's focus and attention, which eventually cuts into a screamer. | Find the "X" is a type of screamer that is similar to the ''Find the Difference'' screamer.
