Your First Screamer

[NeutralMunchHotel]

I got a sweater for my birthday, would've preferred a screamer... but it was okay I guess.

OT: I honestly little clue to what you guys are talking about. You seem to avoiding the topic, but if you're talking about the videos where they pop out of nowhere and scare the living s*** out of you, than yes I had one where they told me to look at a CCTV tape for ghost. Or the color quiz... that horrible color quiz...

Really? The word 'screamer' seems to send fear to most people on the internet...

Mine was on Scary Maze. A friend told me to turn on my headphones really loud, not suspecting anything I did it. When the face popped up I ripped my headphones off and fell out of my chair screaming.

Oh, god, I hate those stupid things. I've seen a few that were actually done fairly well, but they just annoy the bejeezus out of me.

 

[Alone Disciple]

Er...topic was misleading. I for sure thought you were talking about ex-girlfriends. Bummer.

Wow... you either have nerves of steel, or are deaf... I'd love to say that they don't affect me, but God, they do...

When I was about 12. I don't remember where I found it, but the idea was that if you look very hard you would see a stereoscopic image. There is actually an image, but as soon as you get it in focus... "ARGH!" A dead guy pops and screams for about 2 minutes.

Result: one very shaky cross eyed 12 year old.

It was an executable program called "McDonald's.exe" that my sister's friend sent her over AIM. The fucked up thing was it warned that "It might be hard to hear, so turn up your volume."

You also had to ctrl+alt+del to turn it off. It returned every five minutes.

Well, I am one of those people who has not experienced what you're talking about. I know because I have no idea what you're talking about. I cam onto this thread thinking it was about sex. On that note, that kind of screamer is awesome.

 

[Emperor Inferno]

From reading other posts on this thread, I think I have experienced this before. My mom sent me an e-mail saying 'focus on this picture real hard, and after a minute you'll see something really cool. i expcted something to happen, so I only jumped a little bit when it turned into a gif of a guy screaming, accompanied by really loud sound - of a guy screaming. Didn't shock me that much.

 

[historybuff]

Oh yeah. Don't remember the specifics but I recall it happening.

Ex girlfriend by the name of Dina. Good times.

Mine was that car advert one. I think it claims there's a ghost or something in the ad and as the car rounds the bend it disappears and then you get the screamer.

 

[LitigationJackson]

[Slayer_2]

Was I the only one who though orgasm on here?

Nope, and his first few words only helped to stregthen that idea.

 

[blacklab]

Hmmm...I seem to have missed the point, I was thinking girls.

The beer one with the car in the countryside?

There was a car and a countryside... cant remember the product though... Not a good advert in that sense, makes you remember everything except what they were selling.

It was some beer. The tagline was "you've never been so awake" if I remember rightly. There was also a second one with a guy meditating in a garden.

Mine was on a flash website called liquidgeneration. They had this topic called Sabotage with lots of screamers and other pranks you could send to friends after seeing them yourself. One of their best was a video with Sean Connery talking about his role as James Bond played softly, forcing you to turn the volume up. Then suddenly, the word PORNO flashes in the screen with funny music and several women moaning in ecstacy.

Ahhh, Liquid Generation. So many memories of scaring the pants off myself and anyone I could sucker into watching them with me.

I think my first one was about M.C.Escher. It showed different pics, and was describing them, all soothing like, them, a bloody zombie with a high pitched scream. I thought I was going to stroke out.
