A Screamer Prank (usually referred to as a "Screamer") is a type of Jump Scare that's combined with a Surprisingly Creepy Moment or Disguised Horror Story. Originating on the Internet, it pretends at first to be a game, a test, a still image, a video that is not meant to be scary, etc. (more often than not, you will be instructed to look very closely at the image or turn your volume up). Then a scary image (usually a Nightmare Face) pops up with either a scream or a Scare Chord, which is when you realize — after you've pried yourself off the ceiling, of course — that you've been pranked. While the shrill female screams are more common, loud male screams are not by any means unheard of. All screamers are supposed to startle the viewer, for as a Jump Scare, they may give a viewer a brief sense of being attacked by what's more harshly going "Boo!" as though The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You, though some take it further with the Nightmare Fuel and others are so comical or ineptly done that they end up being Nightmare Retardant. These are known for utilizing Schmuck Bait to a shameless degree and one of the many reasons why one should be wary of clicking on certain links on the internet. Also see Shock Site (horrifying imagery without the Jump Scare) and Last Note Nightmare, the latter being when a song has a creepy ending. Please refrain from adding Video Examples to this trope. |

One Treehouse of Horror segment of the episode "Tree House of Horror II" has it where the heart warming moment contains a Screamer Prank at the end which overlaps with a Jump Scare and a Surprisingly Creepy Moment. note And not just any Screamer Prank, it was obviously Bart waking up screaming at the camera and the zoom in. Well, have fun having nightmares about Bart screaming in your face after watching the episode with a Screamer Prank in it... | |

In a Rabbids Invasion video called "Find The Rabbid," the viewer is asked to find the Rabbid, but there is no Rabbid... just a peaceful pond. A few seconds later, a Rabbid jumps out and screams, and then three Rabbids laugh, indicating that it was a Screamer Prank made up by the Rabbids. | |

This was done for one particularly infamous ad for Saul of the Mole Men which, itself, was known for mood-whiplashing gore in an otherwise Sid & Marty Kroft-style show. A later example is the campaign for season 2 of The Heart, She Holler. They got longer, louder, and more frequent throughout the summer. |

The Bongcheon-Dong Ghost is a Korean webcomic which depicts a young woman's encounter with the titular entity; it's most infamous for a Jump Scare wherein the page hijacks your scroll bar to create the illusion of movement in order to show you the ghost's horribly scarred face (alongside a weird clicking sound). (It won't work properly if you have NoScript active on your browser, though.) | |

A straighter example of this occurs in the second game after a game over. Rarely, instead of being taken to the front menu, the player gets to enjoy a few seconds inside an 8-bit minigame where they can wander around. While they are kind of interesting in that some of them portray a little bit of background of the game's setting, they have a tendency to suddenly end with one of the animatronics from the actual game lunging out of the screen. | |

The Epic Battle Fantasy series has the aptly-titled Screamer, a dark-elemental spell which flashes a photo-negative image alongside a loud scream. Whilst it doesn't deal much damage, it does provide a useful debuff (debuffing Magic Defense in EBF1-4, and debuffing Attack in EBF5). The fifth game also has a special comment for Screamer's use from all five playable characters: |

Mortal Kombat 9 has the Krypt Monster, a little fucker that can pop up every now and then when the player is in the Krypt. Speaking of MK, one of Kabal's fatalities counts as this: he tears his mask off, revealing a Nightmare Face and screams at his opponent, which scares them so badly that their spirits exit their bodies & run away! |

An ad for horror film The Nun drew ire for not only utilizing this trope in an ad played before YouTube videos, but also for imitating an iOS volume bar being lowered on the screen before showing the movie's monster appearing suddenly with a loud scream. This resulted in some people getting panic attacks or dropping and potentially breaking their phones. The backlash resulted in the ad getting taken down after attention was brought to it, and the site took action against the ad for violating its shocking content policy for ads. This ad would often play when someone was trying to watch completely innocuous videos unrelated to horror or the film. | |

Parodied several times in The Amazing World of Gumball: "The Internet" centered on Gumball watching what is implied to be the K-Fee car commercial and his reaction becoming an Instant Web Hit. Carrie the ghost makes one in-universe in an online short that was later included in the episode "The Tape": she claims the video will let you see in 3D without glasses and instructs you to get closer, then makes a creepy face while yelling and laughs afterward. Part of Anton's Death Montage in "The Recipe" includes a Hollywood Heart Attack in reaction to something on a computer desktop that involves sudden screaming. When Anais tries to get Gumball to take her to a scary movie in "The Spoiler", he inexplicably pulls a Screamer Prank on both Anais and the audience by making the screen cut to a piranha on a black background. Cut back to Anais white with shock and Gumball wearing a smug grin. |

The Courage the Cowardly Dog episode "Courage in the Big Stinkin' City" fits this trope. He walks into an old abandoned building and starts opening doors, seeing things like King Ghidorah (from Godzilla) and Jaws. He finally opens up the third door and sees a realistic girl playing a violin from behind which Courage likes at first, but the girl turns around and scares him with a giant red CGI face and a scream. It was once the page image for Nightmare Fuel Western Animation. | |

A fairly popular web browser game nowadays is Agar.io, and considering the tens of thousands of people that can be on a server at one time, it's pretty brilliantly cruel that someone would make a screamer based about it. If you try to type in "agor.io" instead of "agar.io", you'll be greeted by none other than Jeff the Killer, whose face will be flashing repeatedly between regular and negative (epilepsy warning, of course) while an extremely loud droning scream is heard in the background. | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus could have had something like this. An idea was floated to create an episode where the master volume was slowly decreased throughout the broadcast, leading to viewers turning up the volume, perhaps multiple times, and then make an exceedingly-loud noise at the very end, perhaps even enough to blow up television sets. This was dropped when they figured that even their surprisingly lenient bosses at the BBC would probably cancel the show if they went through with it. | |

Doki Doki Literature Club! uses this at the end of the first act with Sayori hanging herself suddenly appearing on the screen with a Scare Chord. Another one happens near the end of the game if the game detects you're recording/streaming, with Monika taking notice and greeting the viewers, before she offers to show them a trick. The camera then slowly zooms into her face, before she says she's just messing with the player. Seconds later, in the middle of talking, the camera rapidly zooms into her face, which becomes distorted and now sports a Slasher Smile, with a loud static noise. Monika then quickly lampshades this, asking the audience "Did I scare you?" |

M.U.G.E.N has a few characters that do this. Giygas, a boss character, randomly after being either defeated or winning a round, will randomly show a video clip in which, for example, the creator of this character (The_None), appears wearing a Jeff the Killer mask, admitting that the character is not scary, before a disfigured woman pops out of a book he opens with a loud scream. Dark Donald, a cheap character, is capable of doing this before a round starts, in which he randomly gets replaced with another character for a moment, before a scary picture (Usually Pennywise) pops up with a loud scream, and after this, Dark Donald appears normally. F-Sanae, a VERY, VERY cheap character has a move in which the screen darkens and turns to static, before the static shatters, revealing the eyeless face from What's Wrong With This Picture, but red with a loud roar. |

In the Mario fangame Psycho Waluigi, in Static Void Kingdom, the whole level is surreal compared to the rest of the game, and there's one part of the level where the face from "What's Wrong with this Picture?" pops up for a second but with no scream. | |

With The Last Exorcism coming to DVD and Blu-ray on December 27, 2010, a Christmas themed screamer was made to promote it with a woman wearing a Santa dress taking off her coat and gloves and stepping off the screen before coming back as a screaming scary woman. | |

Upgrade Complete 2 offers one through the Heartrate upgrade. Upgrade Complete 3 has a three-level Heartrate upgrade. First level is a cartoonish, Stylistic Suck little bedsheet ghost that pops up immediately, second level is a slightly scarier one that still lacks the surprise element, and third level is of high quality and delivers the actual scare far later and very suddenly, often during the actual gameplay. | |

The Creeper from the Doom Game Mod The Ghoul's Forest 3 and Ghouls vs. Humans has this as its attack - it's usually almost invisible and creeping across the ground, and attacks by suddenly jumping up in front of its victim's face with a scream, killing them. The Ghoul's Forest 3 and some custom versions of Ghouls Vs. Humans also have Yurei, a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl who has the ability to subject the player to a screamer prank, as a disturbing photo suddenly fills the screen. In the latter games, it's possible for players to turn off the screamers so that they can participate in matches without the fear of being suddenly subject to dead babies out of nowhere. Many of the infamous "Terry" wads lead the player into a trap room where they are endlessly bombarded with ear damagingly loud screams or other noises, walls of Nightmare Faces, and Epileptic Flashing Lights. |

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has an enemy that does this, but you have to deliberately find it during the train ride (after killing the boss in a timed sequence, that is) by sitting on a chair in the first passenger carriage. Miriam will start to blink and slowly nod off when the train passes by the lake before being greeted by it. Good thing is that you can kill it, but trying to fight it right away without preparation will get you cursed and killed in short order. | |

As if the Wander over Yonder episode "The Pet" wasn't creepy enough, The Stinger animatic at the end of the episode shows Captain Tim sleeping near Lord Hater's bed. After more than a few seconds, Captain Tim suddenly lunges at the camera, screams, and licks it in his mouth. | |

On June 2nd, 2022 (though most noticed it on June 3rd), the creator of various Garry's Mod addons such as Glue Library updated the addons to include NSFW Screamer Pranks with shock images including the legendary Goatse when the player first pressed the W key. | |

Dick & Dom in da Bungalow essentially made this a game, in the form of Bogies. Dick and Dom (plus occasional guests and celebrities) would go to public places and gradually increase the volume when saying the word "Bogies". Eventually, they'd get so loud that the word would practically have to be screamed, and the camera crew made sure to capture startled reactions of people nearby. | |

Gravity Falls: In "Summerween", Stan repeatedly tries to scare two jaded trick-or-treaters. When he asks them what they find scary, they show him a video of a cute kitten that suddenly jumps to a screaming, monstrous face. An interstitial short about Mabel watching Gravity Falls' public access channel featured a Kitschy Local Commercial for the Mystery Shack, which inexplicably ended with a sudden, brief close-up of Stan's face while he let out a maniacal laugh. |
