“Screamers” were a popular trend in the 2000s for some reason.

This one and the maze game were so prevalent back then

Did you ever see the jump scare manga?
idk if this one does it but I’m sure this was the one.

It was definitely that comic, but it was hosted elswhere with a certain script to make the clicking and stuff happen.

That fucking maze game got me good.
Still salty about that one, Newgrounds set me up good!

My brother was like “you have to wear headphones so you can concentrate”, I can still feel the betrayal

God I fucking hated them with all of my guts as a child, caused me so much anxiety and fear. And then as an adult I’ve had the pleasure of people on the internet (mainly reddit) telling me they were just innocent pranks that nobody actually harbored any hate for or faced any negative consequences from.

Read the top comment before watching the video, so I was fully prepared for what was about to happen…didn’t help and now my cat who was sleeping on me is this annoyed at me:

I haven’t seen it in years, and it was honestly great. Got a good jolt of adrenaline and then laughed my head off.
I may not be quite right in the head.

I’m so traumatized by that video that now, 17 or so years later, I had to carefully scroll your comment in case the picture you posted was the screaming face

After a few seconds of this scenic view of a car driving down the road, a person in a mask or something abruptly appears and screams incredibly loud. I can’t remember if it’s the video or your friends that tell you to look very closely to see if you notice the “thing” to ensure you are properly jump scared.

The car goes out of view for a but and then fails to appear when you’d expect it to which draws your attention just before the face appears. It’s subtle and devious.

Even just reading this description makes me kind of jumpy. That’s how memorable that video was I guess.

In middle school I helped run the media stuff at my summer camp, audio and projector. We thought it would be really funny to show this one night after the talent show. We really cranked up the volume too.
I don’t think we officially got in trouble, but there were a lot of people that got pretty upset with us.

Massive spoilers, you should just have provided the video to bring full context my friend!
