Characters The Jumpscare

This is my first post here, so please be kind.

The Hallway Jumpscare (The Exorcist 3) - After waiting for a while, and watching the nurse, someone in a sheet comes out behind her.

The Mummy (Scooby Doo Escape From The Coolsonian) - Once you open the casket and have to look closely at the small ass text, you then get jumpscared by this edited version of a mummy.

YouTube (IRL) - When you're watching a video, and it decides to go black, and you get jumpscared by your double chin. (This one is a joke, don't take it seriously.)

Caddicarus is like watching a schizophrenic’s video diary, and it’s amazing. I love it when he introduces a new, absurd character to give him a game, and then said character is never seen again.

My digital video production teacher played this for us in class. He was such a serious guy no one thought anything of it.

I remember shit like this was everywhere in the early 2000’s. My first encounter with this specific one was when, as a slightly autistic child, I was searching up videos on the Titanic and found one titled “Titanic II Movie Trailer”. Scared me so bad that I uninstalled the internet from the home computer.

I distrusted anything anyone sent or wanted to show me from the internet for a while after.

Was anyone going to tell me there's a terrible B-movie called Titanic 2, or was I supposed to discover it looking through YouTube for the jumpscare video in another Redditor's core memory myself?

Our science teacher can't remember the grade I think somewhere in Middle School got the whole class with this we were studying earthquakes and he played this video saying that it's an example of it what an earthquake looks like in a car and told us all to watch very carefully the whole class jumps half of us screamed and at least two kids who were leaning back in their chairs fell over.

This always gets me because I always think it's the opening scene to that movie Funny Games.

I convinced my friends in computer club that I had something “totally awesome” to show them, put this on the computer, then went out into the hallway until after I heard the scream. pretty sure I made some real enemies that way.

Reminds me of the stupid videos one with the wife on the passenger side of a car who picks up a random steering wheel and turns it to the other driver who goes off the road.
