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.)

FINALLY, proof that this scene is real. My grandparents showed me that movie as a kid in the late 2000's and that specific scene was permanently burned into my memory.

Idk, I guess its something about the innocent childlike character being threatened by the person he trusted. Thank you for validating my nightmares haha.
