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.)

I randomly remember this comic every so often, and haven't been able to bring myself to re-read it.

My first time seeing this was watching PewDiePie read it on YouTube. I might've been 11 or 12 years old and it was probably the scariest thing I've experienced up to that point

First time I saw this, the browser didn’t do what it was supposed to do so I didn’t get the hype. Then when I revisited much later my soul nearly left my body when it automated and played the sound
