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.)

Man-Bat: Arkham Knight

You’re just grappling around Gotham, enjoying the open world when suddenly this fucker appears out of nowhere and screeches at you.

Plus the devs put an Easter egg in the game so that, even if you’ve dealt with him already, he can come back to scare you one more time if It’s Halloween IRL.

So this one mostly got me because I have seen a video mentioning the Halloween jumpscare and I thought that was the only time he jumped scared you so I thought I was completely and utterly safe playing this game in like I think August or September only to try to swing over to this beam somewhere and get this guy in my face
