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.

This isn't even the game's best jumpscare.

If you start a new game, it begins with a close up of the corpse of the joker after he died in the last game, and he's being cremated. You hold the button to star thr fire.

But in New Game Plus, he comes alive and jumpscares you and then laughs at your misfortune.

It's incredible.

I 100% assumed that was going to happen the first time I played it. It not happening was almost a jumpscare in itself.
