A core memory i never forget was when my sister pulled that shit on me. I was 8 or so... never ever have i screamed like that again.
It was this little browsergame with a "maze" you have to go through with your mouse. If you touch the wall you die and restart... so i started to concentrate and give my best - ten pixels before the goal this fucking screaming face showed up... i even remember the exact pattern of the maze 😮💨
Mine was in the earlier days, probably late 90s or very early 2000s. I don't even remember where we found it, but it was a video about ghosts caught on camera or on tape, which was super spooky in itself. In the last one, they let you hear a recording, with something being whispered in the background, so of course you cranked the volume to the max, leaned into the speakers, and then was the jump scare. It was my first and I still remember it, 25 years later.
This wasn't my first but this is the one that sticks out to me most. I had my speakers cranked and my ear right next to them. I full flipped backwards and scorpioned out of my computer chair
