What are some scary pop ups I can use to email people?
April 18, 2019 9:00 AM Subscribe
My coworker once sent me an email link and I clicked on it and this big jack in the box poped up and scared the crap outta me.
I want to be able to send something similar. But I'd rather it not be TOO scary. Startling would be nice, but not Nightmare inducing trauma.
I can't find the email he sent me so I may have trashed it. So I can't find what website he may have gotten it from. Maybe it was a video website for all I know.
Any link suggestions where I can send it and the user gets startled?

I think it would be great to email jumpscare GIFs to the coworker who already sent you one!
I also know that some people hate jumpscares with a passion, and you should consider that when choosing other recipients.

Oh, yes, your coworker definitely has it coming. You could even take it up a notch and search for trigger/content warnings for jumpscares.

That rules out Unedited Footage of a Bear.
Pity.

Videos of this ilk are also often called "screamers" in case that aids your quest

Most screamers are designed to be traumatic, though.
I'd recommend Dramatic Chipmunk, which is about due for some nostalgic popularity. Or maybe THX for the Eyes for a slower but still surprising burn.
