After all the talks about the search of that old Super Mario 64 screamer, I started looking for the two most "important" screamers of my life, being my first one ever and the one that scared me the most, both of which I still remember very well. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find neither of them, and I fear they both got deleted somehow, but I'd like to confirm this fear of mine with possibly your help.
FIRST SCREAMER - Super Smash Bros 4 trailer
I for sure watched this video in 2012, as it was the time period I was fixated on the, then called, Super Smash Bros 4 (now officially called Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U). This video claimed to show a trailer for this game, despite the fact that the game wouldn't be officially unveiled until E3 2013, but I was eager to get as much information as possible, and I was a sucker for leaks back in the days, so I trusted this video and I clicked on it.
It's worth noting that I was already familiar with the concept of screamers, and the video was 3 minutes long so I thought it couldn't possibly be a screamer, however I was wrong and it scared me a lot, to the point that to calm myself I watched all the ASDF videos out at the time. That video also teached me to always stop the video as soon as it started to then check if there was a screamer inside with the preview feature, at least until screamers were the hot thing back then.
Now, back to the video itself, despite lasting 3 minutes, I only watched the first seconds of it as the screamer was at the start (the three minutes thing was a trap basically). It started with the screen all black and the audio was the exact same as the Super Smash Bros Brawl trailer (the sounds of Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu gathering together) and then suddently the screamer of the Exorcist girl appeared and I closed Youtube as fast as I could.
The thumbnail was this image right here:
EDIT: this second screamer was found (but not yet saved elsewhere to my knowledge), you can watch it at this link. We still need your help to find the other one though!
SECOND SCREAMER - Illusioni Ottiche
This one is an Italian screamer (as I'm from Italy) and it was my first one ever. It was shown to me by the son of my parents' friends and the title was something along the lines of "Illusioni Ottiche" (which translates to "optical illusions"), the thumbnail used this image here:
The video was actually quite long for being a screamer, I think it was even around 5 or 10 minutes long, it also actually showed real and cool optical illusions in it, but every now and then it would say through text something along the lines of "at the very end I will show to you the best optical illusion ever" (in Italian of course). The way the video was edited makes me think it used Movie Maker.
Anyway the video ends and it says something like "now I will show to you the best optical illusion, to better understand it just get closer and up the audio" and since I was a naive kid I did just that and got rewarded with a loud screamer. If my memory serves me well, the screamer was the BatBoy from K-fee commercials, and after it there was also an audio file of a mocking laugh.
Last thing I need to mention, I probably watched it around 2009-2011.
At the time, both videos scared me a lot, but now I look back at them fondly and it's a shame they are probably lost to time, unless some of you can help me find them again...
