The image for Jump Scare and Screamer Prank is the same. Since the image is about a Screamer Prank, I'd say replacing Jump Scare's image.

Agreed with at least pulling the pic from Jump Scare. I think we'd need to have a 2-panel, one showing the character pre-trigger, and one showing the trigger and the reaction.

[up] Yeah. The question is, where from? They're pretty much everywhere, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I know of a Friendship Is Magic flash animation on deviantart that's listed as pretty scary... do you think you could get a screencap or two from that?

[up] That comes off as a Screamer Prank too, at least to me. The description for Jump Scare is way, way too close to Screamer Prank for my liking...Jump Scares can be caused by anything, not just a loud noise or image on the screen. It's all about the buildup of tension, the seeming release, and then the out-of-the-blue element that causes the scare.

I'm thinking we need to pull the pic and send this to TRS for a reworking.

[up] Hmm... you're completely right.

I'll go ahead and pull the pic.

[up] Thanks for doing all that. I think I'm gonna shut this down, at least until the TRS thread resolves. Locking up.
