    Don’t remember how it happened but when I was a kid I got this virus on my laptop that would randomly open hundreds of Firefox tabs with this picture of Jeff the killer, with screaming audio at maximum volume and flashing black and white so fast it def would have killed an epileptic. Probably the most scared I’d ever been at that point. It also turned on my webcam light every time it happened, so somewhere on some filthy shut ins hard drive is a video of me at 12 years old throwing my laptop

      Reminds me of that one time someone on some forum linked to a Jeff The Killer screamer site (basically the same thing you’ve described) and I clicked on it.

      It initially didn’t even work, because I was using NoScript at the time… So I disabled NoScript temporarily and refreshed the page. It being about 2 in the morning and the speakers being tuned up didn’t help.
