'''Original Knife Test Footage''' is a [[shock video]] that was uploaded on [[YouTube]] in December 4th, 2008. The same day [[Jarsquatter]] was uploaded, the clip stars a man named Brian Brushwood, a known magician, speaking about his magic trick where a knife is positioned onto a spinning table, pointed up, then covered with a cup, also covering the other three spots on the table with them. The table is then spun fast enough so that one loses track of the cup that has the knife underneath. Brushwood implies his objective is actually to get the knife, by way of his succeeding in his "psychic selection" of a cup.

After the table stops, Brushwood slams his hand onto a cup, which just so happens to be the one containing the knife. The knife appears to be piercing through his hand, with a certain amount of blood surrounding its exit point. After that, the video cuts to a scene of him looking at the camera with a bandage on the injured hand, saying "ta-da!".

The footage was revealed to be fake, and there is a video of him explaining the trick.

'''Barney Jumpscare''' is a [[screamer]] [[video]] created by [[User:Intel586|Intel586]] and first released on January 26th, 2026. It is an edit of the [[YouTube]] video of the same title, specifically the one uploaded by DuckContribution in 2016, designed to deceive viewers.

The video starts with the narrator asserting that it is a reupload of the aforementioned edited clip, expressing its desire to archive it. This is only rendered suspicious by the video's longer running time. It then shifts to said clip, which begins with a boy slowly turning back and approaching his arm towards a pair of curtains, looking to inspect them. At the twelve-second mark, after Barney suddenly appears from behind the curtains, the same screamer from "[[The Jumpscare Challenge]]" abruptly interrupts the clip, blasting a deafening noise, before the narrator taunts the viewer with large text reading "ROFL!", which disappears quickly before the video ends.

'''Doomsday Bros.avi''' is a [[screamer]] [[video]] created by ''IceCreamJaxxie!'' and uploaded to her [[YouTube]] channel in September 2014.

The video starts with the 2003 version of the ''Warner Bros. Pictures'' logo with mirror and color-inversion effects applied to it, and as well as a demonic tone applied to the music. After 18 seconds in, an edited picture of the mask from the original BИD logo rotates and zooms in with rolling eyes and a rectangular mouth applied with a red tint, accompanied with a loud roar.

==Partial reupload==
In 2016, ''Ivan5479'' did a retake on the effect by adding another mirror effect and adding the TV distortion effect, thus being one of the only pieces of evidence left of this effect.

{{Quote|Title says it all|Lotus in the video's description}}
'''Super Mario 64 big star secret''' is a partially lost [[YouTube]] [[screamer]] video based on the "secret" from ''[[wikipedia:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]]''. The video was first uploaded to YouTube by LotusMan17 on August 15th, 2007, and was then deleted from the channel in late 2012.

Aside from being just a Mario screamer, this is a lost screamer that anyone still searches for, yet even users of the Lost Media Wiki started hunting for the screamer using numerous different methods. A poorly made screamer about unlocking Luigi was enough to provoke a huge amount of search from everyone with information coming in hand recently. The video had amassed around 900,000 views at its peak.<ref name="LMWDiscord">[https://screamer.wiki/images/1/1c/LMWDiscord12.png LMW Discord #1]</ref>

==Content==
Created with [[wikipedia:Windows Movie Maker|Windows Movie Maker 2]],<ref name="LMWDiscord" /> the video was 5 minutes and 12 seconds long shows the process of uncovering the "secret" of the [http://www.mariowiki.com/Courtyard_(Peach%27s_Castle) star statue] in the courtyard. The steps to unlock the secret are displayed on the typical Movie Maker blue background, followed by gameplay showing the steps. One of the instructions involves circling the courtyard statue for a specific duration.<ref group="note">The courtyard statue is referred to by the screamer as the "big star" and the "big star secret" would mean to the urban legend known as L is real 2401.</ref> Subsequently, after instructing the player to kick the Boo, they are directed to press the "A" button on the wall<ref>https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/1191/t1145970-rumors/4.htm</ref> as the concluding step. Just as the player is about to do so, an abrupt appearance of the [[K-fee]] zombie (from the particular "Auto" commercial) interrupts the video. It is rumored that, if looked closely, one may see Lotus leaning against the wall before the actual screamer; however, this rumor remains unproven. The video ends with the credits scrolling down from the top. It was possible that the top of the credits said, "trolled lol", but this is false, as LotusMan confirmed that presumably the top line was “Gotcha”, "Get fucked idiots" or "Get shit on". Originally, the video had three different songs for the gameplay and credits but muted because of copyright issues.

==Background==
[[File:SM64 Poster.png|thumb|The "Have You Seen Me?" poster made by Lost Media Wiki. The hunt started in September 2020 before it ended the next year in the same month. <s>Hopefully, the copy will be found in the future.</s>]]
The [[screamer]] video in question is one of many that originated during the early days of Super Mario 64 and revolved around an urban legend. This particular video purportedly centred on the "L is real 2401" urban legend, which began after it was rumoured that a message on a courtyard plaque contained a code to unlock Luigi, an unplayable character in the game. In addition to using a code to unlock the character, the video showcased other steps to do so. It is worth noting that this urban legend has since been largely debunked.<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/b/bc/LMWDiscord8.png LMW Discord #2]</ref><ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/f/f8/LMWDiscord9.png LMW Discord #3]</ref><ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/f/f8/LMWDiscord9.png LMW Discord #3]</ref>

The video was captured on a flip phone, believed to be a Motorola RAZR V3,<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/f/f3/LMWDiscord6.png LMW Discord #4]</ref> showing a computer screen. The creator used the editor "Toad's Tool 64" to make modifications to the castle, including placing a door on the right wall of the main lobby's staircase and altering Mario's clothing to feature a blue shirt and black overalls.<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/4/41/LMWDiscord7.png LMW Discord #5]</ref> Lotus implemented other changes using the level editor.

To avoid copyright infringement, the video's audio was muted and replaced with 009 Sound System's Dreamscape theme in 2010. The original video featured three pieces of music, such as "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B58OBfM-8A4 Whispers in the Dark]" by [[wikipedia:Skillet|Skillet]] at the start,<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/8/8b/LMWDIscord2.png LMW Discord #7]</ref> and "Those Chosen by the Planet" from ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII]]'' during the second half and credits.<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/4/4a/LMWDiscord5.png LMW Discord #6]</ref><ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/7/77/LMWDiscord3.png LMW Discord #8]</ref> However, witnesses often misidentified the song<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/9/97/LMWDiscord1.png LMW Discord #9]</ref> played at the beginning as "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence. The video may have been removed due to a copyright strike in 2012.<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/c/c9/LMWDiscord11.png LMW Discord #10]</ref> Lotus claimed to have received an email offering to purchase the rights to "Database" by Alexander Pearls for nearly $40, which he ultimately accepted.<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/b/bf/LMWDiscord4.png LMW Discord #11]</ref>

Lotus confirmed that the screamer took place primarily in the courtyard of the castle, rather than the Bob-Omb Battlefield as some had previously claimed. He suggested that Mario entered an "alternate dimension," where the textures, which he created using MS Paint, were glitching out, possibly due to emulator memory issues. Lotus also created two screenshots in September 2020 as a remake, depicting Mario standing in front of the courtyard statue and appearing next to the castle.<ref>https://screamer.wiki/File:Mario_64_Screamer_Remake.png</ref><ref>https://screamer.wiki/File:Mario_64_Screamer_Remake_2.png</ref>

According to Lotus, the screamer portion of the video was extended.

==Availability and concerns==
[[File:SM64 Facebook Page.png|thumb|The screenshot of the Facebook page, featuring the updated description and the thumbnail.]]
On September 8, 2015, a Screamer Wiki user named [[User:SCL|SCL]] (also known as Socoollogos on FANDOM) posted his concern about the screamer on a thread in the Screamer Forum. One user also discovered the screamer as SCL was concerned about. He tried finding the screamer through the [[Wayback Machine]], but only to find that no archives of the video had been made yet. The user also mentioned that an annotation popped up during the video, where Lotus said he would remove the video because he was receiving hate. The reply had a different link to a reaction video, but it was private.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20190822024248/https://screamer.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:4199</ref> However, there are many posts about this screamer besides this thread. A YouTuber Mahlv also uploaded his concerns about the lost Mario 64 screamer to [[YouTube]] in August 2020. Another documentary was then shortly followed at a later date, where he talks about the screamer being hunted by the Lost Media Wiki and other information.

There are no known copies of the video that could possibly be found, which is pretty obvious. Only the updated description and the video's thumbnail could be found in searching at the time. The updated description says, "''The video was done out of complete boredom, and yet people still wish to leave hateful comments. Therefore, commenting has been disabled.''" So, this could be the truth behind why Lotus deleted the video: because of how many death threats and hate comments he had received, rather than saying it was accidental. The thumbnail and updated description are more likely found on its Facebook page, which was created in late 2011.<ref><s>[https://bit.ly/3msR5q6 SM64 screamer Facebook page]</s></ref>

A [[reaction video]] of this screamer was uploaded on February 5, 2008,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPe1hlC7B1Q "Little brother getting scared. Late reaction"]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20210109142815/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPe1hlC7B1Q&gl=US&hl=en Archived] - GReeDYDeVASTATOR808 on [[YouTube]]. Accessed November 3, 2021.</ref> featuring someone's brother reacting to the half part of the [[screamer]]. It's hard to tell because of the low quality, but one can see Mario climbing up the stairs and opening the door before the recorder proceeds to skip almost half of the screamer to the end part, where Lotus instructs the viewer to do the final step. After the screamer, the boy then runs away from the computer. Only what's left on the screen are the credits of the video.

A Portuguese user named Nazz uploaded a five-second video featuring a snapshot of the screamer. The uploader was questioned by a user from Lost Media Wiki about the screamer. He answered that it was found by one of his friends and was supposed to be taken from an old phone. Nazz also recorded his full reaction video to the screamer, but it was never found. The screenshot appears to be Mario jumping into the fountain at the back of the castle, where the courtyard statue is located.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211104072827/https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/q6owst/super_mario_64_big_star_secret_new_image/ "Super Mario 64 Big Star Secret (New Image!)"].

Nezz on [[YouTube]]. (October 10, 2021)</s></ref>

On Tuesday, March 7, 2023, a user on the Screamer Wiki's Discord server named ''pickadeli'' claimed that he found the original video, uploaded by a user named ''the garlic man'' on July 29, 2022, as a recreation. This rumor was eventually debunked.

On May 30th, 2024, a new footage was uncovered by users, mahvl and sindexmon, after contacting a YouTube user, who had a privated reaction to the screamer.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA63mm5FnMo <nowiki>[40S NEW FOOTAGE UPDATE] | "Screamer Prank - FAIL"</nowiki>]</ref>

On May 13th, 2025, footage of the first 47 seconds of the video was uncovered by LMW Discord user Peter, who found it on cache folders on his hard drive.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZo9IkS1k7g <nowiki>[40s OF THE ACTUAL FOOTAGE!!] | "First reupload of Super Mario 64 big star secret"</nowiki>]</ref>
