screamer
Tantrum-throwing toddler, perhaps
A screamer is someone or something that screams.
In informal use, it often describes something remarkable or extreme: a screamer of a goal, a screamer of a headache.
In journalism, a screamer is a sensational headline.
Online, a screamer is a video or image designed to lull viewers before startling them with a sudden loud noise and frightening image: I fell for that screamer and nearly had a heart attack.
