Distributed as an .mp4 or .wmv file, frequently disguised with a generic name to trick users into clicking or downloading it. Historical Context

The video typically begins with a peaceful or misleadingly calm scene—often a static image of a room, a landscape, or a celebrity (sometimes Angelina Jolie, hence the name).

After a few seconds of silence or quiet music, a distorted, frightening face (often a character from a horror movie or a "zombie" edit) suddenly flashes on the screen accompanied by a very loud, piercing scream.
