Watch the whole thing. The best part is near the end.

(Warning: I don’t recommend this for people with heart problems)

Is this one of those things where something screams or jumps out at you at the end? If so, mods have taken a pretty dim view of that in the past. And just in case, I ain’t watchin’ it. 🙂

Yep, one o’ those.

Though this one actually has a few non-jump things first.  
The Cradle of Filth backmasking is actually even a little creepy.

Do not do this again, **non-native**.

**Moderator’s Notes:**  
As Beadalin has noted, we don’t like those Jack-in-the-box links. Many of our folks, including me, access the boards from work and we prefer that the vast majority of the content here be office-friendly; Jack-in-the-box links tend not to be so we delete 'em. Plus, we find them down right stupid. I have changed the thread title to reflect this Staff opinion in addition to replacing the URL.

Don’t do this again.
