There was a Commodore 64 version of Friday the 13th that was fairly different from the NES one. Still, the graphics were pretty primitive for the most part, but when Jason caught you, this popped up.
Keep in mind that everything else in the game is pretty much blocks and rectangles. Not only that, but this picture came out of nowhere and was simultaneously accompanied by a rather loud scream sound.
So...it was a screamer before there were screamers.
