Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was released in 2014 by Scott Cawthon as the prequel sequel to the original indie horror hit. Players monitor cameras, vents and a music box while animatronics including Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy move toward the office. Its jumpscare scream became one of the most copied horror sounds from the series, spreading through Let's Play videos, fan games and meme edits. The short, piercing hit remains popular because it instantly signals a classic FNAF scare even without any visuals.
