Five Nights at Freddy's is the 2014 indie horror game by Scott Cawthon where players survive nights against haunted animatronics, and its jumpscare scream became one of gaming's most recognisable shock sounds. Clips of the scream, including the classic FNAF Jumpscare Scream, spread through YouTube compilations, reaction videos and meme edits, where creators reuse it as a universal sting for surprise. It endures because the sound is instantly tied to being caught, so even viewers who never played the game feel the jolt.

The male jumpscare scream from Five Nights at Freddy's, a distorted shriek from an animatronic attack. Used in horror edits, prank videos and scare memes.
This is the raw male jumpscare scream heard when an animatronic catches the player in Five Nights at Freddy's. It opens with a sudden metallic screech that tears into a high, ragged human shriek, layered with static and distortion so it feels louder and more violent than a normal scream. The clip runs just over seven seconds, long enough to let the panic peak and then fall away. Dropped over a quiet scene, it jolts the viewer instantly, turning calm footage into a shock moment that lands on pure reflex rather than story.
