Five Nights at Freddy's is a 2014 indie horror game created by Scott Cawthon, where animatronic characters stalk the player through a pizzeria at night. Freddy Fazbear is usually slow and stealthy, so hearing him run in the first game is rare and alarming. Clips of the moment spread through Let's Play videos, FNAF fan edits, and soundboards alongside sounds like the FNAF Jumpscare Scream. The running cue remains popular because it instantly signals danger to anyone who knows the game.

Fast footsteps of Freddy Fazbear sprinting down the hall in FNAF 1, heard just before his jumpscare. Used in horror edits and meme videos online.
This is the brief, rapid pattering sound of Freddy Fazbear sprinting down the hall in Five Nights at Freddy's 1. It is only a fraction of a second long, a tight burst of fast footsteps that signals Freddy is on the move and about to reach the office. In game it creates instant panic because players know they have almost no time to react. Out of context the clip works as a sudden rush cue, making a normal moment feel urgent, threatening, and darkly funny at the same time.
