William Afton is the central villain of Five Nights at Freddy's, the horror game series created by Scott Cawthon that began in 2014. Also known through forms like the Purple Guy and Springtrap, Afton became a favorite subject for fan edits and lore videos. His scream clip spread through gaming communities alongside the FNAF jumpscare scream, shared on soundboards and in short horror memes. Because the sound is instantly tied to the franchise's animatronic scares, creators still use it to signal danger, panic or a dark twist in a joke.
