This clip comes from the first demo of Animator's Hell, a fan-made project inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's, and it is labelled as the third jumpscare sound from that demo. Like many fan-game audio files, it spread through reuploads and soundboard sites, where horror creators picked it up for edits outside the original game. Its short length and instantly recognisable scare make it easy to drop into gameplay videos, reaction clips and short-form horror content, which keeps it in circulation long after the demo itself.
