This clip is linked to Alex Basics in Biology and Zoology, the fan-made horror game abbreviated as ABiBaZ, and the soundboard listing dates it to 2019. Its short length made it easy to reuse outside the game, as horror players, editors and meme makers lifted the scare for reaction videos, gameplay highlights and short edits. Because the burst needs no dialogue or setup, it works as a standalone shock in any quiet scene. It remains in use for the same reason it spread: a one-second scare that is instantly recognisable to fans of the game and startling to everyone else.
