Five Nights at Freddy's, released in 2014 by Scott Cawthon, became a breakout horror hit largely because its jump scares were shared endlessly in Let's Play videos. When a player runs out of power or fails to stop an animatronic, the game flashes the character's face and plays this harsh scream, a moment streamers reacted to on camera and viewers clipped again and again. As the series grew, the original scare stayed recognisable, and creators still reuse it as shorthand for a sudden, funny fright in edits and reaction content.
