Five Nights at Freddy's 3 was released in 2015 as the third entry in Scott Cawthon's horror series, set in a haunted attraction based on the old Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The starting night cue became a familiar shorthand among fans who record playthroughs, make fan games and edit horror clips, often paired with the FNAF Jumpscare Scream for a full sequence. Its short length and instant recognition helped it spread across soundboards and video edits, where a few seconds are enough for viewers to understand a night of survival is about to begin.
