Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was released in 2014 by Scott Cawthon and expanded the original game's night-shift horror with new and returning animatronics. Its jumpscares became a defining part of early horror gameplay videos on YouTube, where creators filmed their reactions to the sudden attacks. Clips labelled fnaf 2 scream spread through edits, compilations and soundboards as a reusable scare cue. The sound remains popular because it instantly signals a FNAF jumpscare, even for viewers who have never played the game itself.
