This clip comes from the FNaS 2 Remake, a remake of the second game in the Five Nights at Sonic's series, which reimagines Sonic characters as haunted animatronics in the style of Five Nights at Freddy's. The scream belongs to Withered Golden Sonic, a damaged golden version of the character, and is one of several screamer sounds used for different jumpscares. Fans shared the screams on soundboards and in gameplay videos, where they became shorthand for the remake's jumpscares. It remains in use because the scream is recognisable to FNaS players and carries the game's atmosphere into edits and memes.
