Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was released in 2014 as the sequel to Scott Cawthon's indie horror hit, expanding the cast of haunted animatronics and the night guard gameplay. Its jumpscares became a defining part of early horror gaming on YouTube, where reaction videos spread clips of the scream far beyond players. The sound is closely related to the broader FNAF Jumpscare Scream used across the series, and it remains a staple for horror edits, soundboards and scare pranks because the series is still widely referenced in meme culture.
