Five Nights at Freddy's, released in 2014, made the jumpscare its signature scare, with animatronic characters lunging at the screen accompanied by a loud scream when the player failed to survive the night. Clips of that moment spread quickly through Let's Play videos and reaction compilations on YouTube, where the sudden noise became shorthand for being caught off guard. Editors still reuse it because audiences instantly recognise the sound from the game, even outside horror content, and it delivers a complete scare in less than two seconds.
