The clip is shared as a reversed version of the jumpscare sound from Freddy's 3, drawing on the Five Nights at Freddy's games where sudden animatronic attacks became the series signature scare. The original games spread through Let's Play videos in the mid 2010s, and their screams were quickly lifted into edits, remixes and soundboards separate from gameplay. Reversing this yell gives it a fresh, unfamiliar edge for viewers who already know the normal version, which is why creators still reach for it for quick horror gags online.
