The clip circulates online as a fan-made FNaF style jumpscare associated with the character Hedgebro, shared in short form on soundboards where brief scare sounds are collected for instant playback. Five Nights at Freddy's built its horror around animatronics lunging at the player with a loud scream, and fans have copied that formula for their own characters and edits ever since. This version follows the same pattern in just over a second, which is why it travels easily between gaming videos, streams and meme edits that need an immediate scare without any setup.
