About this sound

The Charlie Puppet jumpscare scream from Five Nights at Freddy's, a sudden shrill shriek used for horror edits, prank videos and reaction content.

The clip captures the moment Charlie, the Puppet from Five Nights at Freddy's, lunges at the player, unleashing a loud, distorted scream that cuts through the silence with no warning. It starts abruptly, rises into a high, tearing shriek layered with mechanical rattling and a burst of static, then stops just as suddenly, leaving a jarring silence behind. That sharp contrast is what makes it so unsettling, turning a quiet scene into instant panic. Listeners instinctively flinch, making it perfect for startling a viewer who is not expecting a scare.

Pro tip

Drop it on a hard cut right after a few seconds of quiet gameplay or a calm facecam, so the silence makes the scream hit harder. Keep the volume uncompressed and avoid layering music underneath, or the shriek loses its shock and just sounds noisy.

More information

Charlie, also known as the Puppet or Marionette, is a character from the Five Nights at Freddy's horror game series, first appearing in the second game. In gameplay, the Puppet attacks when its music box winds down, and its jumpscare is accompanied by this sudden scream. Clips of that moment circulated through Let's Play videos and horror compilations, then onto soundboards where fans reused it outside the game. It remains popular because the scream is instantly recognisable to FNAF fans and reliably startles anyone hearing it without warning.
