Five Nights at Freddy's, created by Scott Cawthon, became a horror phenomenon after 2014 for its surveillance gameplay and sudden animatronic jumpscares. The fourth game, released in 2015, pushed those scares closer and louder, and its scream became one of the series most shared sounds. Clips spread through YouTube playthroughs, fan games like the Lula variant, and reaction videos, where the noise alone signals danger. It remains popular on soundboards because even without visuals, longtime players instantly recognise the attack and brace for it.
