The clip comes from Five Nights with Eazil's 3, a fan-made horror game in the style of Five Nights at Freddy's, where jumpscares punish the player for failing to survive the night. Like many fan-game sounds, it was lifted from gameplay and shared on soundboards and in short videos, where it became a handy shortcut for creators who wanted a recognisable FNAF jumpscare scream without recording the game themselves. It remains popular because the sound instantly signals danger and a failed run to FNAF fans, even in edits that have nothing to do with the original game.
