Five Nights at Freddy's 3, released in 2015 by Scott Cawthon, continued the survival horror series with Springtrap hunting the player through Fazbear's Fright. Its sudden jumpscares, including this harsh FNAF jumpscare scream, became a defining part of the game's tension and were quickly clipped and shared by players. The sound spread through horror playthroughs, reaction videos and meme edits, where its instant shock value made it easy to reuse. It remains popular because it instantly signals danger and surprise, even for viewers who have never played the game.
