The sound comes from The Shift: Ielly's Bobhouse in its remastered release, a fan-made horror game that borrows the sudden scare language popularised by Five Nights at Freddy's. Clips using a FNAF jumpscare scream style spread quickly through gaming edits and soundboards because the format is instantly readable even out of context. The remastered version was cleaned up and made louder for modern edits, which helped it travel beyond the game itself into Discord pranks, short horror compilations and reaction videos where a one second scare needs no setup.
