Mangle first appeared in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 in 2014 as a dismantled fox animatronic, and fan projects like FNAF JR's expanded on that character with their own music and scenes. This cue is presented as an unused theme for that version of Mangle, which gives it lost media appeal among fans who collect cut content. Short horror stings like this spread through soundboards and fan edits, often paired with a FNAF Jumpscare Scream for a bigger scare.
