Five Nights at Freddy's 2, released in 2014 as the sequel to Scott Cawthon's indie horror game, made jumpscares its signature mechanic, with animatronics suddenly lunging at the player after nights of tense surveillance. The scream became instantly recognisable through Let's Play videos and reaction clips, where streamers' panicked responses helped it spread far beyond the game's original audience. It remains popular because it is short, unmistakable and instantly signals danger, making it a reliable shorthand for horror in memes, edits and prank videos.

The harsh jumpscare scream from Five Nights at Freddy's 2, heard when an animatronic attacks. Creators use it for horror edits and sudden prank scares.
The clip is a short, piercing scream lasting just over a second, packed with distorted, high-pitched shrieking that sounds like a creature lunging straight at the listener. It opens abruptly with no build-up, hits maximum intensity almost instantly, and cuts off just as suddenly, leaving a jarring silence behind it. In Five Nights at Freddy's 2 it marks the moment a jumpscare lands, so listeners instantly associate it with shock, panic and being caught off guard. Used in a video, it makes viewers flinch, look away or laugh nervously, because the brain reads it as a genuine alarm signal even when the image on screen is clearly a joke.
