Golden Freddy is a hidden, golden-furred animatronic from Five Nights at Freddy's, the 2014 indie horror game by Scott Cawthon. His rare jumpscare uses the game's signature scream, and an extended full-length version of that scream has circulated online ever since. YouTube playthroughs from the mid-2010s turned it into a staple of jumpscare compilations and scream edits, and it now survives as a go-to prank sound wherever a sudden, ridiculous scare is needed.
