Zombie moans have been a staple of survival horror games since the late 1990s, when low, humanlike groans helped players locate undead enemies before seeing them. Short clips like this one, labelled for Resident Evil 2, circulate on soundboards because they are easy to drop into streams, edits and memes without long setup. They are often paired with darker horror effects such as the FNAF Jumpscare Scream for a bigger payoff. The clip remains popular for Halloween content, horror game highlights and quick reaction jokes built around an approaching undead threat.
