About this sound

The old jumpscare scream from Five Nights at Candy's, the FNAF fan game, used for sudden scares in horror edits, memes and gaming videos online.

This is the loud, distorted jumpscare burst from the early version of Five Nights at Candy's, triggered when the animatronic Candy catches the player. It hits as a sudden screech layered over a harsh electronic roar, much louder than the quiet office ambience before it. The shock comes from the instant volume jump and the accompanying flashing face on screen. Even without the visuals, the raw scream signals failure, danger and a classic Five Nights style scare, which is why editors lift it as a standalone punch for horror moments and fake-out jokes.

Five Nights at Candy's is a popular fan-made game inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's, first released in 2015 by Emil Macko. Its animatronics use an older jumpscare style that players remember from early builds, before later remasters changed some sounds and visuals. Clips of the scare spread through Let's Play videos and horror compilations, often compared to the original FNAF jumpscare scream from the main series. The short, harsh scream became a reusable effect for fan games, edits and memes that want instant Five Nights nostalgia.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the scream exactly on the frame the character appears and cut all background audio for half a second before it. That silence makes the volume spike land harder, but lower the peak in your editor so it startles without clipping.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Drop it when a character suddenly appears on screen.
  • Use it for fake jumpscares in funny gaming edits.
  • Add it to horror maps right before a chase starts.
  • Play it over a friend's reaction for comedic timing.
