Foxy jumpscare sound effect from Five Nights at Freddy's, featuring the animatronic fox's loud scream used for horror edits, pranks and reaction videos.

This is Foxy's jumpscare scream from Five Nights at Freddy's, the moment the animatronic fox charges into view with a piercing, distorted shriek. The sound is harsh and sudden, mixing a metallic screech with a guttural roar that cuts through silence without any build up. Because Foxy is known for sprinting down the hallway instead of creeping, his scare feels faster and more frantic than the others. Played at full volume it startles instantly, creating panic and nervous laughter, which is why the clip works so well when an edit needs a genuine shock in just a few seconds.

Foxy first appeared in Five Nights at Freddy's, the 2014 indie horror game by Scott Cawthon set in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Unlike the other animatronics, he hid behind a curtain in Pirate Cove and rushed the player, making his scare a fan favourite. Clips of the FNAF jumpscare scream spread through gameplay videos, reaction compilations and meme edits on YouTube and later TikTok. Foxy remained a recurring character across sequels and spin offs, and his sudden scream is still recognised instantly by horror game fans today.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop Foxy's scream on the exact frame he appears, not a beat before, and let two seconds of near silence lead into it. Keep the volume spike intact, avoid looping it, and do not layer music underneath or the metallic screech loses its impact.
