Ranking EVERY FNAF JUMPSCARE From Worst To Best 

It's crazy how Golden Freddy opened this list with the worse jumpscare and closed it with the best one

I always thought Springtrap’s jumpscare was meant to be more menacing, I thought they were trying something new, so I always liked it, the cold eyes of the killer staring at you as you know your screwed.

UCN’s problem with it’s jumpscares is that they are just way too over the top. Like sure, it can startle me, but not scare me. It just isn’t that scary seeing terrifying characters just flop all over the place waving their arms like an out-of-control hand-puppet.

now imagine people who are easily scared watching this

Freddy’s Power Outage jumpscare is honestly one of if not the most terrifying jumpscares in my opinion. The power outage is one of my favorite moments in FNAF because of its amazing suspense. Sad it didn’t make it into the movie, but the film pizzeria didn’t have Security Doors so idk how that would work.

I like how he put Golden Freddy in both last and first place for the same reason: they are still images.

FNAF 1 freddy with the power on always startles me. The render’s lighting perfectly blends with the office background and him coming from the back side makes it feel the most real

Freddy's Jumpscare from FNAF 1 (when he enters through the right door) was always by far the best to me, it's creepy as hell and can happen anytime

The whole effect of golden Freddy and not really ever knowing when you were gonna encounter him is what sells him for me. Could get him night 1 or 2 or 3. The crashing the game bit is also effective: plus the fact his sound is different

Nothing tops the FNaF 1 Freddy power-on jumpscare in my opinion. Still gets me to this very day. The power-out one is great too, it's just slightly less menacing since he sorta looks like he's hugging you.

I really like FNAF 1 Freddy bc he has the black endo eyes and his attack is completely unlinked from any action. Bonnie and Chica might catch off guard if you forget to check your lights but most of the time you know exactly when they’re in the room, and Foxy you’ll know 9/10 times when he’s on his way. Freddy will just pop up at any point he feels like after he’s gotten inside and it gets me every time. His power outage jumpscare is also super well done because you’re forced to sit there in the dark anticipating it, but you have no way of knowing when he’s gonna jump. It’s one thing when an animatronic gets you unexpectedly, but it’s another when you know they’re coming and you’re trying to brace yourself in anticipation. The only weakness of it is I don’t find the jumpscare itself nearly as scary as Freddy’s regular attack, but the setup is just THAT good.

The reason UCN and SB+Ruin never scared me was the environment. In UCN there was always so much going on that you weren’t scared by the jumpscares as much as you were angry about dying. Plus SB and Ruin both let you know where the animatronics are so you always know when the jumpscare is coming. Great video.

FNAF 1 Foxy scared me most. Was my first jumpscare. Even though he just hangs at the door & not in your face, the sense of panic you can have when you see him running to the door and don't close it in time makes the jumpscare that much more terrifying & effective to me. Plus seeing him pop in like that with his gaping, toothy mouth and arguably the most soulless glowing green eyes staring at you really scares the crap out of me. I would not want to see FNAF 1 Foxy looking at me like that next to my bed at night lol.

Mapbot probably shocked me the most just because of how unexpected it was, but the best overall jumpscare in my opinion is Funtime Freddy. Like you said, the tension of the mini game really makes it the best for me.

I find it funny how the door closing in FNAF is iconic even though its only really a main feature in the first game (Besides 4, but in that game you can only close them for so long before you doom yourself to die so you gotta open em up anyway)

funtime foxy jumpscare was actually the only jumpscare out of the entire series to make me accidentally break my desk because of how far i jumped

i love how the list started with golden freddy and ended with golden freddy

As an animatronic, you know your jumpscare is bad when a UCN jumpscare is rated better than yours...

I respect you a lot for putting NM Chica first for UCN, both her mechanic and jumpscare deserved so much better than a secret cameo

i like the fnaf1 door freddy jumpscare better than power outage because its the only jumpscare that can attack you when you close the door but a little too late and him covered in shadow makes him look more menacing

Nightmare is my number 1 pick for most of the same reasons you picked Golden Freddy. Never fails to send chills down my spine.

I love how this video manages to get everything ranked in 10 minutes. Its straight to the point and I love it

Least favorite: Nightmare Mangle (UCN) is the jumpscare that should have a lot of movement but is ruined by being a still picture shaking Favorite: Nightmarionne (FNAF 4) the close up to the face with no teeth and lack of colors asides from black and white makes it perfect in my opinion. Feels like it stares at my soul

Fnaf 1 bonnie is nr 1 for me bc during his animation when he has the mouth closed and stares at you is creepy af

you’re the first person to actually agree with me that OG golden freddy is the scariest jumpscare. brilliant setup, brilliant execution - totally catches me off guard. my fav character.

The UCN Jumpscares are either them fucking you, them vibrating hella quick, or just them yapping at you ☠️

fnaf 1 Chica is the scariest for me. the dead look in her eyes makes it seem like she is an inanimate object that was haunted for some reason which is exactly the case

I lowkey think the OG bonnie and chica might be the best, the contrast from playing a very static game with no movement in a very 2d office giving humungous entertainment vibe to a rapidly moving animatronic in ur face screaming like a chimp hit hard

If you notice, the golden freddy fnaf 2 jumpscare is actually animated

I always thought that i was the only one who nearly got scared to death after seeing funtime foxy's jumpscare for the first time. The noise, the atmosphere, the darkness and especially if you're playing SL normally and you get the canon jumpscare after wondering where foxy is just for him to do the most unexpected jumpscare ever. Its genuinely scary since you feel like you're in the shoes of Michael. Funtime foxy has the best jumpscare in fnaf.

Number 130: i hate it because its a still jumpscare Also him: RANKS GOLDEN FREDDY AT #1

No Way u had the effort to rank all of them LOL! maybe next vid u can rank help wanted jumpscares in a seperate video would love to see that!

I can’t get the thought out of my head that Springtrap’s jump scare in UCN is him doing a chicken impression while making chicken noises😭😭 His arms on the sides if you pay attention make him look like he’s “bgawk”ing💀💀😭

130: still image of golden freddy 1: still image of golden freddy

When I played Fnaf 3 for the first time, the Phantom ones scared the hell outta me.

the springtrap jumpscare (left) would look like he would say "What'cha doing?"

#1 for me is hands down FNAF 4 Bonnie at the door. Couldn’t bring myself to finish the game because of it

Mr. Hippoe is the most unconventionally horrifying sitting through that dialogue, lol. Watching this, I really do remember when people would flip out over these jumpscares, lol.

Nightmare plushtrup gotta be the most scariest, the eyes are absolutely horrifying

I find the freddy jumpscare to be terrifying in my opinion, but that just could be the tension that helps it alot.

Fnaf 1 Freddy, Golden Freddy Bonnie & Chica are unparalled. They seem the most aggressive out of all of the Animatronics even springtrap (William) & thats saying something

I personally kinda think that sister location has some of the weakest jumpscares in the series besides UCN. SL definitely has the best story but I never found the popping face plates to be that scary. Out of those though i think ballora is the best one. Overall fnaf 1 and 2 have the best collections, and I personally think that springtrap in 3 is overhated. As many have pointed out, it’s designed to be slower and creepier rather than a quick spook to emphasize that there’s a person in that suit, not a robot.

The scariest for me might be Freddy’s from FNAF 1. Not the Power outage one, but his regular one. The fact that they make his eyes little pinpricks of light is so unsettling, and it’s a nice attention to detail, since that’s how he appears on all the cameras

FNAF SL has always been in a weird spot for me. It has 2 of the best jumpscares in the history of the games (VR not included), while being the most linear and predictable of the entire series. I fancy the FNAF PS style of gameplay and jumpscare audio. It has some fairly low effort jumpscare visuals, but if you are unprepared, it'll make you shit bricks

Great video also i agree with all the ucn jumpscares being towards the bottom, the animations look ridiculous. Still a fun game though

One that sticks out to me is FNAF 2 Golden Freddy, my first time playing it took me a couple attempts to figure out how to deal with him and it would catch me off guard

Who has the worst jumpscare? "golden Freddy" Who has the best jumpscare? "Golden Freddy" Ok

I actually quite like the Springtrap jumpscares

Awesome video!!! Also I subbed :) and I respect your opinion onevery Jumpscare and how scary they are, I got my list of every Jumpscare from 1-Pizzeria Simulator from scariest to least scary in my Opinion and why :) List: 1. Gold Metal of scariest in my Opinion: Freddy (Black out): how he jumps at you from the Darkness can really scare you unless if the 6am clock hits first, his actual jumpscare is probably only a tiny bit less scary if before the game over static 6am hits during the Jumpscare. 2. Silver Metal of scariest in my Opinion: All of the FNAF SL Jumpscares: Most of these Jumpscares really catch you off guard and some even reveal their endo Skeletons, Minirina in my opinion is defenently the scariest out of all of the other SL jumpscares as it jumps at you and shows it's creepy face, if it had the FNAF 4 Jumpscare sound for Specificly Minirina then I would have put Minirina's Jumpscare past Freddy's Black Out Jumpscare. 3. The Bronze metal of scariest in my Opinion: All of the Nightmare's Jumpscare: how most of them appear through the darkness, have that really creepy look, and the intense jumpscare sound defenently shows that FNAF 4 Jumpscare Sounds are a great competitor to the Sister Location Jumpscares. 4. FNAF 1 Freddy's, Bonnie's, and Chica's Jumpscares: they are scary in their own right, plus they get extra points for being the classic Jumpscares. 5. FNAF 2 Mangle: Her Jumpscare is defenently unike compared to most of the other Jumpscares, as her Jumpscare looks more dragon like than fox. 6. The Puppet Jumpscare: His Jumpscare defenently shows how creepy The Puppet looks, tho it looks alot like Withered Foxy's. 7. Phantom BB: probably the Scariest of the FNAF 3 Jumpscares, Phantom BB is defenently the type to scare anyone who is not paying attention. 8. Withered Foxy and Phantom Foxy: How they jump at you through the Darkness is defenently Jumpscare worthy. 9. The rest of the FNAF 2 Jumpscares: They are all scary I their own right, particularly Withered Bonnie and Withered Chica. 10. Phantom Freddy and Phantom Chica: They can spook the player when they are creeped out or off their guard, worthy of number 10 in my opinion. 11. The FNAF 6 Jumpscares: each of the 4 characters that can jumpscare you have 2 jumpscares! And both are creepy in my opinion, yet the sound just sounds like a low pitched pig scream... 12. Phantom Mangle and Phantom Puppet: In my opinion they are the weakest of the Phantom Jumpscares, either just staring at you or annoying you. 13. The OG Foxy Jumpscare: it does have a great build up to the Jumpscare, but when he Jumpscares you he doesn't go into your face like the others, he just stands there? 14. Spring Trap: yeah, even tho he is the only one that can kill you, his jumpscare compared to the Phantoms is just pathetic, just sawing side to side? 15. Golden Freddy (FNAF 1 and 2): In my opinion Golden Freddy has the weakest Jumpscare, in FNAF 1 it's just a picture with a slow low pitched FNAF 1 sound, in FNAF 2 it's a little better with the head getting bigger in the Jumpscare like the head is going to bite you (the bite of 87), but yeah...

Wow this video is doing so well!

Walking in complete darkness and then some freaky ballerina randomly jumpscaring you and opening up her faceplates is so freaking scary that my favorite is easily Ballora.

Funtime Foxy is just so fun, i love his design.

Also, the confusion of golden freddy crashing the game after the jumpscare just makes it even more scary

This is an okay video but I feel like I just kept hearing “not that scary” even closer to the top of the list. It doesn’t feel much like an actual ranking if I’m honest.

Never give up! 😁❤️

so, toy bonnies jumpscares don't get me, but toy bonnie does. He is one of the scariest animatronics to me, and idk why. I think it's his dead eyes

Honestly I love withered Bonnie's jumpscare, a lot of jumpscares are just the animotronic shaking its arms in your face, but withered Bonnie is one of the ones that genuinely look like he's attacking you

FNAF SL Minigame Baby jumpscare is one I can easly remember jumping off my bed and screaming

Love it or hate it but fnaf 3 Springtrap has some of the smoothest animation in a jumpscare. Really makes it feel like theres a calculated serial killer in there. Not scary but i find it endearing especially when Springtrap has the best design in the series

Taking a shot everything he says “ultimate custom night”

Idk why but my personal favorite jump scares are the phantom animatronics. The panic you feel persists even after the jumpscare itself occurs, as the phantoms can’t kill you, they just make your night harder. There’s still a chance you could die even after they get to you

Phantom Freddy is pretty scary because the build up to it is crazy

I love how it started and ended with Golden Freddy. Quite poetic!

After playing fnaf for so long i just stopped getting startled when i play

Top 5 for me 1. Freddy (Fnaf 1) 8:59 2. Chica (Fnaf 1) 8:51 3. The Puppet (Fnaf 2) 7:27 4. Phantom Foxy (Fnaf 3) 6:36 5. Withered Foxy (Fnaf 2) 7:42 Y'all probably don't agree but this is mine

springtrap is literally a human that's why he doesn't chew you up like the others so it makes sense that his jumpscare isn't very scary

This entertainer me you Got a sub

Bro gave me 130 mini heart attacks 💀

The way that Freddy (power outage) at the end of the jumpscare he lookin like the rock💀💀

Golden Freddy was like : im always come back

tbh all jumpscares scare the shit out of me only bc they are so loud, none of the actual animations are scary

Freddy's "fromt he side" jumpscare was always my favorite. He's behind you.

You know what, this is kinda funny to just watch these animatronics shaking

scott cawthon: You have a lot counting to do 😂 Me: oh no 😅

Fnaf doesn't scare me due to the jumpscares you expect them but fnaf 4 you have listened that adds to anxiety of getting attack

Honestly feels like you just ranked the jumpscares based on how scary the animatronic doing them is, but most of these I agree with

Him: the withered golden freddy is just a still frame image Golden freddy: HOW DID I GET 1ST PLACE

Nice top! For me the best is Fnaf 1 Freddy with power, till this day is the one that i'm really afraid of, plus og Freddy with that laugh and the darkness mechanic is one of if not the best animatronic

I just love how the salvages can just Jump out of my computer In pizza sim

Honestly Bonnie in fnaf 1 is so iconic bro

The Jumpscare that caught me off guard the most was Withered/Phantom Foxy. For some god damn reason he always gets me the way he lunges forward like that. I always think I’m going to die irl every time I get Jumpscared by those two. While the setup for both of them are kinda, eh, it’s the execution that really put them in the top 10 scariest.

damn i thought you were a bigger youtuber video's very good

Withered Foxys jumpscare traumatized me as a kid, I still have trauma from it

what I hate about UCN is most jumpscares are just... "gifs of characters having a seizure"

ONCE AGAIN I AM BEING HU-

blud should have included the foxy fnaf 4 closet jumpscare that doesn’t kill you, I still think it should count as a jumpscare if we’re doing Bonnie and chica and all the other fnaf 4 characters door and room jumpscares

I just noticed, Withered Monty does the Famous (or infamous depending how you look at it) Aligator Death Roll

Ik you didn’t count the help wanted ones but I saw a phantom animatronic in the vents on FNAF 3 in vr it jump scared me and almost put me on my ass.

7:44 what song is this it sounds oddly familiar

before watching this i’m assuming fnaf 3 jumpscares are very low, while the sister location jumpscares are very high

I absolutely don't understand what stopped Scott from taking jump scares from the original games instead of creating new "budget versions"

Absolutely right about Golden Freddy being number 1. 1. Cryptic nature 2. Empty black eyeballs 3. Disturbing sound 4. Alternate of known Freddy, yet sinister 5. He called on night 5 6. Results in crash, giving haunted vibes 7. Name was unknown, thanks to Markiplier was called Golden Freddy (yellow or piss coloured bear doesn't sound menacing)

For me, i would put nightmarionne above nightmare. I always thought that nightmarionne being tall, lanky, and twisted up in thr body was way scarier then the other nightmares. I like thier designs fine, and they make a ton of sense, but nightmarionne was always the creepiest to me

the mediocre melodies' jumpscares are downright funny with no sound, same with foxy

My favorite jumpsfare would be fnaf 2 Withered Bonnie as since he lacks a face he can't bite you so he just moves over to you with his only hand infront to grab you while seeing his red dots instead of eyes

Ucn Balora is one of the "scariest" ucn jumpscare But mainly because SL jumpscares are loud as fuck compared to the rest

The Ennard noise existed already

nah the withered golden freddy ucn jumpscare is horrifying i shat myself when i got it

They all can still be scary if you dont expect it

4:42 you can already turn the video off when it can't even feature the newest jumpscare animations for the office
