* [[The Scream]]
 
{{deathtrope}}
Being a death trope, this one's spoiler-heavy.
 
{{examples}}
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Code Geass]]'', Lelouch does this after {{spoiler|Shirley dies}}.
* In ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'', Light fakes one {{spoiler|when L dies}}. Good actor, that one.
* In ''[[Winter Cicada]]'', Kusaka does this when {{spoiler|Akizuki commits suicide}}.
* In ''[[Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran]]'', Meow does this when {{spoiler|her childhood friend turned drug dealer Mei dies.}}
* In ''[[ScryedS-Cry-ed]]'', Ryuho does this twice, once at the beginning after his family is killed and again when {{spoiler|Scheris dies}}. Hikaru Midorikawa is excellent with such scenes.
* In "[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]", Homura does an absolutely heartbreaking one when she is {{spoiler|forced to kill Madoka in one of the previous timelines.}}
 
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* In ''[[Ace Combat the Equestrian War (Fanfic)|Ace Combat: The Equestrian War]]'', Derpy does one after {{spoiler|Carrot Top [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|dies in her arms]]}}.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* Michael Corleone's scream in ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]]'' when {{spoiler|Mary dies}} was supposedly so primal and intense that the audio had to be cut from the movie.
* In Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'', Juliet forgoes her final speech for one of these.
* In the ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Filmfilm)|Lord of the Rings]]'' film, Aragorn lets out one when he finds Merry and Pippin's elven belts on the Orc funeral pyre. {{spoiler|They're not actually dead though, as he later deduces from his [[Scarily Competent Tracker|Ranger tracking skills]].}}
** In [[Real Life]], it was because the actor had just broken his toe on the ork helmet.
** In the Extended Edition, there is a [[Tear Jerker]] of a scene where Eomer lets out a ''howl'' of grief upon {{spoiler|seeing Eowyn apparently dead on the Pellenor fields.}}
** Also, Treebeard's reaction to the destruction of the woods around Isengard.
* Inverted in the ''[[Dune]]'' [[Film of the Book]] (2000 version), where {{spoiler|Rabban}} does this when he realises that ''he'' is about to become the metaphorical ex beloved ally.
* In ''[[A Mighty Heart (Film)|A Mighty Heart]]'' (an adaptation of the memoirs of Mariane Pearl), there is an ''incredibly'' hard to watch scene of Mariane (portrayed by [[Angelina Jolie]]) howling in grief after she learns of her husband's death.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The standard practice when a Klingon dies in ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' is for his/her comrades to hold their eyes open while screaming loudly to the sky to warn those in the afterlife that a great warrior is on his/her way to join them.
* Claudia does a heart breaking one in ''[[Warehouse 13]]'' when she finds Steve's body.
* Heartwrenching one when {{spoiler|Nikki finds ET}} on ''[[Sea Patrol]]''.
