Loves the Sound of Screaming: Difference between revisions

''That's my lullaby!''|[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}yJGqxf86cZs#t{{=}}46s "My Lullaby"], '''Zira''''s [[Villain Song]] from the ''[[The Lion King]] 2'' }}

* In ''Warhammer40000'', the Chaos Space Marine Night Lords Legion is fond of this. However, the [[Evil Counterpart|Dark]] [[The Fair Folk|Eldar]] of ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' have based their entire society on inflicting and enjoying other people's pain. When launching another terrifying raid on a hapless foe, their favored transports are open-topped skimmers, "the better to hear the screams of our prey as we ride them down, to savour the fear etched on their faces, to taste the tantalising tang of their blood in the air as an appetiser before the feast." Their leader Asdrubael Vect's most famous quote is "Death is my meat, terror my wine."

* In [[RunescapeRuneScape]], the player controls a forgotten warrior whose friends and brother are all slaughtered by a quartet of adventurers (long story). The ghost of Taevas, her brother, comes back to haunt her and to encourage her to exact ruthless vengeance.

** Quite creepy considering that many claim [[RunescapeRuneScape]] is a kids' game.

* Though it doesn't come up within the ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' canon itself, the vocal version of [[SNK Boss|Unlimited!]][[Big Bad|Hazama]]'s/[[Ax Crazy|Yuuki]] [[Troll|Terumi]]'s theme, [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Endless Despair]], states outright that the sound of unbridled screaming and wailing is like wonderful singing in his ears. He isn't particularily keen on what causes the screams, it can be [[Cold-Blooded Torture|pain]], [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|rage]] or [[Despair Event Horizon|sorrow]], just as long as it is derived from misery. Considering what a ''[[Complete Monster|horrible]]'' being Hazama/Terumi is within canon, though, it does not require a great stretch of the listener's imagination to believe that all of this holds true outside of his theme song as well.
