Line 32:
* Used in an episode of ''[[D.Gray-man|D Gray Man]]'' when {{spoiler|Road stabs Allen in the eye with a pointed candle}} and also beforehand, {{spoiler|when he rips his once-stuck arm from the wall.}} [[Fridge Horror]] kicks in when you realize he can't see Akuma without his formerly good eye. The scene cuts all around the room until he pulls the candle out, not allowing you to look at it.
* Used repeatedly in ''[[El-Hazard: The Magnificent World|El Hazard the Magnificent World]]'' as a [[Running Gag]].
* ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'', ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', ''[[Naruto]]'', ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'', ''[[Oruchuban Ebichu]]'', and ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma
* In the twelfth episode of the TV series of ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'', Sayoko gives [[The Scream]] on waking up next to Mara.
* Taken to an extreme in ''[[Pani Poni Dash!|Pani Poni Dash]]'', where Becky Miyamoto screams so loudly that the onomatopoeia splits the ceiling and calls down a [[Pillar of Light]]. Meanwhile, a crowd in Cairo is shown to be alarmed.
Line 63:
* During episode 15 of ''[[Baccano]]'', we are greeted to a flashback of a younger Nice Holystone experimenting with explosive chemicals. The mixture explodes in her face, [[Scars Are Forever|scarring her,]] [[Eye Scream|destroying her eye,]] and making her deliver an ear drum rattling scream, that lasts until the flashback ends.
* In ''[[Tenchi Muyo!|Tenchi Muyo]]'', Z's [[Dissonant Laughter|laughter at his newfound power and victory]] is quickly replaced by one of these when he sees [[Eldritch Abomination|Tok]][[Physical God|im]][[Powers That Be|i]] behind him.
* One of the ''[[Naruto]]'' OVAs has Naruto invoking this trope, complete with [[Art Shift]] into the Edvard Munch painting.
* Otani of ''[[Lovely Complex]]'' does [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7DoEVyvWgs this] after Maity blows in his ear to wake him up during class.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Comedic example]] in ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' when Kyo wakes up and sees that Ayame, who Yuki has kicked out, has snuck into bed with him. Cue [[The Scream]].
* ''[[Black Butler|Black Butler II]]'' episode 10. It begins with Hannah talking to Ciel and saying that she has something to show him. Then her mouth opens unnaturally wide to reveal [[Body Horror|this black abyss where the inside of a human mouth would be]]. The eye she stole from Alois Trancy is rooted in the back of her throat, and since Ciel's soul has been partially fused with Alois's at this point, he's basically staring at himself from inside her. Hannah watches calmly while Ciel suffers a [[Freak-Out|severe nervous breakdown]] and screams before falling unconscious.
* In ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'' Ganta does this understandably as he's being forced to watch the Carnival of Corpses.
* In ''[[Elfen Lied]]'' Kouta does this after he sees his sister get killed in front of him by Lucy.
Line 73:
== Comicbooks ==
* Used to unique effect with the [[Marvel Universe]] character [[The Inhumans|Black Bolt]], whose voice was a sonic weapon; early in his run, his scream could destroy cities. [[Power Creep, Power Seep|As time went on]], it became his ''whisper'' that could destroy cities. The possibility of him screaming made ''gods'' stand at attention!
** [[Deadpool]] played with this in the game ''[[Marvel Ultimate Alliance]]'', by trying to get Black Bolt to say the word spatula, just to see how much destruction it would cause.
** Used in the ''[[World War Hulk]]'' story to show how tough Hulk was. He didn't come to hear Black Bolt whisper. He came to hear him scream.
** In [[Earth X]], he screams his loudest scream yet, but does not use it for purposes of destruction...
Line 106:
*** Made all the more impressive in that Aragorn's actor, Viggo Mortensen, broke his foot kicking the helmet. That scream is genuine.
** In the Extended Edition, Eomer gets a pretty impressive one when he finds {{spoiler|Eowen near death and Theoden dead.}}
* Done often in the ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'' movies usually when someone is being chased by the killer. The opening scene of the first movie ends with one where Casey's mother finds her mutilated body hanging from a noose on a tree.
** Also, the Ghostface mask looks similar to the aforementioned painting, which may be where the film got its name.
* ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'' - after Indy stoically endures getting dragged behind a truck, shot in the shoulder, and generally beaten while retrieving the Ark, he and Marion are ensconced in the captain's quarters of a freight ship. As he achingly examines himself in a floor mirror, she pivots it from the other side, smacking him on the chin. Cut to long shot of ship and pained yell.
Line 124:
** Also in season two, a mother's screams at seeing her dead son are heard from the now empty street outside after a gunfight has been broken up by the police.
* ''[[Top Gear]]'' once did this with a [[Cool Car|Mecedes 600 Grosser]]'s horn.
* Reese on ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'', when he learns that the girl he was crushing on after reading her diary was [[Squick|actually his mom]].
* Frequently happens in ''[[Sister, Sister]]'' when either Ray or Tia discovers Tamera did something stupid that they are angered at (it's not really a scream as much as them screaming Tamera's name, as it pans out, sometimes even starts in before panning out).
Line 148:
== Webcomics ==
* "The Scream" has [http://twolumps.net/d/20050801.html spoofed] [http://twolumps.net/d/20060703.html twice] so far in Two Lumps.
* Black Mage from ''[[8-Bit Theater
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', when Bun-bun finds out his collection of ''[[Baywatch]]'' tapes has been magnetically erased. What's really hilarious/terrifying about this is the implication of what he's going to do to the other main characters once he catches them.
* In [[Dubious Company]], Walter needs to upgrade his ship with a homing device in order to find Tiren. [[Leeroy Jenkins]] thinks this is taking too long and decides to help while Walter is sleeping. Walter wakes up to find his [[Cool Ship]] in ruins. Cut to Tiren asking [[The Dragon|Izor]] if he heard that scream.
Line 168:
== Western Animation ==
* One episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' does this with Squidward during the episode "Clams", when Spongebob catches his nose, after getting his book, chair, and shirt.
* From ''[[Adventure Time]]'':
{{quote|'''Princess Bubblegum:''' Yo, Earl!
Line 176:
** There's really no need to add the quote. Lemongrab embodies this trope, all the time.
* In an episode of ''[[Invader Zim]]'', a little girl's scream is heard by The Tallest, who are on a spaceship on the other end of the galaxy.
** You're not mentioning the crowner? In Battle of the Planets, {{spoiler|Zim uses Mars as a giant steamroller to flatten Earth. The planet comes down gently and crushes a man's soda can.}} The man's screams go on for about a minute onscreen without end.
* A variation appears on the first half of the "Who Shot Mr. Burns" episode of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''; on realizing that Mr. Burns has forgotten his name yet again despite all his efforts, Homer takes a deep breath and yells a profanity (starts with an "F", the rest is covered by the sound of an organ playing). It's given exactly the same treatment as [[The Scream]].
** "Dear lord, that's the loudest profanity I've ever heard!"
