<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Scream''' is a vocalization consisting of a loud, sharp, piercing cry or sound, often produced as a reaction to fear, surprise, or pain. It is a form of human communication used primarily in extreme situations and can be involuntary or voluntary.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The word "scream" is derived from the Old Norse word "skræma", which means "to terrify" or "to scare". <br />
<br />
==Physiology==<br />
A [[scream]] is produced by the rapid tightening and then release of the vocal cords. The sound is amplified by the [[larynx]] and [[resonance]] in the [[sinuses]]. Screaming can be harmful if done excessively, as it can strain the vocal cords and cause [[hoarseness]] or loss of voice.<br />
<br />
==Psychology==<br />
In [[psychology]], screaming is often associated with expressions of [[fear]], [[pain]], [[anger]], and [[surprise]]. It is a primal response to danger and is used as a means of signaling distress and calling for help. <br />
<br />
==In popular culture==<br />
Screams are often used in [[horror films]] and [[thrillers]] to heighten the sense of fear and suspense. The [[Scream (franchise)|Scream franchise]], for example, is a popular series of horror films that uses screams as a central theme.<br />
