History SuperScream / Film

* During the Master Exploder song in ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'' JB's capable of setting a microphone on fire and [[YourHeadASplode literally blowing somebody's mind]] with his voice alone.

* The only weakness of the aliens in Film/InvisibleInvaders is high frequency sound. The team creates a gun that blast sonic waves that turns them visible and then into foam.

* ''Film/XMen'':

* ''TheIncredibleMrLimpet'' gained a vocal weapon when he was turned into a fish. Though it's less a sonic shriek and more a sonic boom, as he generates a thundering percussive shockwave. It's put to good use at the climax of the movie when he uses it to guide "thrum" seeking German torpedoes to destroy the Nazi U-boats that launched them.

* Used by the protagonist in ''Film/{{Beowulf 2007}}'' against Grendel (and combined with "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! AM! BEOWULF!]]") as a result of Grendel having freakishly sensitive eardrums.

* [[Creator/BruceCampbell Coach Boomer]] from ''Film/SkyHigh''. Woe betide anyone who disagrees with his choice of 'Hero' or 'Sidekick'.

* Used by Film/{{Beowulf}} against Grendel (and combined with [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! AM! BEOWULF!]]) as a result of Grendel having freakishly sensitive eardrums.

* Subverted in ''[[Film/HarryPotter Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' in which the Fat Lady attempts to break a glass by singing/screeching at it, but ends up quickly smashing it against the wall instead.

* In ''Film/{{Critters}} 3'' the crite known as Blackie sends out a distress call to the others when cornered by Annie (though it had no reason to, as the previous films established a single crite is more than capable of taking down a grown man and she was an unarmed pre-teen girl), the scream is loud enough to shatter glass and cause pain to the rest of the apartment attendants.

* In ''Film/VictorVictoria'', "Victor" is showing off her vocal range as a man out in the hallway balances on a wine bottle. [[HilarityEnsues It]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny ends]] [[GlassShatteringSound really]] [[SarcasmMode well.]]

* Played with in ''TheMuppetMovie''. Bunsen is setting up the sound system in the studio and requests a sound level. Animal steps up to the microphone and yells, "TESTING!" at the top of his voice as a joke. Cue smoking headphones and shaking glasses.

* In ''{{Critters}} 3'' the crite known as Blackie sends out a distress call to the others when cornered by Annie (though it had no reason to, as the previous films established a single crite is more than capable of taking down a grown man and she was an unarmed pre-teen girl), the scream is loud enough to shatter glass and cause pain to the rest of the apartment attendants.

* This was only demonstrated once in ''TheReturnOfHanuman'', as Maruti hoots to scare off his school's bullies.

* The only weakness of the aliens in InvisibleInvaders is high frequency sound. The team creates a gun that blast sonic waves that turns them visible and then into foam.

** Banshee in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. In an unusual variation, this includes [[IBelieveICanFly the power of flight]], by bouncing sound waves off the ground back into a wingsuit.

* Siryn, one of the students in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' has this power. She wakes up as Stryker's men are sneaking around and screams, which alerts everyone else in the mansion.

* In ''VictorVictoria'', "Victor" is showing off her vocal range as a man out in the hallway balances on a wine bottle. [[HilarityEnsues It]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny ends]] [[GlassShatteringSound really]] [[SarcasmMode well.]]

* ''MeetDave'', albeit unintentionally. He's tweaking his voice and accidentally set the pitch so high it makes empty wine bottles explode.

* The Landlady from ''KungFuHustle'' uses a technique known as The Lion's Roar that's basically this. In the fight against The Beast, she breaks the top off a large bell and uses it as an amplifier for the attack, blasting him(and most of the rest of the room) through several walls.

* The monster portrayed by Awa in ''Dark Floors'' is a ghost with a glass-breaking screech. Tobias refers to her as "the Scream Queen", and she is the only one given an in-movie name.

* In the 1984 film adaptation of ''{{Literature/Dune}}'', Paul and the Fremen use sonic weapons that are activated by shouting.
* In ''Critters'' 3 the crite known as Blackie sends out a distress call to the others when cornered by Annie (though it had no reason to, as the previous films established a single crite is more than capable of taking down a grown man and she was an unarmed pre-teen girl), the scream is loud enough to shatter glass and cause pain to the rest of the apartment attendants.

* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Roger can let out a noise like a steam whistle that can [[GlassShatteringSound shatter glass]], but only after he drinks strong liquor.

* [[BruceCampbell Coach Boomer]] from ''Film/SkyHigh''. Woe betide anyone who disagrees with his choice of 'Hero' or 'Sidekick'.

** That's not a superpower. It's merely a side effect of being BruceCampbell.

* The giant pterosaur Rodan, of ''{{Franchise/Godzilla}}'' fame, can generate sonic booms through the fast speeds at which he flies. This is demonstrated in ''Final Wars'', in which Rodan flies through a city and the windows of the buildings shatter in his wake.
