Music video

The music video for "Schrei" takes place in a house packed with people, apparently having a party. The band, set up in the living room, begins playing as lead singer Bill Kaulitz makes his way through the crowd. As the band is playing we see scenes of the party including footage of a girl throwing up in the toilet, people destroying the bathroom, and a couple making out while another girl runs her hand through the guy's hair. Near the end of the song Bill crowdsurfs and gets pulled onto the second floor, where he finishes the song. The end of the video shows the band destroying all their equipment. The music video for "Scream" is an exact replica of the video for the German-language original "Schrei" with the only exception of the band members being older and Bill watching the two girls kissing with a smirk on his lips. "Scream" was the background song in the Spike TV Scream Awards 2008.
