I agree that the scream could be described in a less cliche way.

I don't see how a character being alone is cliche though, since that's more of a genre. (A story either involves a solo character or multiple characters.) It's kind of like saying a story is cliche for involving humans.

Lastly, the horror movie is required for the scream to make sense.
