悲ひ鳴めいN1
悲鳴 specifically refers to a scream of fear or pain, while 絶叫 can express any intense emotion, not just fear.
叫さけびN1
絶叫 emphasizes an intense, all-out scream (often from excitement or terror), whereas 叫び is a more neutral term for any shout.

絶ぜっ句く
絶句 looks and sounds similar to 絶叫 but means being at a loss for words or falling silent, the opposite of shouting.

Compound of 絶 (ぜつ, 'extreme') and 叫 (きょう, 'shout'). The reading ぜっきょう results from rendaku-like voicing of きょう to ぎょう and sokuon insertion.
