Scream-Master was a company in La Verne, California during the 1950s. They made simple vertical sirens with a louvered shroud which protected the siren's chopper and motor from weather. Their sirens were mounted on a pole shaped tower, supplied by Scream-Master themselves, with a maintenance basket usually stuck on the side to make periodic maintenance easier.

They were another small company that couldn't keep up with the growing Federal Sign & Signal emporium and they later went out of business in the late 1950s. The most common model of siren by them is a 6/8 port omnidirectional. There have been single tone models found as well. | Scream-Master was a company in La Verne, California during the 1950s.
