Shouted - scared me stupid! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

screamed

'shouted' is the definition.
(screaming is a kind of shouting)

'scared me stupid' is the wordplay.
'stupid' is an anagram indicator (in a stupid order).
'scared'+'me'='scaredme'
'scaredme' anagrammed gives 'SCREAMED'.

(Other definitions for screamed that I've seen before include "Uttered a sudden high-pitched cry" , "Shrieked" , "Uttered a loud, high-pitched cry" , "Uttered loud cries" , "Utter a loud, high-pitched cry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
