The only scream I know about is the Wilhelm Scream, and that's by a man. I haven't heard any mention of a female scream being used, but I'd certainly like to learn about this.

"Memento" and "The X-Files: Redrum" (2000) both are too recent for what you are asking about. It does sound vaguely familiar. For me, it sounds more like "Redrum" with Joe Morton as the man living...
