Well, do you go to him at night?  That is part of the problem if you do.  I'd get a nice nightlight.  Let him pick it out and make it a big deal.  Make sure he has a sippy cup of water in or by his bed.  Do lots during the day to physically tire him out.  Swim, hit the parks, keep him physically active.  Do a nice bedtime routine that is very calming.  Make sure he has a snuggly.  And that is it.  

He screams and you let him scream.  You'll have a few terrible and sleepless nights . . . but you already are.  Your son has not learned to put himself back to sleep when he wakes at night as all people do several times.  We just roll over and fall back to sleep.  He is unable to do that and needs your help.  You just can't help him anymore.  If you go to him, you prolong the behavior.  So that is my advice.  Do what parents of one year olds do to break him of it.  I assume this has been the pattern all along and not a change.  

Also, at 2---------- watch content.  Disney movies are super scary and even things like Scooby Doo has monsters.  Keep that stuff to a minimum.  
good luck
