You'll Never Hear Movies the Same Way Again
 

Fascinating history of the Wilhelm scream.

From the article, *The Wilhelm has punctuated the death and dismemberment of dozens of characters in some 20 to 25 movies, particularly in those associated with George Lucas.*

Hehe, I've noticed that scream, there's also a flash sound effect that I originally heard in the game DooM II which is used in every second movie that hits the screen.

I've also heard certain Star Wars sound effects cribbed for a bunch of movies and TV shows.

I hadn't noticed the Wilhem scream conciously before, but I did Goofys' scream. (I prefer the Goofy one, btw) :D

Damn interesting post, though. You learn something new every day.
Thanks for sharing, Double D.

Yeah, the use of Wilhelm in Star Wars is classic.

On my work computer, I think I have a video compilation of all different movies utilizing the Wilhelm scream. I'll see if I can find it - PM me if you have a bit of space where I can put it up for download.

You are very welcome!
My pleasure :) .

Well, I feel a little smarter now. Thanks for the link!
