checked urban dictionary, they say its a sound effect used in movies, they give the example of Indiana Jones.
Guess its not something bad. Why'd you have to scare me like that?
i was just curious if you knew, lol.
i love the Wilhelm Scream. a LOT of directors and sound designers slip into into their movies. kind of an inside joke. the Wilhelm scream is in TONS and TONS of movies. whenever i hear it i laugh so hard and rarely anyone ever knows why and when the moment is right to explain it, i've already forgotten why i laughed. so, yeah, that's it.
so its like a generic scream used in many movies? ill have to see if i can listen for it, id probably recognize it. i read that its used in star wars, indiana jones, and more.
i read a while ago that back in some old movie there was a guy that screamed, and they sampled him doing a couple different ones, and every now and then directors will use them. I think this is the site i read about it a while back: http://www.hollywoodlostandfound.net/wilhelm/
exactly. perfect. thanks.
