you know it the second you hear it. it’s become a staple of the sound effects industry heard in everything from ‘A Star is Born’ to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’.
it’s the Wilhem scream and it’s got a rich history for such a strange little soundclip.
Wilhelm on wikipedia
on ‘hollywood lost and found’
apparently, there is a band named after it
a video compliation of some appearances of the scream.
