I was rewatching the Lord of the Rings movies recently, and was annoyed to hear the Wilhelm Scream being used. It's one of those things that, once you know about it, seems kind of funny at first, but then gets annoying really fast... especially when you're enjoying a movie and it pops up as a sound effects in-joke.

Anyway, here's a few compilation vids showing the Wilhelm scream in action:

and a little documentary about its history:

No one's really sure who did the scream, but the leading contender is apparently Sheb Wooley of Purple People Eater fame.

The funny thing about it is, once you know what it is, it gets annoying. Never really beforehand unless you pay attention to tiny sounds during large action sequences. lol

Not unlike The Game.

Bahaha, that's quite funny, it's in so many of them...
I bet that's going to annoy me now though. Just like you said.
I never noticed it before!

Sure, we can chuck him in the black hole of lame ideas, along with New Coke, bell-bottoms, and Bob Dylan does Christmas.

Of course, I'm probably going to pre-order that album, so... xd

Back in the day of pre-recorded sound effects that have been re-used too many times to count. I offten hear it in other movies and have a laugh, then have to explain it to my room mates who don't belive me. Side note watch Indiana Jones (any of the original 3) I belive it even appears in Star wars return of the jedi, and many many other movies.

We now need to start up a list of the many ways one should NOT use a Wilhelm scream. lol

Thou shall not use the Wilhelm scream during sex scenes.


Doctor Who should have its own version of the Wilhelm scream for scenes where a bunch of people are getting killed off by Daleks, Cybermen, Autons, or whatever the rubber suit monster of the week is.

(Was thinking that but wasn't going to post it)


They don't have a generic scream? Just whoever's dying at that moment? Hm.

^ I have a tendency to say things that everybody thinks, but no one else is stupid enough to actually say.
