	Wilhelm scream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the movie Distant Drums.
		The scream was most likely vocalized by actor-singer Sheb Wooley, who later had a number one pop hit with the novelty song "Purple People Eater." It has been featured in dozens of movies since.
		Alongside a certain recording of the cry of the Red-tailed Hawk, the "Universal telephone ring" [1], the Goofy holler and "castle thunder," it is probably one of the most well-known cinematic sound clichés.

		After learning the significance of the scream while it was being put into "Reservoir Dogs" (1992), Quentin Tarantino called a break from its mix so that he and his sound crew could crowd into a nearby room with a small TV to watch "Distant Drums" on a local station to hear the scream.
		Although the "signature" or "classic" screams, takes 4 through 6 on the original recording, are the most recognizable, all of the screams are referred to as "Wilhelm" by those in the sound community.

	Wilhelm Scream and the Recycling of Game Noises - Kotaku
		I just recently became aware of the Wilhelm Scream, an audio phenomenon in which the exact same girly-man scream has been used in a staggering amount of movies since its first appearance in the fifties.
		Wilhelm Scream is also a pretty good punk/hardcore-ish band as well...but this clip is much better than the band.
		All I know is that I always seem to hear this "yeeeeeaaaaarrrrgh" scream everywhere that I originally though was the wilhelm scream because it was the one scream I would recognize everywhere, only to find out now that the wilhelm scream is something I never recognize.

	The Silver Scream: Wilhelm and Immortality, by Eric David: Eric David: Writings
		The Wilhelm Scream is an infamous sound effect of a man screaming as he dies.
		The past two decades have seen an explosion of the scream as it has become an industry inside joke and a trivial pursuit for film geeks with too much time on their hands.
		To me, what is fascinating about the Wilhelm Scream is that first, it has become a laugh in the face of death, at least in the way it's used now.

	Punknews.org \| The Lawrence Arms / A Wilhelm Scream - live in Portland
		A Wilhelm Scream is a band I've always had mixed feelings about because Mute Print is both incredibly strong but also has some parts that I just can't get into, but I was pleasantly surprised by the live show.
		Wilhelm beats all these band's asses, I saw saw this tour in Frisco...the Larry Arms are pretty damn mediocre if you ask me, not to mention the fake stage balls with all the drinking, I hope at least a couple members get liver pserosis and get to looking really old soon.
		Because, beyond all the technical shit, A Wilhelm Scream is just a mediocre band with a lot of flashy guitar work and a contrived live show (I've seen them twice and stand by this statement).

		A Wilhelm Scream has crafted a version of punk rock that's honest, dynamic and clever, but it is with great hesitation that I use the word creative.
		A Wilhelm Scream has managed to set themselves apart from the saturated indie-punk genre by incorporating several eccentric elements together to make something just a little different.
		Of course there are many of the tried and true elements in the record that feel familiar, but just when you get comfortable A Wilhelm Scream changes the channel and a typical 4/4 punk riff becomes a Hot Rod Circuit-esque guitar solo, with fluttering polyrhythmic disaccorded harmonies.

		Within days of their return, band members hit the road as main support for Less Than Jake, a band that while a bit out of their genre, is evidently the size act that the humble boys from the south shore of Massachusetts tend to be supporting these days.
		If you happen to catch A Wilhelm Scream on one of its many tours, you’ll undoubtedly see the same energy, excitement and appreciation emanated on stage and on recording.

		If I remember correctly, it's screamed by one of the skiff guards at the Sarlacc in Jedi, by the guy who falls off the truck in Raiders, and by that Mola Ram guy at the end of Temple of Doom.
		Hearing the Wilhelm here kinda took me out of the movie for a bit, because I was so utterly surprised to hear it in a Lord of the Rings movie.
		I know it mostly as the scream from the Stormtrooper in ANH (before Luke and Leia swing over the chasm), and have it on my computer because of Shadows of the Empire.

	Rocknoise - A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner CD Rezension
		Nach kurzem Gitarren-Intro-Rumgezupfe verbindet die aus Massachusetts stammende Combo auf 'The King Is Dead' Old School Hardcore-Elemente mit Metaleinlagen, die teilweise an das letzte System Of A Down-Werk erinnern — natürlich darf letzten Endes auch nicht der typisch melodiös bis einfallslose Refrain fehlen, glücklicherweise holen die temporeichen Phasen dies aber schnell wieder raus.
		Die Stärken des Albums liegen vor allem in brachialeren Gefilden, wie "A Wilhelm Scream" in der ersten Hälfte der Platte beweisen.
		Fazit: Irgendwo zwischen Hot Water Music und Strike Anywhere haben "A Wilhelm Scream" mit RUINER ein teilweise überzeugendes, teilweise aber auch zu verspieltes Album abgeliefert.

	WFMU's Beware of the Blog: Wilhelm Scream Medley
		In the 1951 Warner Brothers flick Distant Drums, one of the characters crossing a swamp gets eaten by an alligator, and his somewhat ridiculous scream was overdubbed during the editing process.
		Oddly enough, the same sound effect appeared throughout films to follow, and this was actually noticed down the line by sound designer Ben Burtt (who had borrowed the scream from another film for a project he worked on in 1974).
		Needless to say, You Tube has a medley of the many multiple appearances of the scream in one swoop.
