The Wilhelm Scream

August 12, 2008

“Originally recorded for the 1951 western Distant Drums, the silly scream became a favorite of sound designers in the mid-”70s (four-time Oscar winner Ben Burtt is the guy who brought The Scream back to life), and has since been heard in dozens of movies in which grown men fall to the ground in terror and/or agony.”
