You may think you’ve never heard the Wilhelm Scream but you have: since 1951, when some Hollywood sound engineer recorded an anonymous actor screaming in three different flavors, the “Wilhelm Scream” has been used in movies ever since as everybody’s favorite sound of anonymous death. The Wilhelm Scream site is devoted to cataloging Sir Wilhelm of Scream’s numerous appearances. (Most recent: “Dell Computers – PC Dreams” TV Commercial (May 2003): One of the Dell Interns is repeatedly dropped through a trap door in a dream about how Dell computers are tested.”)
Once you hear it, you’ll keep on hearing it!
