The "Wilhelm"
Any know what i am talking about? There is a scream that is used all the time in movies, usually with men. It's called the Wilhelm (as i understand it) because it was originally used in a ww2 film, and a character named "Wilhelm" originally made the scream. it shows up in practically everything.
Does anyone have any idea what i am talking about? The main reason i am bringing this up is because there appears to be a female "Wilhelm". i have noticed the exact same female scream in Hackers, Dog Soldiers, and even the New Dawn of the Dead. Anyone have any clues? Zwoti? Darthvonpokemon?

The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect first recorded in 1951 for the movie Distant Drums. It has been featured in dozens of movies since. Alongside a certain recording of the cry of the red-tailed hawk, it is probably the most well-known cinematic sound cliché.
The Wilhelm's revival came from Star Wars-series Sound Designer Ben Burtt, who tracked down the original recording (which he found as a studio reel labeled "Man being eaten by alligator"), and named it for a character that emitted it in the 1953 movie Charge at Feather River. Its use in Star Wars was the beginning of something of an in-joke amongst some sound designers of the film industry, (especially at Skywalker Sound). They continue to try to incorporate it into movies wherever feasible; action movies are naturals, but film sound cognoscenti are particularly impressed when it is used naturally in films such as A Star Is Born.

Way to go slacker..... i am so disillusioned......
Just Kidding. :D I wish i could find the name of that woman's scream. If anyone has quick access to Dog Soldiers, it's in the part at the beginning where the woman campers gets killed. They play the scream, then blood splatters all over the husband. In the new Dawn of the Dead, when Anna's husband is running after her, then charges the woman standing on her lawn, they use the same noise. If nothing else, can someone check this out and verify that i am not fucking looney?
