An Aural Piece of Hollywood History

This is just a really cool piece of Hollywood history... You've undoubtedly heard the Wilhelm Scream, whether you've realized it or not, from 1951 to the present. (Via BoingBoing.)

  • Seems like Skywalker sound has a penchant for the scream.

    If you made a collection of "Door Number 4" from the Hollywood Edge, you'd list about 1/4 of all movies ever made since the sound was recorded.

    In low budget movies there would be maybe a hundred in the last decade with "angel swoosh."

    Sound is sort of a subliminal art form and can get away with this. Would be interesting to see a collection of how many movies got away with using the same stock shot.
