A while ago on Twitter, I answered a question asked by The Dirk Malcolm Alternative: “What are the greatest sounds in cinema?”. I gave the answer of The Wilhelm Scream. You can read the replies and more about the Wilhelm Scream here: Dirk’s Five: The Art Of Noise. 🙂
Oh, and I’m also very happy to have correctly guessed last month’s Who’s That? over at Mr Rumsey’s Film Related Musings. This is a great competition he runs where we all have to guess a different movie silhouette each month. Last month’s was Ryan Gosling’s “The Driver” from Drive. Go to this link HERE to see if you can guess this month’s silhouette! 🙂
Awesome, thank for linking me! Glad that you still enjoy the quiz!
I love it! I wish I’d remember to put my guesses in more often! Lol : )
Haha, I’m just happy that you and others play it at all!
That damn scream is in every damn film!
Lol. Well, maybe not every one. But a lot! ; )
The amount if times I’ve heard that scream, I have a wee chuckle whenever I hear it now.
Hehe. Me too. Always fun to spot. : )
Love that Wilhelm scream! I noticed it in Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones as well!
Lol – I’m working my way through Game of Thrones. I’ll have to listen out for it! : )
That picture at the top confuses me. What is that from??
No idea! But whatever it is, it’s probably better than Star Trek. 😉
I swear there is also like one stock child’s laugh that is in every film.
You may be right! I remember the canned laughter from old TV shows having a certain laugh you’d hear over & over. So odd…
Oh cool, I loved Drive!
Um. Okay. Do you actually love Drive or hate Drive?? You’re someone who really needs tone of voice in your comments! Lol ; ) I love Drive but probably more for the soundtrack than the overall film itself.
What do you think?
YOU HATE IT! : )
Yeah, it’s amazing to see the list of movies it had been used in. Great answer!
Thanks! : ) I know – I remember reading about it years ago & have been fascinated with the use of the Wilhelm Scream ever since. : )
