Varför använder så många filmer fortfarande Wilhelms skrik? Är det typ av ett springande skämt i hela bio? Det verkar som om du kunde hitta tusentals andra ljudfiler av skrik.
The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that has been used in more than 225 movies and television episodes et al, beginning in 1951 for the film Distant Drums. The scream is often used when someone is shot, falls from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion, and is most commonly used in films and television.

Jag antar att jag inte får veta hur efter årtionden av användningen i alla filmer från b filmer till Hollywood blockbusters, kan du hitta ett wilhelm skrik.
Det verkar som Wilhelms skrik började som ett inre skämt, kanske ett påskägg. Men genom åren har det blivit ett snöboll, som spelar mer och mer filmer som innehåller lite ljud.
Skriet användes först i 1951-filmen Distant Drums , som en ljudeffekt för att någon skulle äta av en krokodil:
Pretend an alligator just bit off your arm. Now scream. That's what a voice actor did to overdub a shriek for the 1951 film Distant Drums.

Om den misstänkta röstskådespelaren i skriket rapporterar wikipedia följande:
Research by Burtt suggests that Sheb Wooley, best known for his novelty song "The Purple People Eater" in 1958 and as scout Pete Nolan on the television series Rawhide, is likely to have been the voice actor who originally performed the scream. This has been supported by an interview in 2005 with Linda Dotson, Wooley's widow. Burtt discovered records at Warner Brothers from the editor of Distant Drums including a short list of names of actors scheduled to record lines of dialogue for miscellaneous roles in the movie. Wooley played the uncredited role of Private Jessup in Distant Drums, and was one of the few actors assembled for the recording of additional vocal elements for the film. Wooley performed additional vocal elements, including the screams for a man being bitten by an alligator. Dotson confirmed Wooley's scream had been in many Westerns, adding, "He always used to joke about how he was so great about screaming and dying in films." Despite the usage of the sound, no royalties are paid.
Wikipedia - Wilhelm Scream
Det var länge tills ljuddesignern Ben Burtt snubblat på den ursprungliga inspelningen. Han använde den i en scen i Star Wars, där Luke Skywalker skjuter upp en Stormtrooper av en ledge .
Berättade, fortsatte Ben Burtt sedan att använda denna ljudeffekt som en slags liten röd linje under hela sin karriär. Som taget från hans wikipedia sida:
Burtt has a reputation for including a sound effect dubbed "the Wilhelm scream" in many of the movies he's worked on. Taken from a character named "Wilhelm" in the film The Charge at Feather River, the sound can be heard in countless films: for instance, in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope when a stormtrooper falls into a chasm and in Raiders of the Lost Ark when a Nazi soldier falls off the back of a moving car.
Ett sådant exempel kan faktiskt vara en referens till den ursprungliga inspelningen, som den används i en scen från Indiana Jones och Doom-templet , när någon faktiskt blir ätit av en krokodil en gång till.
Med hjälp av det ursprungliga ljudet blev det ett inläggsspratt , som används av 372 filmer och räknar .
I följande radiosändning, en intervju med Stephen Altobello , ljudredaktör vid Spin Cycle Post i New York, det hävdas att användandet av ljudet också är ett sätt att "markera din film, att autografera ljudet på det".
STEPHEN ALTOBELLO: I don't want to say it's a stupid sound, but it's ridiculous. It's certainly extremist. You watch it once, and you don't know it's there. You're like, okay this scene's fine. But when you watch it knowing it's there, it really does leap out of the sound track too. You're like oh, my God, that's a big - that's a huge ridiculous scream there, but it works. They always find the right spot, the right frame.
DAVID SERCHUK: Sound editors like Anderson and Altobello say that often when directors notice The Wilhelm they demand it be pulled. But it seems it's become almost an obsession for Altobello, and frequently the first thing he looks for in a new project is "The Wilhelm Moment."
STEPHEN ALTOBELLO: I've even tried to mix it in, like mix it into a track so that it can't be removed. Like if you want this car sound on that TV set, you gotta have the scream. I can't even turn - you know - and I act stupid, like, "Well I don't know! That's just part of it! You know?" I tried to get it into an HBO after school special about not using drugs but the filmmaker pulled it out. I tried to get it into a film called Chicago Cab, and they were like, "You've got to be kidding me."
De fortsätter att förklara att specifikt användningen i En stjärna är född är orsaken till deras hyllningar, inte lika mycket Ben Burtt-filmerna:
STEPHEN ALTOBELLO: Whoever put it in the movie in the background for one scene, that's fine; that was probably expected. But whoever found a way to weasel it into the arrangement of a Judy Garland song, that's somebody who really pulled off the ultimate, I think, because the movie stops and it's the only thing that's happening. I'll never be able to pull that off.
