Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
Yup. Totally agreed. It's to the point of getting annoying as hell. + that sound of kids laughing that is ALSO in every movie... (if anyone don't know the sound, it is used in SW ep1 when those kids run to see Anakin working on the pordracer) I effing hate it.
Retire them please... big-time. |

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
Most people i know never even noticed it or knew of it until it was pointed out to them that the same stock scream was being used in movie after movie.

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
At least to my ears, it's also not a very natural scream and usually stands out like a sore thumb.

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
personally i find it kind of amusing,
i listen out for it like an easter egg in a movie, sort of like spotting the starship troopers armor in various movies. |

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
Apparently even Ben Burtt agrees. He has stopped using it, and even removed all copies of it from Skywalker Sound. They had to get it again on their own by downloading it from the Wilhelm Scream page, which was deliberately of poor quality. So they only use it when it's presented as coming from a TV or video game, which they do a lot for The Simpsons.
I guess for Ben it wasn't fun anymore when his own in-joke was being done by everybody. |

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
Yeah I bet that was the last time Ben shared an inside joke. I'm just waiting for Hasbro to release a stormtrooper with a Wilhelm scream button.

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
I'm kind of partial to the "cat scream" in "The Big Snit".
This is a clip of the scream itself (nothing to do with the cartoon "The Big Snit")- Colin and Bradley Cat Scream - YouTube And if you're interested this is "The Big Snit" (watch it; it's funny  ):The Big Snit - YouTube Kevin |

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
I purposely listen for it in films. For me, it's a cheap laugh.

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
Most times it doesn't bother me, but for some reason it bugs me when I hear it in the LOTR films.

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
Fine, go suck the fun out of it.
Why do you have to focus on it so much? It's a brief second in a film. And those that have only now discovered it now would miss out. I only recently informed my daughter of it and now she gets a kick out of hearing it. Don't take away the fun for others because YOUR tolerance is gone. You enjoyed it for years, please allow others to do the same. |

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
As long as there's a soundman that thinks its funny and should be used, and the director agrees with him,, it's not going to die.

Re: The Wilhelm scream. Can it die already?
Could always replace it with Howard Dean's scream...
