Can A Dvr Show Still Get Ratings

The Wilhelm Scream

Who has not heard a certain sound in a movie, which immediately recalled to another, as a DejavĂș? I personally spent a million times with some alarm the Star Wars ships. But the sound we have to take today is much more famous than even the Macarena. This is the Cry of Wilhelm (Wilhelm's Scream).

In 1951, during the filming of "Distant Drums" was filmed a scene in which a man was dragged and eaten by a crocodile. The actor gave a strange cry that drew so much attention that was recorded separately and filed on the bank of sounds from the Warner Bros.

The point is that many years later, the sound designer Ben Burtt of Star Wars found it and gave it a name (Pvt.Wilhelm) referring to another movie "The Charge at Feather River" who had also used the cry for death of a soldier named Wilhelm.

From here comes the legend. Since the 50 is used as a cheap sound effect as film buffs nod to the audience with more acute hearing.


has been part of the vast majority of the most acclaimed sagas in history, appearing at least once in many of the great successes of the cinema history, extending its use to the land of cinema Series B and even video games.

I leave a very good video with lots of Wilhelm screams that have been included in scenes from the movies.

As they say To bed you will not go without knowing a thing!. I give permission to be interesting with his friends.
