60 Years Of The Wilhelm Scream

This is a bit off topic – but this video compiles 60 years of the use of the “Wilhelm Scream’ - a popular stock scream that has been used in countless films, tv shows, and video games.
It’s sort of the Amen Break of cinema.
It was recorded in 1951 for Distant Drums, but has become a bit of a sound editor’s inside joke, finding infamy when sound magician Ben Burtt snuck it into the films he was working on, especially Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
