The Wilhelm Scream

[PSmyth07]

Noticed this recently when watching LoTR. But watch QI last night to send me to sleep and they were talking about it.

You probably notice it in a lot of films now. :)

Brilliant! I had to look this up:

I don't think I'll ever be able to watch a film in quite the same way from this day onwards.

I love how some of them, like Tarantino in Dogs, just puts it in unnecessarily purely as a homage to the legend.

In Star Wars, as well as using it in the conventional way, they also mixed it into the noise the X-wing fighters made.
