A community portal about Wilhelm scream with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the movie Distant Drums. The scream was most likely vocalized by actor-singer Sheb Wooley, who later had a number one pop hit with the novelty song " Purple People Eater." It has been featured in dozens of movies since. Alongside a certain recording of the cry of the Red-tailed Hawk, the "Universal telephone ring" , the Goofy holler and " Castle thunder," it is probably one of the most well-known cinematic sound cliches.
