Never realized that the “ow” before they say “no, not an ‘ow’, a scream” was used a lot. It was in Attack of the Clones in the beginning when Padme’s ship explodes.
Yeah, it's been a stock sound effect for so long that even when it's from the original recording it sounds like it was just spliced in. I think even if I went back in time and listened to it on the actual set I would still feel that way lol.
For some reason my brain has categorized the scream as just a sound clip that even when i hear the actor doing it in this longer context my brain feels like the specific "willhelm scream" was added to this video in post. I know it wasn't, but my brain cant square to circle.
Out of all odds, all places of the world. We gather here today on the 12th of march 2024 for 31 seconds at a time to remember and appreciate THE most iconic scream in history.
it's still crazy to me that a person actually made that noise, maybe it's because its been used out of context so much but it just doesn't sound like a noise a person should be able to make
I’ve never understood why this particular sound became so popular. It doesn’t sound like a sound a real human being would make. It’s always felt kinda uncanny valleyish to me
Man the internet scares me. I was making breakfast this morning and thought 'i wonder what the origin of the wilhelm scream is, maybe ill look it up at some point' 10 hours later and this comes up.
I love when you get so used to something being weird (ex. this being used in movies or people wearing glasses that distort their face) that when you experience it naturally it seems almost fake. (like when someone takes off their glasses)
But it wasn't famous until George Lucas and Steven Spielberg used it, and clearly, the voice actor didn't think it was "cartoony," as that was his immediate response to being told to deliver "a real scream, of pain," so don't act like everyone is you.

They’re all used. The 2nd scream is the least used one. The 6th scream has been used a bit more than the 2nd, and the 1st one has been used a good amount of times as well. The 3rd, 4th and 5th screams are the more commonly used ones, with obviously the 4th one being the most occurring scream.
Now, fun fact. They didn't use the first scream of that take. They used the second one at 0:24, which featured of that scream from Distant Drums (1951).
Yeah I was thinking how they'd use the first one since it clipped/distorted a bit. So it makes sense that it's that second one, which doesn't have the same problem.
The one used in the 1951 movie (distant drums) is the one in 0:24, the popular one is used in the 1953 movie ( the charge at feather river), and appears at 0:21

It was amazing how he let the alligator bite him so many times just to get the perfect take.
Not even the voice coach was ready for the divine scream that heavens were about to grace upon this actor
The moment he screams is surreal moment because we’ve always heard it edited in, without context

Never realized that the “ow” before they say “no, not an ‘ow’, a scream” was used a lot. It was in Attack of the Clones in the beginning when Padme’s ship explodes.
it was also in A New Hope when that storm trooper gets shot
I had to listen to it a few times before I could get myself to believe it was an actual sound a person made
the scream doesn't sound real anymore... to me at least
Don’t you dare say it

little did that guy ever know, that correction from an "ow" to a "Pained scream" changed film history
The sound is so iconic, It's like the one photo where Matpat got his iconic reaction. It feels like it doesn't fit.

Recorded in 1951, for those who don't know.

exactly
As a UA-cam commenter, I alligate this scream
I love how voice clips like this are so iconic they don't even sound natural in their original form
like the bababooey sound
Bababooey.
I swear to god a human cannot make that sound
I make these sounds after I get a hold of the vacuum cleaner
I'd hate to be the scream that followed the original Willhelm scream, imagine the pressure you'd be in
this is one of those things where it sounds edited in even in the original
It’s so surreal to hear the organic origin of a famous sound effect.
The funny thing is that in the final cut of the movie, they actually used the scream at 0:24 instead of the famous one.
I’ve never understood why this particular sound became so popular. It doesn’t sound like a sound a real human being would make. It’s always felt kinda uncanny valleyish to me
becuase its become a meme for producers of shows to hide it in somewhere.
The reason it feels uncanny is probably because it’s usually dubbed into scenes that weren’t directed to fit the audio
U can blame Star Wars for popularising it in episode IV lol
It’s an inside joke in the movie industry
I would like to see a compilation of a movie or show using this scream.
This scream is probably the most heard scream in the world next to the The Howie Scream
the "amen break" of cinema

That man never knew how iconic his scream would become
Supposedly the man behind the Wilheim scream is Sheb Wooley, the same person who sang novelty song "Purple People Eater".
It would have made the yell more iconic if the director was like, “No… not that either.”
The very first scream is used when someone is sacrificed in Fear and Hunger.
The funger brothers
To respect it too, I'll always refer to the popular one as Wilhelm Scream 4. Wilhelm Scream 3 is lame tho.
Fun Fact:The first one is still used just like the classic Wilhelm scream
I've heard it so many times it sounds fake in the original audio lmao
I love when you get so used to something being weird (ex. this being used in movies or people wearing glasses that distort their face) that when you experience it naturally it seems almost fake. (like when someone takes off their glasses)
seeing the original picture of matpat at the con does this for me HEAVY
Ive heard it so often that now it sounds so artificial everytime I hear it
It would be easier he just tell him do the wilhelm scream, dude.
exactly!!!!!!!
They didn’t have the name for the screams at this point in time
"Not an Ow, a real scream, of pain." Does the most famous cartoony scream ever 🤣

Someone could really mess with audiences by using one of the alternate takes
this is the audio equivalent of seeing the original matpat thinking image, its the original but still feels edited.
