This clip is frickin hilarious! I can’t stop laughing… In 1951 an actor was called on to record a scream for an overdub in a movie. Since then, the audio clip of his scream has been used by the production company in movies ranging from Star Wars to Alladin. At some point. in the 1970’s a sound designer gave this particular scream the name “The Wilhelm Scream” as an ode to the dialogue used in the original instance.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to enjoy a movie in the theatre ever again… cause I’ll just be listening for this scream.
