Ever thought you’d heard a particular dying scream in a film before? There’s a good chance you have. It could be the Wilhelm scream. It’s been used in many Westerns, Star Wars films, the Peter Jackson King Kong, Lord of the Rings, Sin City, Reservoir Dogs, even computer games like Command & Conquer.
Don’t believe it? Follow the link to a video on youtube.com and watch and listen. The picture shows one of the earliest films “The Charge at Feather River.” and that’s Private Wilhelm who is about to shuffle off his mortal coils in 2 seconds. There’s an article on Wikipedia as well with as very comprehensive list of films etc that feature it.
