The Wilhelm Scream

If you want to listen to some of Sheb Wooly's "vocal oddulations", just look up "one eyed one horn flying purple people eater". It starts with some of those oddulations.

I have heard of this. I started to click the video, but decided against it. I do not need the “insider information” because I know me. My OCD, or whatever it is, would not allow me to just enjoy what I am watching if I hear this scream and begin analyzing it instead actually watching the show. 
My thought process would probably go like this:

That was the Wilhelm Scream.

That’s the one that Joe posted. 
I wonder how Joe’s doing? Nice guy.

Hang on, was this show on the list?

Is this a new use of that scream?

Hmmm…I can’t remember if this show was on the list.

I will have to look this up. 
I wonder who made that scream, how long did they practice?

I wonder if they did it in the booth or an open studio. 
Do they air condition studios. 
I will bet the old ones weren’t and I will bet they were dusty too.
I think the women’s styles in the 40’s were hot!

Too much cigarette smoke. 
I wonder if the screamer was a smoker?

So glad I don’t smoke any more. Gotta kick these nicotine lozenges though. 
Oh S***! I left my nicotine lozenges in the truck!

Eat more popcorn…

I wish they wouldn’t use that scream any more. It’s distracting. 
I wonder if someone makes royalties off this scream. 
Probably some old dude living in one of those 1930’s apartment complexes with a fountain or a garden with windy sidewalks in Culver City. 
Those places are a b**** to move into. 
Nosey neighbors and no air conditioning because “We always have a breeze from the ocean” that only occurs the day you rent the place. Grrrrr…

Where else have I heard that scream? I know it was in Star Wars too…

Awe, WTH! That guy in front of me is texting. I will give him 10 seconds to put it away. 
Good, he’s done. 
What a stupid haircut. Looks like a Depression haircut from the 30’s. I wonder if he even knows that? Probably not. He’s a mouth breather. 
I wonder if that studio had a coke machine that sold those little 7 ounce bottles. 
Awe, grape Nehi. I would love a cold bottle if that but in the 16 ounce size. 
Man, I loved me some ice cold soda from a pop machine on a hot summer day when I was little. 
I wonder what happened to all those old pop machines?


All this would occur in about 3 seconds and then on to the next mental exercise when someone whips out a knife or a gun or…oh, man, she’s a cutie.

I wonder what she’s like in real life?

She’s definitely in shape. Love that little curl on her lips when she smiles. 
I wonder if she likes motorcycles. 
I need to change my oil…

It ain't like he's got anything better to do.:rolleyes:

Nope. No need. It’s just rabbit hole material. 
 

I once watched an expose on Foley artists and how they create sounds for dubbing into movies. That one hour show ruined me for a long time because every time someone punched someone in a movie I could hear the wooden mallet mashing celery sticks or when someone was walking through gravel I could imagine a girl in big shoes stomping on Frosted Flakes.

I will not watch shows that show how movies are made. I watched one once on the making of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Ruined the movie for me.

I get it. 

 

I worked in a haunted house 3 times when I was in high school. 

 

It took all of the fun out of going to them.

 

While everybody else is reacting to what is happening,  I'm standing there with a smirk on my face working out how they are doing the gag.

Well, the Temple of Doom pretty much sucked anyhow.

Hello sassnet! That's my sass name!

I did a wood burning of the Wilhelm into my cowboy cart!

Yeah, the arrow is easier to survive than a croc attack. Good choice.
