Have you heard of the the famous Wilhelm Scream? Its a small scream sound used it several popular movies. Just look at this youtube video and you will see what it is.

Apparently this sound effect was made for the movie Distant Drums and is now used constantly in all the Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies(and alot more).
Lol, wow; I had always assumed the actors were the ones screaming, not a recording. Very interesting indeed.
So is this like the Amen Break of screams?

It's funny because I knew the sound the second you mentioned it... and I hadn't heard a name put to it before... XD

I think I did the same thing and as soon as I saw the description, I heard it in my head.
Yeah I actually enjoy hearing it in movies, because it brings me back to good memories of Star Wars.
:D
Heres a list of every movie containing the Wilhelm Scream.
