@boffgirl Haha! QI Series F Episode 11 "Ben Burtt, an up-and-coming sound-effects editor (and now a very successful one), heard it in lots of films, and now he and his friends make it a point to include this scream in every film they make. On YouTube, someone has complied a feature using 23 films, all of which have the scream."
@Daiblix You're missing the point. It's an in-joke for sound-effects people to pay tribute to the original scream by slipping it into a movie whenever possible (much like the flying cows prevalent in other movies). Nobody knows who did the original scream, so it was given the name "The Wilhelm Scream" from the character "Wilhelm" in the first movie shown above.

Jeez how fucking hard is it for the movie industry to just record a new scream sound effect?

@TheZuchinniman Yeah I get that. But it totally ruins the immersion in a film IMO.

In the new King Kong, you can hear the scream when the guy is pushed off the cliff by the brontosaur.
