A new Wilhelm?
Much as I adore Wilhelm spotting, it’s not as fun now that it’s so widely known about outside the film industry.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you probably wondered why some people at the cinema laugh seemingly inappropriately at horrific explosions and falls.
The Wilhelm scream is a sound effect regarded with affection by sound engineers and directors alike, it’s the calling card of someone who knows their movie heritage and has been discretely slipped into 100s of Hollywood films. (See link above for a compilation).
After watching Breaking Bad Season 1, we might have alternative : The Dean Scream.(Youtube).
