[edit] MF DOOM

That's That! Rap song has got it

[edit] What is this scream?

Theres is another scream that is used in dozens if not hundreds of movies and even CDs, where a woman screams, stops for a second and screams again a bit longer. What is this one called? --KpoT (talk) 09:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

There is also the Youraagh Scream which is used in a ton of stuff, doesn't however fit your discription. -- Grumbel (talk) 13:54, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Also known as the Howie scream? -- Nik Rolls (talk) 08:08, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
I think the scream you're referring to is the one they're talking about here. The only one of the links in the post that still work is this one where you'll hear the scream in the background at the 0:09 mark. I've been unable to track down any more information than this. -- Nik Rolls (talk) 08:19, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Here we go again

To whom it may concern: We do not have to add in every instance it is in a work. Lots42 (talk) 07:19, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality?

Why is this article nominated to be checked for neutrality? In fact, it has no opinionated viewpoints at all. If I am wrong, please correct me, but I am considering deleting that tag. --24.34.249.135 (talk) 21:24, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Springfield Rifle (1952) use of "Wilhelm" scream

At about the 54 minute mark is a distinctive use of the so-called Wilhelm scream. As this was a Warner Bros film, surely THIS is the first use from the Warner Bros sound library, not The Charge at Feather River (1953), and the (un-editable) opening paragraphs have it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbrumbles (talkcontribs) 22:40, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit] List of Uses of the Wilhelm Scream

Does anyone think we should have this as a section, if not, an article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMovieManiac (talkcontribs) 20:56, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

No. Turns into a list of unconfirmed cruft very quickly. If specific uses are noted by reliable sources (sayin a article about stock sounds, or a review of a specific film or game, for example), we could probably mention that. Millahnna (talk) 21:15, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
We just need like five, maximum, confirmed uses in -this- article. Lots42 (talk) 04:15, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
You were around when it got cleaned up last time right (late last year I think...your screenie looks familiar)? I don't think we had anything in there that was reliably sourced beyond the claim that Lucas overuses it. I vaguely recall at the time that I went looking for some sources we could use to do that with (list a small handful of specific instances) but all I found were non-notable blogs and fan boards. Don't suppose you ever found anything? Millahnna (talk) 05:25, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Have you not checked Steve Lee's site at http://www.hollywoodlostandfound.net/wilhelm.html? It's the most thoroughly researched source available, listing over 200 uses of the scream. He's Hollywood's curator of all things Wilhelm. Gaiole (talk) 16:24, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Bam! Have this on the article. We don't need a million more on this one. As it is currently, the article is awesome. Lots42 (talk) 23:10, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
