This is a video about the most famous scream in the world, still leading the famous Howard Dean “YEEARRGH!” by a large margin.

Even if you’ve never heard of the “Wilhelm scream” before, I guarantee that you’ve heard it. And much like the FedEx arrow, once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. So, beware, because I’m sure you’ll hear it when you least expect it in movies (and TV) for years to come.

My favorite by far is Batman Returns, which almost seemed like a tribute to the Wilhelm scream.

The scream is probably most famous because it’s used so much in George Lucas movies that you could almost call it the Lucas scream.

Also, how crappy would it be to have your last words be, “Yeah, I’ll just fill my pipe! AAYYAAHHHGGG!”
