Wilhelm scream sightings

Just putting this out there as a 'tracker' thread.

He makes a great appearance in "Machete"

Awesome! I think its a great idea. Many think Wilhelm is not "cool" to use anymore but I love it. We recently stuck it in a feature, wonder if anyone will notice and report here :-)

As I know some people are 'pro' and some people are 'con' regarding the use of 'signature sounds', I'm just making this thread as a tracking device for those that care to post.

If they wish to discuss the usage as well, have at it!

Jeff

p.s. I have to say one of the oddest uses of the sound (I'm 99% sure that's what it is though I've never actually recorded and played back the thing to make sure) is in a lottery company's radio and tv ads. It appears briefly at the end, perhaps to sound like 'excitement' but it is cut off and just the first part of the scream. Very strange...

Ha! Nice thread. Just threw a WS into a movie that I'm working on this week.

having the WS in Machete is appropriate, if not a near requirement.

Some time ago we had this "tribute" ad aired in Spain. I could not believe it when I first heard it!

Wilhelm scream sightings

Wilhelm makes a common appearance in the game "Red Dead Redemption", which seems pretty fitting.
