It's been quite the educational week...Have you ever noticed a familiar sounding scream in a movie? Did it sound like this?
That's the Wilhelm Scream, popping up in movies since 1951. Lots of movies. Star Wars seems to be responsible for its re-popularization and apparently it's a big in-joke amongst sound editors.
The suspected screamer is Sheb Wooley. (Also responsible for the Purple People Eater.) Entertaining.
Check out this Short film on it's history.
It's a totally weird sounding scream, though.
