The Wilhelm Scream is the famous stock scream heard in Star Wars, Indiana Jones and countless films. Creators use it for funny falls, fails and deaths.

The Wilhelm Scream is one of the most recognisable sounds in cinema: a dramatic, slightly over-the-top male scream that slides from a sharp yelp into a warbling fall-off, lasting just over a second. It was originally recorded in the early 1950s for a Western and later revived by sound designer Ben Burtt, who planted it in Star Wars and Indiana Jones as an in-joke. Hearing it never lands seriously; audiences instantly recognise the gag and laugh, which is why editors drop it into game clips, memes and home videos to turn any tumble, crash or dramatic defeat into comedy gold.

The Wilhelm Scream was first recorded in 1951 for the Warner Bros. Western Distant Drums and is widely credited to voice actor and singer Sheb Wooley. It earned its name from Private Wilhelm, a character who screams it in the 1953 film The Charge at Feather River. Sound designer Ben Burtt rediscovered the effect and deliberately hid it in Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark and many later films, turning it into a famous in-joke. Today editors, gamers and meme makers recognise it instantly and use it as shorthand for a comically dramatic fall.

Drop the Wilhelm Scream the exact frame a character starts falling, never before the motion reads. Keep it loud under the action, then cut it hard on impact. Avoid sad music or slow motion, which kills the joke.
