What Is the Wilhelm Scream?

Many filmmakers are known for small signatures that they always put inside their films. Alfred Hitchcock always used himself in a cameo. George Lucas always found a way to integrate the number 1138. Quentin Tarrentio almost always mentions the fictional "Big Kahuna Burger."

And Stan Lee, of course, has found his way into every Marvel Movie.

However, there is one film signature that is shared by a wide range of movie makers and has appeared in hundreds of films. You’ve probably come across it even if you didn’t realize it.

Learn more about the Wilhelm Scream, where it came from, and how it spread on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
