Stock Scream

""AAAAAAAAAAAARGHHH!!!""

- Every movie with the Wilhelm Scream in it.

""Wilhelm's on Mars now? Man, that guy gets around.""

- Unskippable

Overused Stock Sound Effects can screw with a TV viewer's attention span—repeated use makes them instantly recognizable to those in the know. One of the worst offenders is the Stock Scream—one of several vocal effects used when a character has to scream and the sound the actor recorded isn't loud or piercing enough. From the popularity of some stock "scream" effects, you would think they were the only ones in existence. Currently there are about 15 commonly used stock screams, most of which have yet to be named.

Wilhelm Scream Examples
 9FHw2aItRlw The "Wilhelm Scream" has been a running joke among sound editors for decades, to the point that whole websites exist for tracking its appearances, and the Internet Movie Database often includes instances of the Wilhelm in its trivia entries for movies and shows. Some directors, notably Quentin Tarantino, Peter Jackson and George Lucas, make a point of using the Wilhelm in all their action movies. It was recorded for and first used in the 1951 film Distant Drums when a soldier is attacked by an alligator, and it got its name from the character Private Wilhelm, who used it in the 1953 movie The Charge At Feather River, the second movie it appeared in.

(others are: Stormtrooper in the carbonite chamber, soldier in Naboo hangar, person in Coruscant landing platform, and clone trooper in exploding ship-to-ship gun)

Western Animation

Films -- Live-Action

 * Left out by the main villain Three Finger in Wrong Turn 3 Left for Dead when his Outside Ride comes to sudden stop.
 * Another famous Stock Scream is the Howie Long Scream, named for its best-known appearance in John Woo's Broken Arrow, when Howie's villain character was kicked through the wall of a train car and off a bridge, and basically sounds like EEERRRAAAUUUAAAGGGHHH! Apparently its official name is "Gut Wrenching With Fall", which frankly sums it up pretty nicely.
 * As noted in the beginning of that clip, the scream is heard when your character takes a fatal fall in Dark Forces.
 * In House of Frankenstein, when the monster throws Daniel out the window, Boris Karloff's monster death scream from Son of Frankenstein is played.

 * Also used in the Cloak and Dagger movie when a man falls down several flights of stairs.
 * Jackie Chan's movie The Medallion uses this scream twice, but in both instances it relates to the titular item. Jackie's character "releases" the scream at one point.

 * The obscure B-movie Cage 2: Arena of Death has a truly baffling example: after the first cage match, a guy in the background cheers by doing the scream.
 * Trailer Park Boys has its own unique scream: Virtually every time a scene devolves into chaos or brawling, an off-screen character (eventually named Donny) yells "WHAT IN THE ****?!!"
 * Tropic Thunder uses this one in a scene or two, with a latter sequence being absolutely hilarious due to it - the scream is much higher pitched and childish, but definitely the stock effect.
 * James Bond has its own version of this. No fewer than five different characters scream to their gravity-assisted deaths in the space of five films. (Four of them were by the same director, John Glen.) Watch this video and learn.
 * Roger Moore has a very distinctive scream that shows up in his later Bond movies. Its especially noticeable when he is dangling from the blimp and takes a Groin Attack by an antenna on the Trans-America Pyramid as he zooms past in A View to a Kill.

 * The B-movie Dragon Wars did the scream twice. Narmtastic since the first screamer was an ancient Japanese peasant the second was a modern day U.S. soldier. Apparently half a world and one thousand years dividing these people didn't change how people scream as they are crushed under the foot of a stegosaurus looking dragon.
 * The "Insane Tantrum" is often used whenever someone is horribly injured. It sounds kind of like a siren and goes "EEEAH! EEEEAH! EEEEAH!" See the beginning of this video for reference.
 * There's one (this troper's only seen it in Star Wars movies, Episodes 4 and 1, to be precise) that sounds likes someone yelling "Help!"
 * The Lord of the Rings movies have someone yell "Watch out!" whenever a catapult is about to hit, though it's only used once in the second and third movies, respectively.
 * Also, a yell from the Final Destination plane crash scene is reused when the Uruk-hai archers fire crossbows at the elves in The Two Towers.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it?
 * Many First Person Shooters use ubiquitous stock screams for their death sounds, such as in Red Faction and Soldier of Fortune II.
 * Dead Space.
 * Crowd reaction: shock. It sounds like a lot of people gasping or saying "oh" surprisedly at the same time. Occurs in Super Smash Bros. among a million other things.
