Q. Regarding your recent item about the Wilhelm Scream, I must recommend a clip I saw on YouTube, "The Wilhelm Scream Compilation," which plays a long series of film clips containing the scream. Hearing it over and over, in quick succession and in such a diverse variety of films, is hilarious.

A. The Wilhelm Scream is a scream first recorded in 1951 and so beloved by sound-effects artists that it has been used in at least 175 movie since. Thanks to you, I viewed the YouTube compilation. A scream is worth a thousand words.
