You either know what I’m talking about or don’t know what I’m talking about but have experienced it.

Sometimes one wanders the Internet and finds something interesting that leads to something else that leads to a great payoff?

Well, I very recently learned that around 1953, a character named Wilhelm screamed in a cowboy movie when he got hit by an arrow.

The rest is literally history. The sound effect found itself in a database of movie effects. If you’ve watched any George Lucas movies, you’ve heard it. By some counts, it’s in 141 movies.

And now that you’ve heard it, you will now recognize it forevermore. Enjoy!
