Pre-digital era sound effects (Foley) were generally created in-house at the studio (like they are today), but finding and using the recording was a pain and giant sfx libraries were not really possible, so some classic sound effects got used over and over and over (and over) again. Famous Foley artist Ben Burtt gave the effect the name "Wilhelm" and used it in all of his movies as a kind of inside joke. He named the effect after a character named Pvt. Wilhelm that gets shot in the leg by an arrow (and, of course, screams) in "The Charge at Feather River" (1953). His research led him to his best guess that actor/singer Sheb Wooley is the voice behind "The Wilhelm Scream." Here are a FEW of the movies you can hear the Wilhelm scream in (I would not be surprised if it was used in a song or two or ten, but I can't think of any offhand):
"Them!" (1954), "Land of the Pharaohs" (1955), "The Sea Chase" (1955), "Sergeant Rutledge" (1960), "PT-109" (1963), "The Green Berets (1968), "The Scarlet Blade" (1974), "Star Wars" (1977), "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), "Poltergeist" (1982), "Batman Returns" (1992), "Planet of the Apes" (2001), "Agent Cody Banks" (2003), "Madagascar" (2005), "Toy Story" (1995), "Hercules" (1997), "Pirates of the Caribbean" (2003), "Beauty and the Beast" (1991), "Aladdin" (1992), "A Goofy Movie" (1995), "The Fifth Element" (1997), “The Majestic” (2001), “Just Visiting” (2001), “A Man Apart” (2003), "Tears of the Sun" (2003), "Hollywood Boulevard" (1976), "Explorers" (1985), "Gremlins 2" (1990), "The Second Civil War" (1997), “Matinee” (1993), "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" (2003)...
etc. etc. (Epic credit to Steve Lee for the research on this!)
Bonus Fun: now that you know what the Wilhelm Scream sounds like, you'll hear it all the time when watching TV!

M$So I will just stick to my 80s heavy metal selections.
There are too many to choose from so I selected two that have the best screams right up front. (to spare those less metal inclined)
Accept - Fast as a Shark (about 20 seconds in, but don't skip! it ruins the fun of it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTeXBTStek0
Metal Church - Burial at Sea
Not quite the same effect with youtube audio quality, but one of my favs

Accept! What a flashback to 83. "Balls to the wall" I used to rock Accept till my mom threw away the cassette player. :( She wasn't much for the screaming.
Yes, it was our preferred parental torture device of the day.
Back then, my mother (and my friends mothers) just assumed that every screaming metal song we listened to was Ozzy Osbourne (the devil that bit the heads off of bats)
Then we put in "fast as a shark" and they would get a puzzled look by the "hi dee hi do hi dah". And boy would we have a long haired chuckle when the screaming part started in! Ah, those were the days...
This has to be ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!! The scream that ENDED HOWARD DEANS DREAMS OF BEING PRESIDENT!!!!
seriously funny too.

They use this same scream in a lot of other things too, like in all the Indiana Jones films and even in Family Guy!!
It sounds like: "AAAAAHOOOO!!"
(I can't believe I just tried to write what that sounds like...)
However, my fave MUSIC scream is probably any one of Zac de la Rocha's screams From Rage Aganist the Machine - in particular, the one in Sleep Now in the Fire - wow, just thinking about it gives me chills!! MAN he was mad!!!

Got a pain down inside,

Yeah, every time I try,
I can't be satisfied.

I second this motion! I like to sneak the Wilhelm scream into my commercials when possible, and judging from the commercials that play in my DMA, so do a lot of other editors. :)
And I found a song! "Wilhelm Scream Dream Team"
http://webetheecho.bandcamp.com/track/wilhelm-scream-dream-team
Actually, never heard of the band before (We Be the Echo Masks), but they're pretty darn good, and the "Wilhelm Scream" in it is hysterical. Also "Yinxianghechengqi" by Tortoise apparently.
I had never heard of the "Wilhelm Scream!" That's so interesting! I found this video:
