- Severian 3y agoDoes anyone know of the the "other" male scream that started showing up around the mid 1990s? It's a more drawn out almost growl-like yeeeeeeeaaarrrrghhhh. Usually in action movies where someone is falling or blown off a tall building or bridge. It pops up in trailers a lot it seems around that era.
- dayofthedaleks 3y agoI believe that is "gut wrenching scream and fall into distance" I associate it with the original doom but the second link shows prior use. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/doom-characters-infamous-scream-noise.275032/ https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/doom-characters-infamo... https://remingtonsteelers.fandom.com/wiki/Gut-wrenching_Scream_And_Fall_Into_Distance https://remingtonsteelers.fandom.com/wiki/Gut-wrenching_Scre... This appears to be the original un-distorted effect: https://youtu.be/9rTa6HMi3R4 https://youtu.be/9rTa6HMi3R4
- Severian 3y agoAwesome! Thanks for the links! Sorry I didn't see this earlier, my HN app didn't notify of a reply.
- _qxjp 3y agoThis is referred to as "Gut-wrenching scream". Apologies in advance for the fandom.com link, I know the site is cluttered. There is valuable research here though: https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/Hollywoodedge,_Screams_3_Man_Gutwren_PE134401 https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/Hollywoodedge,_Screams_... The original recording date here is 1978, though it was not used until 1980. The rights to this sound started with Soundelux, then passed onto Hollywood Edge, and finally Sound Ideas (who bought Hollywood Edge in 2014).
- Severian 3y agoExcellent! Thank you!
