He also made a movie called The Trail of the Screaming Forehead (which I haven't seen yet). True, they're not perfect, but I love 'em, anyway. And that's why I wish Deak would make a feature -- he may just out-Blamire Blamire. To Muse and Anon — Larry Blamire wrote, directed, produced and starred in Lost Skeleton of Cadavra and its sequel.

It's a set in Santa Clarita with a Western street at one end, and at 0:05 is the ruined Afghani village Iron Man flies in and saves. I recognize the village in the opening.

No, the "Aaaiiieee!" happens earlier, after the guy spits out the cork and gets grabbed by three arms. (0:59 or so).

What started off as an inside joke has grown into an incredibly overused audio clip that jars me out of a program every time I hear it (which seems to be at least twice a week these days). It was fun when it began, but really, enough. I enjoyed this trailer up to that point, then just shut it off. Can I really be alone in being annoyed by the overuse of the Wilhelm Scream?

But if this were a real 50's trailer, they would have never shown the monster's face. That was always considered a privilege worth paying for. After all, the makeup was usually the most expensive thing in these movies (Yes, the Wilhelm scream deserves some credit)… But if this were a real 50′s trailer, they would have never shown the monster’s face.

Three arms is only 150% as much terror. Here's an illo I did for a "Star Wars Insider" magazine article on the Wilhelm Scream (on Jabba's sail barge in ROTJ): http://www.skatemonk.com/portfolio/illos/scream.html Just to add to the overkill.
