Title: Those who stretch their lungs. Post by: Flangepart on June 09, 2011, 02:11:23 PM Whats with the screaming?
I was listening to a CD I made of the Toho film music. I had some trailer audio included, and one was from 'IT Terror from beyond space' And I realised, 'hey, there are some guys screaming in there.' Sooooo... Two questions: What would you say is the percentage of male vs. female screaming incidents in your average film. And, what guy had the best lung stretcher of a scream that you can remember. I'll allow death scream, as there are a lot of them. P.S. What was the most amusing scream? Unintentional and contextually mucked up types allowed. Title: Re: Those who stretch their lungs. Post by: akiratubo on June 09, 2011, 02:15:31 PM Eastern movies typically have much more male screaming. In Western movies, it's usually females screaming while the man just assumes a horrified expression. If a man does scream in a Western movie, it's usually to show that he's a coward a effeminate.
A notable exception is the movie Poltergeist. The Dad gets one of the greatest, and most justified, movie screams ever. Title: Re: Those who stretch their lungs. Post by: Flick James on June 09, 2011, 02:50:01 PM One of the best all-out screams I can think of was in the Coen Brothers movie Barton Fink. John Turturro (sic?) let's out a doozy when he wakes up to find a dead woman next to him.
The scream/yell from the movie producer in The Godfather when he wakes up next to the severed horse head. Title: Re: Those who stretch their lungs. Post by: claws on June 09, 2011, 03:14:11 PM Most amusing male scream: the guy in the small plane in Kingdom of the Spiders. Kills me every time.

Post by: Silverlady on June 09, 2011, 05:24:27 PM In the movie The Lost World:Jurassic Park, there is a scene where the T Rex is running amuck in San Diego knocking over cars, buses and what have you. One not so lucky guy making a B Line for a phonebooth (?) doesn't quite make it. The T Rex grabs him, lifts him in the air, and the guy lets out this really pathetically lame scream. I'd almost swear just as the T Rex chomps down on the guy you can hear a glub, glub kind of sound. Title: Re: Those who stretch their lungs.
