I've always found the Wilhelm Scream a bit intriguing, but there's no good centralized website for browsing and cataloging all its appearances. So I built one!
Anyone can easily add or edit entries. The goal is to document every Wilhelm Scream with timestamps, YouTube clips, and details for all movies and TV series.
Check it out and feel free to contribute! :)
