Piercing Screams are recorded screams and yodels by some of the world's greatest exponents of such sounds.
Now, rather than let out your own, wimpy, lameass version of a howl of anguish you can simply press a concealed button or two and the tiny, powerful sound system (batteries not included) renders
the tones of Luciano Pavarotti, in a dramatic roar of pain, or Weird Al Jankovic delivering a yelp of excitement. All screams are available in MP3 and MIDI format from the website, for a small fee.
Of course, if you have your face pierced without anaesthetic then you might wish to record your own yells, to add to Piercing Scream's extensive database. Who knows, you could become Download Of The Month?

...or you could rent my nephews |

I was thinking more of the dramatic, hair-raising Foley artist kind of scream. If your nephews are good for that then they should subscribe. |

You mean you can get anaesthetic for it? Bastards! |

I will record my stepson throwing a wobbler immediately. It's very impressive how he can get his fist almost down his throat, go purple and *still* scream loud enough to rattle the windows. It lends the sound a certain, well, *gargled-ness* rarely heard outside of science fiction films of The Thing type. |

I think his endurance record is about 10 minutes without stopping while I stood and watched him in the park and waited for him to pass out so I could carry him home. Pretty good for someone who knows they won't get anything out of it anyway. |
|
| |
It takes a strong will to wait the ten minutes out, doesn't it? |
|

[Helium] [squeak], the true purpose of a little boy is to startle and astound all his relations with the puncturing intensity of his scream. I had a good laugh. Thank you! |

[UB] My will is as a shield of steel. |

And, luckily for my stepson, my sense of humour lasts as long as a jar of marmite and is lighter than a vacuum-centred balloon as he only throws wobblers *very* occasionally and is otherwise a little sunbeam. This does give him the edge at first, though, because he has the element of surprise. |

[k_sra] Also to get jam/chocolate/rather-not-know into hidden nooks, crannies and onto doorhandles to ambush the unsuspecting. |

All of those would mix into a nice
trance soundtrack. |

Many of us are immune to Weird Al
Yankovic yelps by now. :) |

Facial piercings are usually conducted without anesthetics ... I dunno about screaming ... I was smiling through all of mine :D |
|

On the other hand, I heard that there was an old sci-fi movie that had a sound that would make people vomit upon hearing the sound. Add that one in as a seperate download. |

The 'Hammer Horror' film house in the UK released an album of sound effects that were generated for their (excellent!) films.
This included the (many) occasional screams of terror, torture and moider.
Possibly the funniest annotation on the album was for the 'Instruments of Torture': Almost every torture/moider was actually committed on cabbages e.g:
Broken neck = twist cabbage stems apart
Red Hot poker in the eye = Red Hot Poker plunged into cabbage (heart).
You get the picture. |

I thought this idea was going to be about using the energy produced by the screams of people to power something. As I read the annos I learn that small children could do a better job for this and, if baked, actually make their parents rich by being put "for rent" as power generators. At least they would get something back from putting up with the trantrums. |
|
| |
pericles, have you seen Monsters, Inc.? |
|
| |
The scream should be "AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWLLLLLLL!" Because, afterawl, they're piercing. |
|
| |
[waugs] no, I haven't seen it but your comment makes me think that this has been thought of. |
|
| |
I want a portable Wilhelm. |
|
| |
That was truly awlful, [bris]. |
|
| |
I'd like to rip some of those screams onto a mini mp3 player, and slip it inside the cavity of the Thanksgiving turkey, right before carving. (insert sinister laugh here) |

Lobster being lowered into boiling water. |

Very odd, I think I found a glitch. I just hit the back button to go back to the recent page and it plunked me here.
Think Janet Leigh (sp), from Psycho. (+) |
