Great Special Effects Sounds October 11, 2017, 09:10:53 pm While watching the new Star Wars trailer, it struck me, is there a more iconic special effects sound than the Star Wars Light Sabre?[flash=560,315]https://www.youtube.com/v/Q0CbN8sfihY?start=23&end=27[/flash]I cannot think of any specific sounds although I thought of plenty, The Predator, Alien, Darth Vader, Cylons, Star Trek Tricorder, etc., etc..Any thoughts?
Re: Great Special Effects Sounds Reply #1 – October 11, 2017, 09:34:08 pm There won't be because nothing is as big as star wars.One special effects sound that got my attention in a way i don't think any other has.[flash=200,200]https://www.youtube.com/v/gdqsNBQ1ibM[/flash]Love my horror movies, and obviously TCM '74 is iconic. However, sitting in a cinema ignoring the trailers before some film, that sound came on. It got my attention straight away and it wasn't until i heard it again that i picked where it was from. It was the teaser for a new remake and it played over a black screen. Don't even know if the movie was finished when they did the teaser, but it was a masterstroke to their target audience.A simple sound that conjures up so much imagery and emotion.

As soon as I heard them it took me back to Return Of The Jedi

Good memories as a kid hearing that thing go off The Wilhelm Scream...think of westerns when cowboys and Indians scream as they get shot/impaled.Man, I miss being a Kid in the 80’s. was a bloody fantastic
