Someone covered a Queen song just using famous movie screams

Unless you’re a serious horror movie fan—or this guy—you've probably never thought of screaming as a particularly musical sound. We don’t know that the following video, which sets famous movie screams (and a few claps) to the rhythm and bass line of Queen’s “Another One Bites The Dust,” will necessarily change your mind, but it is an interesting demonstration of the wide range of pitches that screaming actors can produce.

Titled “Scream Queen” and uploaded by YouTube user Ryan Mitchell, the short video cuts together about a hundred screams, ranging from Home Alone to A Clockwork Orange, with stops for The 40-Year-Old Virgin and The Exorcist—among many others—along the way.

Of course, the famous Wilhelm scream is here, contributing its dulcet tones, but you’ll also be happy to learn that Arnold Schwarzenegger can always be relied on for a soothing bass bellow or three.
