15 Beloved Movies That Did Oddball Things To Make Sound Effects

The skeletons’ sound effects in Coco were made with a “bone orchestra” that involved 100% real bones. Here’s the full story, plus 14 others:

15

pixar used some actual bones to get the sound effects they needed for Coco. In a barn, they put together a sort of bone orchestra that consisted of bones, wood blocks, petrified wood, and musical instruments. CRACKED.COM — Source

14

The on-screen sound of the Ark in Raiders of the Lost Ark is .. very profane. To get the sound of the lid of the Ark of the Covenant sliding off for the movie, they recorded the sound of a toilet tank cover being removed. CRACKED.COM — Source

13

Tuco breaking Lars' and Cal's legs in Better Call Saul involved pig squeals. They used those sounds, among others creator Vince Gilligan wanted those screams to sound absolutely horrific, and pig squeals were part of the solution. CRACKED.COM — Source

12

The sound of people kissing on-screen is of someone kissing their hand. That's how Foley artists, who do sound effects for movies, record kissing sounds they literally rely on their own lips and hands. CRACKED.COM — Source

11

A Dunkirk sound effect relied on a billiard ball bumping around in a dryer. Sound designer and supervising sound editor Richard King recorded that for the sound of a crank shaft broken in a plane's engine. CRACKED.COM — Source

10

For the sound of dragon wings in Game of Thrones, they used leather. Leather jackets, specifically- that, canvas, and a shammy (a new shammy that has never been wet, it has a really nice heavy sound to it, apparently). CRACKED.COM — Source

9

They used a tornado for the sound of the Shadow Monster in Stranger Things. They combined that with various insect and bug sounds-- The idea was to make it ominous and also fit in the landscape of the show. CRACKED.COM — Source

8

The sound of Godzilla's cry in the 1998 movie was partly a human sound. Gery Hecker, who was doing sound effects including Godzilla's roar, combined a metal sound with his own voice to get the effect you hear in the movie. CRACKED.COM — Source

7

The sound effect for the creatures in A Quiet place Part II was made with grapes That was for their searching mode, anyway those clicks were the sound of a stun gun pressed against grapes pitched down. CRACKED.COM — Source

6

Jurassic World's Indominus Rex uses the sounds of foxes, among other things. The sound of fennec foxes was one of the great sounds, the erratic squeal, says supervising sound designer and editor Al Nelson. CRACKED.COM — Source

5

The sound effects in Spielberg's Lincoln are, uh, almost flawlessly authentic. The crew got permission to enter the White House and record the sounds there (including the clock that was actually in Lincoln's office). CRACKED.COM — Source

4

The Ringwraiths' screams in Lord of the Rings were plastic cup and seal sounds. The crew bought plastic cups at Target, recorded the sound of them scraping, then added that to the sounds of harbor seals to get the effect. CRACKED.COM — Source

3

The sounds of Black Panther's flying craft were actually the sounds of birds. The crew took African birdcalls, then they'd pitch them and slow them down, and those became the tonal signatures to the spaceships. CRACKED.COM — Source

2

Packaged livers turned out to be a crucial factor for the sound of Spielberg's ET. The sound of packaged liver moving around in a flat container was used, among others, for the sound of the movement of ET himself. CRACKED.COM — Source

1

The squeaks of the rats in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade weren't rats. Instead of recording a horde of angry rats, they actually used high-pitched, annoyed chicken chirps... and, well, it apparently worked. CRACKED.COM — Source
