Origins of Sci/Fi Sound Effects

Here is a fun article I think everyone here might enjoy about the origins of classic Sci/Fi movie sounds like Lightsabers and the Predator's heartbeat. The origin stories are good, and some of the old footage of waving microphones in front of speakers during the Star Wars sessions is fantastic...

Who the hell knew a baby raccoon sounded like some kind of hideous alien creature

 

A few decades ago, we had an adopted female cat who hadn't been fixed yet. One day she went into serious, all-star heat. I grabbed by trusty Uher and Sony Electret Cardioid (told you it was a few decades ago...)

 

You'd be amazed how many times that hideous -- yet emotional -- cat growl managed to sell a monster scene.
