Greetings Colin and Gang, One of most interestingSFX was the
"death-ray" used by the Martians in 1953 sci-fi classic "War Of The Worlds."
So good the sound was, that Paramount used the effect 13 years laterfor
Star-Trek's photon torpedoes.I believe that sound was created by hitting a steel guy-wire for a huge
vertical antenna. ....somewhere..... Was then post-processed thru sometype of
early reverb or delay . The Harry Chamberlin era......Cheers, -- Jerry Korb (can only do the classic beer-belch, Bwwwaaaa!)
