Decapitation sound effect?

["Evil" Aidy]

Bit of an odd request, but has anyone got a decapitation sample or sound effect or know where I could get one from?

It's a bit obscure I know!

Yeah, foley artists do guillotine sounds by running a knife down a metal pole (blade being dropped), thwacking the knife into a cabbage (decapitation) and dropping the cabbage into a bucket (the head dropping into the bucket).

Celery is widely used too in varying forms (bones breaking, snapping..)

Seems like food stuff is the way to go!

Since we're on the subject of sampling, I was wondering if anyone can advise the best way to go to record sounds outside the studio? What portable recording devices for the freelance engineer are available?

Thanks

I know a lot of people use a Zoom H2. My Dad has one, and it seems like a nice little unit.

I may be a purist, but when I want a sound of something, I go to the source...

That being said... you wouldn't look for brutal metal guitar tone in a kick drum...

na'mean?

Thanks for all the help and advice everyone!

I may just have sample myself decapitating someone

I did some foley work for a Quake 2 addon back in the 90's. A good rule of thumb: The produce section of the grocery store is your friend! Mangos are great for "blood & guts" sound effects!

I did something similar a while back when a band asked me to make a brutal intro track. I found a slicing sound effect, then I recorded myself squeezing the water out of a towel onto a trash bag, to make it sound like spilling blood. I was pretty pleased with how eerie it sounded.

I'm a big fan of close-mic'd celery.

I'm gonna figure out how I can get a big swoosh sound, like a big knife followed by a big cabbage gory hit kinda sound and then a few thumps for the head rolling on the floor...

This struck me as totally relevant to this thread. Enjoy
