 | | bezoar: | The sound of the phaser in the original Star Trek TV series was the sound of a cicada brood. I know this because I went on a camping trip in 1982, just as these little fuckers were coming out of the trees and flying everywhere. I woke up, and heard the sound of phasers, everywhere around me. Worst. camping. trip. ever.

To each his own, but I grew up in Maryland and always thought the cicaidas sounded great. I loved falling asleep to them.
my guess is they were set to "Stun"

A friend of mine worked on the "Gun out of the TV" effect", which I always thought was the coolest effect in the movie, even before I found out Rabbit (his nickname) worked on it. It might even be his hand you see...
