When I was little, TV shows and movies apparently liked to make their production logos creepy. That logo that appeared either in the beginning of a VHS tape or DVD or in the end was enough to get some of us to not sneak out of our rooms at night and watch our favorite shows/movies. And as I grew older, I’d be confirmed of the fact I wasn’t the only person caught off-guard, as there is a whole genre of discussion around it. Which one would strike the scariest vibes in you?

Not TV or movie, but as a kid, this scared me …

Production logos are fine for me, I don’t have any memories about them.

Tangential comment here… not scary or creepy, but this has become my favorite logo.

Hooray! Someone has my phobia as well!

EDIT: I think videotape bumpers scare me a lot whether they’re Paramount or WDHV at the time.

“And now, our feature presentation!” Yeesh.

Or do company bumpers on VHS not count?

The neversoft eyeball in the beginning of the tony hawk games used to creep me out.

For anyone not familiar the intro would show the neversoft text and then the eyeball would be skewkered.

Worse than this, was their logo video for Tony Hawk’s Underground, where Eric the rival character gets attacked and pulled into the sewers by the T.H.I.N.G. and gets reduced to bones.
