P--I--C--T--U--R--E--S
Variant: There is also a variant with a more slanted and stylized look to it. However, as far as this Wiki can tell, this was mostly used on posters and some VHS boxes, and never as an actual on-screen logo.
Trivia: This logo is somewhat similar to the October Films logo, as it uses the same font and mostly the same text design.

FX/SFX: None.

Availability: Can be found on possibly international prints of Night of the Demons (where it plasters the Paragon Arts logo) as well as Mutant on the Bounty, the international version of The Outing (AKA: The Lamp) (Don't expect it on the Scream Factory Blu-Ray as it goes directly to the movie), Deranged (1987), and The Laughing Dead, among others. It may also be seen on foreign prints of Star Crystal, Beverly Hills Brats, Destroyer, and Jackals (AKA: American Justice), among possible others.
