(1982?)

Logo: On a black background, we see the words:

JIMMY MASLON
ERIC J. CALDIN
present

Then we fade to the text:

A
SHOCK FILM
COMPANY
PRESENTATION

The lightning strikes "SHOCK FILM", turning red and damaged.

FX/SFX: The text fading in and out, the lightning striking the text, the text turning red and torn up.

Music/Sounds: A eerie synth fanfare, which is actually a stock music piece "Music, Drama, Billboard, Symphonic 02" from the Sound Ideas Series 1000 sound effects library, accompanied by a whoosh and a stock thunderclap from the Cinesound/BBC sound effects library (the same thunderclap used on the Ismail Productions, Lightning Video and Southern Star/Hanna-Barbera Australia logos).

Availability: Seen on post-1982 prints of “The Wizard of Gore” (1970).

Editor's Note:A pretty low-budget 80s logo; despite it trying to be scary, it doesn't do as good a job compared to other “scary” professional logos like the Viacom “V of Doom” and the Screen Gems “S from Hell."
