(1980's)


Nickname
: "Paper Reveal"

Logo: On a cream colored background, we see a dark paper with "FORUM" on the paper, zooming up to us, then zooming down and in, taking the whole screen. The paper then pulls away back to the cream background, revealing that is "FORUM HOME VIDEO".

Variant: On some releases the word "FORUM" would popup on a black background.

FX/SFX: The paper motion.

Music/Sounds: Usually silent, but on some occasions it used the first few seconds of
"Where's the Walrus?" by The Alan Parsons Project.

Availability: Can be found on Scarecrows, Crystalstone, Dr. Hackenstein, No Safe Haven, Terror Squad, Return to Mayberry, Captive Rage, Dark Tower, Mob War, Search and Destroy, Covert Action, No Retreat, No Surrender 2: Raging Thunder, Perry Mason Returns, Bloodstone and Edge of the Axe, among other titles.

Editor's Note: The jingle itself may sound kind of odd, but the animation may most likely be simple.
