Warning: On a black background, we see the warning text, with "WARNING:" in red, and the rest of the text in white and in capital letters, with "WESTERN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC." in larger letters (on some videos, it varies: the Sesame Street ones use "CHILDREN'S TELEVISION WORKSHOP and MUPPETS, INC." and Herbert the Timid Dragon and Other Tales uses "MERCER MAYER" instead.).

Variants:
  • Some tapes rephrase the warning to refer to video adaptions instead of motion pictures, although the warnings on tapes that credit "Children's Television Workshop and Muppets, Inc.", refer to both.
  • Some tapes have a blue background.
  • Starting in 1986, the warning text is rephrased and/or in a different font .
  • On Canadian releases, the warning text is phrased and in capitals.
FX/SFX: None.

Availability: Seen on all videos from this era with the 1985-1986 music and the scary "Space" closing logo at the end, including the early Golden Step Ahead releases, and on some 1986 Golden Book Video releases using the 1986-1996 music.

Scare Factor: Low to medium.
