Why these were so creepy was that they played after the closing credits, and so one of them tended to be the last thing we saw and heard before our parents turned the TV off for the night. Then I would wake up in the middle of the night with one of the logos playing over and over in my head, and I would imagine words or symbols suddenly appearing in the middle of the room, with nobody to help me.

[@brandonpage7087]

Micheal Hayes, I've had that same theory myself, as to why we find certain logos to be creepy or scary. I know the ones that made me nearly piss myself, growing up! It just may have something to do with seeing these before bedtime.

[@mmmmmh2851]

Sameee

[@jerricherribomb]

You’re not alone. I have a very similar story to tell myself. I used to watch compilations like these throughout my childhood, so I’ve always deemed certain logos “scary” and whatnot. Therefore, I developed a fear of black screens, especially TVs that were turned off, since most of these logos were set on black backgrounds. I remember one night before bed when I was 8, my dad called me into the living room to “come look at the black screen.” I was terrified, and I found myself unable to do it, despite the mild lighting and my dad being in the room with me. For years, I always slept with a night light, or I covered my screens with blankets. Once, I was so petrified of the blackness around me that I tried to keep my eyes open as I slept! Now, I sleep with light jazz music playing on my phone, but completely in the dark.

something about disembodied artificial shapes floating in space juxtaposed with these loud, jarring synth stingers is just creepy as all get out. I feel the same way about the old BBC Protect and Survive videos, though at least those had CONTEXT that could kind of explain the creep factor. i remember a lot of these from my childhood, but never thought i was particularly affected by them...and then a few months back, i had to stream some old 70s shows for my History of TV class. i don't know what it was, but the Worldvision logo zooming out at me gave me the sudden urge to hide under the covers. also, the SFM logo can go eff itself.

I have this weird thing where I can't watch logos at the end of movies. The beginning is perfectly fine-- I've been obsessed with logos since I was little, so I get really hyped about them at the beginning-- but for some reason it just feels wrong to watch them at the end. Same with post-credits scenes; they just feel really cursed for some reason, like you're watching the movie cling to life as it dies or something.

​@@MsNooneinparticular I massively agree! My older brother is a massive horror nut (currently working at Spirit Halloween) and when we were kids in the early 2010s, one of his favorite past-times was browsing the internet and looking at creepypasta content. Bar the heavily edited version of the Smile Dog image, and the images that were associated with the SpongeBob bootleg and Plankton Got Served stories, none of it really scared me as much as I just found it fascinating. But The Dawn is Your Enemy, PFFR Productions, and Timpson Film's *extremely* graphic and disgusting 3rd logo were way out of my league, and as a result I wouldn't even touch those ones.

[@alphawander]

Gonna be honest, I feel like this is some psychological phenomenon that it isn't really the logo itself (though the sounds play a part), but rather the fact that the VHS tape is through playing, you have a feeling of eerie loneliness. You favorite characters in media are no longer on screen to keep you company followed by an unsettling and unfamiliar sound effect with a sense of silence afterwards in a giant empty bedroom or living room (depending on where your VHS player was located) with no other souls around. You wonder what's there left? No one. Or I could just be talking out of my ass, IDK

[@ihavesnacks4186]

It’s weird that I’m searching for logos that scared me as a kid. Maybe I’m just curious and wanting to find out why I was so afraid. I remember this one that would come on at the end of a TLC show about pregnancy and birth. Upbeat music was playing and the logo was a black void with something white in the middle I didn’t remember what. There was the Moon rising on the side but while that was going on a baby cried. Then the TLC logo came on. I finally found it. The show was called A Baby Story and the logo was for Pie Town Productions. It didn’t look exactly as I remembered it. The “Moon” was a pie, the thing in the middle was a town and there was red letters saying Pie Town Productions but as soon as I heard that familiar crying which sounded just like I remembered it I felt a wave of nostalgia, relief as I found the name of the logo..... and dread. This weird dread. I’ve been feeling like this all day. I’m not one to suspect it’s a supernatural thing of course but I am still creeped out. I keep watching it to figure out why. Anyone know? Here’s a clip of it if anyone is curious. But if you’ve had a bad history with logos like this then be careful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoTVfGlsobatrrc

[@funnymime123]

Wow. WOW, what a specific memory. My mom used to watch this show every day, and I totally remember this logo now. I don’t remember being all that scared of it, though, and I think part of the reason is that the baby is crying in key with the music, so it wasn’t all that bad.

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

That was the Pie Productions logo. I know since I watched A Baby Story a lot during my teenage years.
