Variant: On a Canadian film print of Asylum, the rectangle is dark magenta and the outlines are blue, orange, and red.
FX/SFX: 2D animation of the filmreels.
Music/Sounds: A creepy warbling, ascending Moog synthesizer, which is not too dissimilar to the 1970s Public Broadcasting Service and Children's Television Workshop logos.
