Background
Fox Hills Video was a video label founded by Heron Communications in 1986 to release special interest videos and obscure B-movies. It was named after Fox Hills, a neighborhood in Culver City, California which was located near Media Home Entertainment's headquarters. This company lasted until 1990.
(1986-1990)
Nicknames: "The Shapes", "The Fox", "The Fox's Head", "The CGI Fox Head"
Logo: On a gray background, 6 silver bars fly in from the bottom-right and form a stylized fox head, then the words "FOX HILLS VIDEO" stacked word-by-word, zoom out and settle to the right of the design. The fox head shines from the bottom-right to the top-left, and a Heron Communications byline fades in underneath.
FX/SFX: Nice CGI animation for 1986.
Music/Sounds: A mysterious, dreamy tune when we see the shapes, then followed by a five-note fantasy-oriented synthesizer fanfare.
Availability: Seen on such releases like early Kathy Smith workout tapes, as well as tapes of old NFL moments and copies of Zombie Island Massacre, Unsane (Tenebre), and Thrillkill, among others. Starting in 1990, the Video Treasures logo would appear after that.
