Background

Merlin Video was a UK pre-cert label and a subsidiary of (at the time) West German distributor VCL around the early 80s.

(May 1982-March 1984)

Nicknames: "Space and Thunder","Thunder of Doom","Cheesy Thunder", "Cheap Thunder"

Logo: We zoom in to a starfield, until we fade in into a zooming galaxy. Then suddenly, we see lightning strike, revealing dark clouds, as the Merlin Video logo zooms in, which is a steel blue-colored shield with 6 lightning bolts protruding from the top and the bottom, with "Merlin" in a very "Shakespearean" font, and "VIDEO" in a sans-serif font. Then the background turns white.

FX/SFX: The zooming and the lightning.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of thunder.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on VCL and CBS/FOX pre-cert releases in the UK. It was seen on their infamous video nasties such as Zombie Creeping Flesh, The Mad Foxes, and Massacre at Central High.
