ThrillerVideo

Background

(February 1985-1986)

Nickname: "Elvira presents ThrillerVideo"

Logo: We can see a plaque on which appears a skull placed symmetrically. To the left and right are scroll-shaped decorations. Below is the phrase "ThrillerVideo" in a fancy font. All seems to be made in stone, which actually could be a clay model.

Variant: On some releases, we zoom out of this logo, which is revealed we are on Elvira's show set, and Elvira herself starts the feature.

FX/SFX: It's just a model.

Music/Sounds: Either the Elvira music or on regular releases, the same music from Sybil Danning's Adventure Video, which in turn was sourced from Killing Machine (AKA: Goma-2), released as part of the latter connection.

Availability: Found on tapes from the home video series, which themselves can be pretty rare.

Editor's Note: None.
