Paramount Pictures (1969)

[Childist2]

I want to see this movie! Where did you find it?

[vinylrecord68]

Not only was from the first "ABC Movie of the Week", it was also Paramount's first TV movie.

[bogercs]

Creepy Creatures lurk on mt. Paramount.

[rcknrol1]

Meet the Closet Killer's kinder, gentler cousin, the Closet Creeper.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

Do you have the complete version of the 1970 Paramount movie logo with the (complete) Lalo Schifrin music as seen on "Dr. Cook's Garden"?

[collegeman1988]

I could just imagine this opening to the David Fincher film "Zodiac" which had a retro Paramount Logo -- all it needs is the "closet killer" music to accompany it.

[Thekinggamelon]

0:00 Lol! No background!

[collegeman1988]

Do you have this movie? I remember seeing it in the middle of the night about 30 years ago and I distinctly remember that scary sounding closet killer music at the beginning of the movie.

[MattTheSaiyan]

They should bring this logo back just to annoy people.

[neoprankster]

@MattTheSaiyan Yeah I agree.

[1soniccool]

this was on a Spoof of the Closet Killer logo by ShaDeed329

[LogicSmash]

@1soniccool WHICH jingle was extracted from the audio file I posted on the CLG.

[bWildcat1]

@LogicSmash 6 seconds is not long on tv?

[burger414]

This IS a rare find!

[warlaker]

The original, full-length Closet Killer is a great find, but it just doesn't have the same shock factor as the 1 we know.

[dondonp12004]

@ClassicTVMan81 Not necessarily.

[Suitsnappy]

This should've been the TV logo. Imagine this after The Brady Bunch. {{-_-}}

[LogicSmash]

@Suitsnappy Well, this was indeed "too long" for television

[Suitsnappy]

@LogicSmash That wasn't long whatsoever.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@LogicSmash

It could have worked there, given that the Sony Pictures Television logo has both short and long jingles.

[lovelychick84]

@Suitsnappy OMG!!! No more "Closet Killer" jingles after the Brady Bunch. There's only one out there. There shouldn't be anymore. I remember watching an episode of it and the "Closet Killer" jingle came on afterwards when I was 9. It was a good episode too. The jingle scarred me for life. lol.

[cybertronization]

That is SOOOO rare!!! Thanks, LogicSmash!!! :-)

[LogicSmash]

@cybertronization You're welcome.

[Beagle7788]

Nice find!! :D And almost to 1,000 videos!! ;)

[LogicSmash]

@Beagle7788 Thanks

[sexymama1966]

wow!

[coleyd]

wow now that's a rare find! awesome upload!

[LogicSmash]

@coleyd Thanks.

[ShaDeed329]

Ohhhhh! I got to thinking of the 1969 Paramount Television logo! Whoops!

[JeterSwisherFan88]

@ShaDeed329 Maybe this was the source from which the music for the 1969 Paramount TV logo itself came?

[ShaDeed329]

Read the description.

[kc86er]

"Seven in Darkness" was the very first ABC "Movie of the Week". It was a TV movie about a plane full of blind people which crashes in the wilderness.

[TerryT1976]

@kc86er Interestingly, I found out that the pilot movie for "Love, American Style" was originally supposed to be the first ABC Movie of the Week but it premiered as a regular series a week later.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@kc86er

"Terror in the Sky" was another, which had aired in 1971. At the beginning, the 1968 logo is accompanied by a long version of the 1970 "Color ID" jingle.

Recent prints replace the 1968 opening logo with the 1989 version (w/ white Paramount Communications byline as used from 1991-94), w/o any music, while the 1969 TV logo at the end went AWOL in favor of the '91 TV logo, with the '70 jingle intact.

[kc86er]

@ClassicTVMan1981X I wish I knew how the long version of the Lalo Schifrin "Color ID" jingle sounded; would you say it was tamer or scarier than the TV version?

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@kc86er

Again I haven't discovered it yet. The long version was also orchestrated by Jack Hayes.

[kc86er]

@ClassicTVMan1981X How do you know about that?

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@kc86er

The jingle is officially called "Paramount Music Logo #6" or "LS Logo."
