lol I remember this logo as a kid. I knew I was going to be in for a raunchy, expletive-filled time whenever I saw that. Memories!

This is NOT SCARY. It's a little intimidating but it's far from scary.

@SnugglySara Yes that it exactly how I remember it....

Wow, never heard that sting before the "Feature Presentation" part before. That was neat.

@stcml OMG Totally! When the guy's voice came on saying "the following movie is rated R" I'd turn the sound down so my parents couldn't hear it through the floor downstairs .. gawd!

Makes me want to watch my old VHS tapes from the 80s.

I have to wonder if this was in part influenced by a lot of theater chains and their policy trailers. I've seen some on here that also included the upbeat music. It's meant to get you pumped before a movie. :D

I remember HBO using the outer space intro all the way up to 2000 i think.. They should have kept it going.. I like this intro with the different ending sound.. That didn't last long.. HBO did also use different ending sounds for games, shows etc..

Shown before Fraggle Rock!

this takes me back to the days when movies were worth watching.

I hear where you're commin from man. I'm 26, and I still remember seeing this logo like it wasn't too long ago. The 80s is a decade that will never be forgotten for it has marked the age of so many wonderful and innovative things that continue to influence many of us to this day.
