EDKO Home Video

Background: EDKO Home Video (or kino-Video as of 1992) was a small project started by EDKO in Germany to distribute translated tapes over the country. It was created in late 1992 and lasted only two years, when Peakshow Cinema bought home video operations from EDKO and merged into newly created Peakshow Home Video.

(1992 - 1995)

Nickname: "The Ripple Obelisk"

Logo: We can see the lines drawing the obelisk, the same as in the movie logo. Then the obelisk made of lines is colored, and the name fades in the same time. The picture with its outline then ripple and blur into nothing, leaving only EDKO Home Video text. The remains also clear out soon.

FX: Ripple effects.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Near extinction, due to its very short life span. It is only known to exist on old tapes of Die Sunnengott, when newer ones replace the logo with Time Filmverleih entry. It appeared as well on the German prints of Andamance's Le Lutin D' Or and Le Decalage Argente. These tapes are long out of print, and DVD's are distributed by other companies.

Scare Factor: None.
