FX/SFX: Everything!

Cheesy Factor: Of course, is colored pencils suppose to be in the late 70s and early 80s, and made a old way of drawing the MCA logo?

Music/Sounds: A writing sound, and then the engines flying under the MCA logo.

Availability: It appeared on early Betamax and VHS releases, meaning it is almost out of print and difficult to find. It could be seen on Sony old Video EPs, just like PolyGram Music Video. It does appear on early Boston videos, such as Live at Chicago Stadium.

(1983-1993)

Nickname: "The Scariest Laserwriter"

Logo: We see the black floor, and there is a half-M in the beginning, and then later, the laserwriter makes the words "a half-M and the rest are full CA's", and then it goes to a zoom in of the words "Music Entertainment"

FX/SFX: The laserwriter making the word "MCA".

Music: There is half of Viacom's "V of Doom" music, and then suddenly, the music of THX.

Availability: Surprisingly common; seen on a lot of VHS releases, and some Betamax releases, which it was in "The Best Classics of Boston", and "MCA's Greatest Hits!'. The last releases was to be included is "Tom and Jerry: The Movie Soundtrack".

Scare Factor: High to NIGHTMARE; The music is a nightmare, because it has the music of V of Doom, which can remind of Viacom's zooming V and music, and the THX music can cause THXphobia. And one of the scariest laserwriter music ever, and it can also remind that their worst nightmares is the old "Viacom".
