MBO Entertainment

(1993- )

Logo: We see the animation of a TV screen turning on, and the screen fills with static. A shadowed outline of the MBO logo appears, along with "ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING". The static fades into a black background, though the logo remains, filled with static.

Trivia: This logo was based on the opening credits from Dream Here, which began with a TV set turning on to display nothing but static.

Closing Variants:

The logo turns off like a TV set. Has the byline "A Day Hesker Entertainment Company" below. It stopped on 2005.

The screen says "THIS HAS BEEN A PRESENTATION OF MOVIE BOX OFFICE". Again, turns off like a TV set. It began in the 1990s.

Later Variant: Starting in 2005, the logo was referred to as "MBO ENTERTAINMENT".

FX/SFX: The TV turning on, the fade effects.

Music/Sounds: A static sound, followed by a choir, which plays backwards on the closing variant.

Availability: Common.

Scare Factor: Low to medium; may surprise you the first time you see it, but it's otherwise harmless.
