Key: Additions Deletions
Compiled by Treg Smithee
Background: Ghost House Pictures was established in 2002 by Sam Raimi (see also Renaissance Pictures) and Robert Tapert to produce high-concept horror films. Its theatrical films are produced with Mandate Pictures.
1st Logo
(2002- )
Logo: In dim light, an old door slams shut by itself. The view moves to the door's keyhole, through which a skull suddenly moves into view. The view pulls back to show the skull vignetted in the keyhole. As the view pulls back, the words "GHOST" and "HOUSE" materialize in a "ghostly" manner in white on either side of the keyhole, and "PICTURES" appears underneath in smaller text.
FX: The door slamming shut (by itself! Oooo!), the camera moving around the door, the skull appearing. The effects here are at least equivalent to whatever movie it is attached to.
Cheesy Factor: The movement of the skull seems mechanical, almost like in a haunted house -- but that may be deliberate.
Music/Sounds: A loud bang when the door slams, and typical spooky horror movie music with a a child singing wordlessly, and a loud slam when the door closes.
Availability: Common. Also viewable on the splash screen of Ghost House's website.
Scare Factor: High, but then this is although here that is actually the point. The skull appearing may be a surprise at first, but the loud door slam is startling even if you know it is coming.
