As well as some of theLogo description and capture by MachineryNoise

(1986-1997)

Nickname: "Spiral M"

Logo: Against a grey, cloudy sky, a rainbow ribbon comes up from the bottom of the screen. The rainbow glides around to the right, and then twists itself into an “M”. The rainbow “M” turns gold from left to right while a beam goes through it from right to left. Two more beams shoot underneath the “M” from right to left, leaving behind the words "MALOFILM" and "VIDEO".

FX: Some early CGI from the looks of it…

Cheesy Factor: …which many will find quite cheesy.

Music: A THX-esque noise which leads into a synthesized seven note tune.

Availability: You’re probably going to have to look through some old, Canadian tapes to find it. One tape it’s available on is for the movie Leprechaun. This is also on their print of Monty Python & The Holy Grail. As well as some of the Scanners movies.

Scare Factor: Low to medium; the THX-esque noise alone might get some adrenaline pumping. Also, the dark, cloudy background and beams will probably add to the scariness.
