(1980s-1990s)

Logo: Against a black and blue gradient background, five “N”s arranged like a star zoom out onto screen, spinning quickly in a counterclockwise manner. The star slows it’s spinning and stops at the centre of the screen. An “N” duplicates from the star and flies down to the bottom-left of the screen. The words “Norstar Home Video Inc.” appear from left to right beside it. The logo fades to black.

FX/Cheesy Factor: Just some simple animation.

Music: An announcer says “The following is a Norstar Home Video release.” When the logo shows up at the end of tapes, it’s completely silent.

Availability: Rare. Go look for their tapes at a Canadian flea market or something. Ghost Fever is one of the movies they distributed.

Scare Factor: Low to medium, due to the announcer and the star’s spinning.


Norstar Entertainment Inc.
