(1985-1993?)
Nicknames: "The Walls", "Bette Midler's Least Favorite Company"
Logo: On a background of two sets of moving indigo lines, a bright flash appears and the word "MAGNUM", in light blue with a Persian blue stripe in the middle and in a slightly thinner "Frankfurter" font, zooms-in. Meanwhile, the word "Entertainment" in a in shocking pink cursive font (with the bottom line of the first "E" extended out) zooms-out underneath "MAGNUM". The word "Entertainment" would later shine and shine again a second later.
Variant: On some tapes that had previews, the words "COMING SOON" would appear before the coming attraction.
FX/SFX: The words zooming, and the indigo lines moving.
Music/Sounds: After some loud kettledrum beats, we hear a triumphant synthesized trumpet/accordion fanfare, slightly similar to the one used in King World's "Spotlights" and Camelot Entertainment Sales’ logos.
Availability: Rare. Check eBay or your mom-and-pop video store for this logo. A couple of places to start with are older VHS issues of Nail Gun Massacre, Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter, City of Blood, The Big Hurt, Confidential, Night Terror, Curse of the Blue Lights, Poor White Trash Part II, Blackout, Vampyres, Frenchman's Farm, The Night After Halloween, Maxim Xul, Revenge of the Living Zombies (a.k.a. Flesheater), the 1980 TV movie version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Blood Salvage, Witchtrap, Street Asylum, The Jar, The Comic, Tusks, The Return of Captain Invincible, The Mad Butcher, Dr. Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks, The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism, Primal Scream, Patrick, The Hills Have Eyes (1977), Drive-In Massacre, Lucio Fulci's Zombie (a.k.a. Zombi 2), Mindfield, and Bad Taste. Some Starmaker reissues of Magnum titles, such as The Hills Have Eyes, preserve this logo after the opening Starmaker logo.
Editor's Note: None.
