Nicknames: "...OR ELSE!", "The Very Strict Warning", "The Warning That Gives People Nightmares", The '...OR ELSE!' Warning"

Warning
: On a black background, we see the warning text (in white):

WARNING
THE COPYRIGHT PROPRIETOR HAS
LICENCED THE FILM
(INCLUDING ITS SOUNDTRACK)
COMPRISED IN THIS VIDEOCASSETTE
FOR HOME USE ONLY.
ALL OTHER RIGHTS ARE RESERVED.
ANY UNAUTHORISED COPYING, EDITING,
EXHIBITION, RENTING, EXCHANGING,
HIRING, LENDING, PUBLIC PERFORMANCES,
DIFFUSION AND/OR BROADCAST OF THIS
VIDEOCASSETTE OR ANY PART THEREOF

...OR ELSE!
FX: None.

Cheesy Factor: Considering the way it is arranged, the warning makes on grammatical sense.

Availability: Seen on most UK Palace Video releases with the "Haunted Castle/Neon Castle" logo.

Scare Factor: Anywhere from none to NIGHTMARE; it all depends on what you think of the "...OR ELSE!" part of the warning screen. Many have been scared by it, but others may actually find it funny.
