Alive Films

(January 13, 1984-November 1, 1991)
Nicknames: "The Script", "ALIVE"

Logo: On a black background, we see a zoom-out of letters, first an "A" in white, an "L" in black, an "I" in white, "V" in black and "E" in white, then we see a zoom out of the "ALIVE" word, colored as if with colored pencil from blue to yellow. Then it colors fully and the word "FILMS" on a handwriting font zooms-out at the same time as it writes. Then two lines appears under "ALIVE" and under "FILMS".

Variants:
 * A still in-credit variant appears in the opening credits of the Wes Craven film Shocker, The Whales of August, and The People Under the Stairs.
 * On earlier films such as Trouble in Mind, the logo starts out with the word "ALIVE" zooming out. This time the logo is a purple and blue color. The animation is the same as before.

FX/SFX: The zoom-out of the logo.

Music/Sounds: None, but sometimes a new age synth theme was used, or the closing theme of the movie.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on 1987 Charter Entertainment and Nelson Entertainment VHS releases and television prints of Red Headed Stranger and the Nelson Entertainment VHS release of The Moderns. Don't expect to find it on the John Carpenter films They Live and Prince of Darkness.

Legacy: None.
