Glass Eye Pix

Background
Glass Eye Pix (“one of the indie scene’s most productive and longest-running companies” —Filmmaker Magazine) is the fierce independent NYC-based production outfit headed by art-horror auteur Larry Fessenden (DEPRAVED, BENEATH, ABC’s of DEATH 2, NBC’s Fear Itself episode “SKIN AND BONES,” THE LAST WINTER, WENDIGO, HABIT, NO TELLING). Glass Eye Pix is responsible for narrative films, documentaries, books, comics, audio plays, and other unique work designed to inspire and contrast with corporate media. Fessenden (winner of the Someone to Watch Spirit Award) has operated the company since 1985, with the mission of supporting individual voices in the arts.

Glass Eye Pix has produced numerous critically acclaimed films in and out of the horror genre, including THE RANGER (2018, Jenn Wexler), PSYCHOPATHS (2018, Mickey Keating), LIKE ME (2017, Robert Mockler), MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND (2017, Ana Asensio), STRAY BULLETS (2017, Jack Fessenden), STAKE LAND 2 (2016, Dan Berk, Bobby Olsen), DARLING (2016, Mickey Keating), LATE PHASES (2014, Adrián García Bogliano), BIRTH OF THE LIVING DEAD (2013, Rob Kuhns), BENEATH (2013, Fessenden), THE COMEDY (2012, Rick Alverson), WENDY AND LUCY (2009, Kelly Reichardt), and LIBERTY KID (2008, Ilya Chaiken).

Glass Eye Pix established its reputation with a series of trend-setting genre films, starting with Fessenden’s early titles, followed by RIVER OF GLASS by Kelly Reichardt, and then the first four films of Ti West; THE ROOST, TRIGGER MAN, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL and THE INNKEEPERS, as well as the gently macabre I SELL THE DEAD by Glenn McQuaid, and the vampire saga STAKE LAND (Jim Mickle — winner of the Audience Award at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival’s Midnight Madness). Other unique genre films from the shingle include BITTER FEAST (Joe Maggio) and the outsider films of James Felix McKenney: THE OFF SEASON, AUTOMATONS, SATAN HATES YOU and HYPOTHERMIA (with Michael Rooker). Glass Eye Pix produced I CAN SEE YOU and the 3D short THE VIEWER for Graham Reznick who has gone on to co-author with Fessenden the popular Bafta-winning video game UNTIL DAWN.

1st Logo (2002)
Logoː We see an eye zoom in to us for less than half a second. This shows a blue movie countdown & text that says "Glass Eye Pix" in either the typer or the drawn font. The text wipes away until it nothing but scribbled white, which goes to the right.

FX/SFXː The movie Countdown, the text, all of which are done in animation.

Music/Soundsː A series of noises from the movie projector.

Availabilityː Probably seen on a movie or 2 at the time.

Editor's Noteː This is one of the logos from Glass Eye Pix that uses a movie countdown.

2nd Logo (2007)
Logoː We see again a movie countdown. This time, it's black & green. The white text "GLASS EYE PIX" is already shown & black keeps showing on the movie countdown every second (as for the distorted projector back then). When it almost gets to 2 on the countdown, everything turns black & scratchy to the point to where the text is already gone. By the end of the logo, an eye shows up for a second with multiple frames of the eye.

FX/SFXː The heavily distorted movie countdown & the eye.

Music/Soundsː The movie countdown noises, but low-toned & hard-to-tell noises at the end.

Availabilityː Seen On:"Trigger Man"

Editor's Noteː The distorted movie countdown & rough sounds can creep many out. The darkness may also contribute.

3rd Logo (2010)


Logo: Transitioning from the 2nd Scare Flix logo, we see a countdown effect with a bunch of strange images in the background. After a while, we see "GLASS EYE PIX" fading in. The logo then suddenly ends.

FX/SFX: Animation.

Music/Soundsː A series of strange gore sounds.

Availability: Seen on Bitter Feast.

Editor's Note: The disturbing imagery & the noises can scare some.

4th Logo (2013)
Logoː We see yet another movie countdown with 2 colorsː Black & Blue. The text "GLASS EYE PIX" appears in white as the countdown continues. The text quickly disappears & the logo ends suddenly.

FX/SFXː The movie countdown & the text, all of which are done in animation far more soothing than the last logo.

Music/Soundsː A series of strange rubbing noises, or something else entirely.

Avaiabilityː Seen on "Beneath".

Editor's Noteː While the sounds can creep some, it's more soothing than the last logos.
