Moonlight Productions

(November 8, 1982-February 14, 1985)


Logo: On a black background, we see a dark red square with a neon sun and palm tree, with the neon sign-like words "MOONLIGHT PRODUCTIONS". Suddenly, the words flash. After the flash, the word "MOONLIGHT" sparkles.

FX/SFX: The words flashing, and the sparkling. An obvious product of the early '80s.

Music/Sounds: A calm synth note that leads into a synth chord when the words flash. A 4-note synth chime is heard while the chord keeps playing.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Obsessive Love, a short 5-note synthesized jingle was heard.

Availability: Extremely rare. The company has produced mostly TV movies, such as Obsessive Love (although a 90s syndicated print has it plastered by the 2nd PolyGram Television logo), Challenge of a Lifetime, I Married a Centerfold, and The First Time, among others. Those are hardly reran on television nowadays, but they can be usually found on streaming services such as Tubi or Amazon Prime.

Legacy: People might get put off by the darkness of the logo and the words flashing, and some have considered the relaxing music to be slightly ominous.
