Nastoyashcheye Strashnoye Televidyniye IDs

Background
Nastoyashcheye Strashnoye Televidyniye (Englishː Real Scary Television) is an all-Russian TV channel that broadcasts films and series in the genres of horror, thriller , mysticism , science fiction and black humor. He was a member of the NKS Media media holding. In 2015, after the merger of the assets of VGTRK and Rostelecom, the channel became part of the Digital Television package of thematic TV channels.

1st Logo (Branding ID) (2006-2011)
Nicknamesː "HCT of Doom" "HCT of Terror" "Bloody C" "That one ID from Russia named HCT"

Logoː We see a close-up of several white lines on a black background. More lines start crossing as we zoom out. As it zooms out, it reveals it's making the cyrillic letters "H" & "T" in a white outline. When the letters are done forming, a white spotlight pans between the letters, revealing a shadow that looks like the cyrillic letter "C". It jitters & the light starts to spaz out as a red version of the letter "C" plasters the shadow. Red smoke can be seen behind the letter "C" as the letter starts to drip blood. The website (www.strashnoe.tv) can be shown in white below the "HCT".

FX/SFXː The White lines combining to make the letters, the light & shadow jittering, & the animation for the red version of the "C".

Music/Soundsː A few sword slahing sounds, a noise which gets higher pitched & was abruptly interrupted by the sound of thunder, a girl screams when the "C" jitters, and the sound of blood dripping with an ominous chime theme. Also, a dramatic orchestral theme was heard throughout the logo.

Avaiabilityː Extinct. It was only used as a branding ID for the channel.

Editor's Noteː This probably have scared many Russians due to the jarring noises, the ominous animation, & dramatic music. The darkness may also contribute, making it possibly worse than VIDgital. Although, this was most likely intentional, since this is a horror company.

2nd Logo (2011-2014)
Nicknamesː "HCT of Doom II" "HCT of Terror II" "HCTː Chiller Style" "The name of all Nightmare Russia IDs"

Logoː We see live-action footage of anything (see variants), then the HCT logo (in a chiller related font) will be shown.

Variantsː


 * Chainsawː We see two people walking in a shack with a shelf that includes a destroyed doll & a metal sphere. Then we go to 1st Person POV & see the scenes of a guy with a chainsaw. The chainsaw starts up & when it's about to show us the rest of the scenes, we see "HCT" on a wooden wall with light coming out of it.
 * Forestː We start off as a night sky with the moon. Then, the camera moves downwards to a forest which is during the day. We then see a girl running & jumping on bushes in the forest. She trips over after we are shown scenes of her running & everything going black while it's shown. We keep zooming in to her worried face until we are shown a tree's bark with the HCT logo inside an orange circle on a black background.
 * Phsychoː We are shown a women taking a shower & close-ups of her head. We then notice a person walking towards her. He opens the curtain & stabs her (not shown) as the HCT logo is shown on the shower window made out of water from the shower.

FX/SFXː Live Action.

Music/Soundsː Depends on the variants.

Avaiabilityː Extinct.

Editor's Noteː This one is worse than the branding ID because of the disturbing imagery (not shown fortunately), the unnerving sounds, the overall environment, & the dark theme. Again, this was most likely intentional.

3rd Logo (2021-)




Nicknamesː "Tame HCT" "Unnerving HCT" "HCT Face" "Glitch"

Logoː
 * Morning IDː We see a close-up of a face of an Indian on a yellow background. We then see it's mouth, which reveals it's half Indian half Skeleton. We see the whole body, which can be told by the lights. The HCT logo in yellow shows up at the right.
 * Afternoon IDː Same as the Morning ID, but this time, it's a hard-to-tell person in a gas mask, it's purple & green all around with lazers, & the HCT logo is in green.
 * Evening IDː Again, same as the Morning ID, but it's a plastic skeleton with red lines & a cowboy hat, most of the background is red, & the HCT logo is in Red.
 * Night IDː Once again, same as the Morning ID, but it's a human with a Jason-like mask covering his entire face, the background is a wall with blue lights, & the HCT logo is in blue.
 * Alternate Variantː The HCT logo can be shown in yellow or red & glitches in position on a smokey background.

FX/SFXː Live-Action for the Morning, Afternoon, Evening, & Night IDs, & 2D Animation for the Alt. Variant.

Music/Soundsː New Generation Low-Tone Music, as well as phone beeping noises (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, & Night IDs only)

Avaiabilityː Current.

Editor's Noteː This might creep some due to the imagery, but it's much tamer than the last two logos.
