Shock Film Company

Background
Shock Film Company is a distributor founded by Jimmy Maslon and Eric J. Caidin.

Logo (1982?)
Visuals: On a black background, there are the words:

JIMMY MASLON ERIC J. CALDIN present

Then we fade to the text:

A SHOCK FILM COMPANY PRESENTATION

The lightning strikes "SHOCK FILM", turning red and damaged.

Technique: Fading effects, the lightning striking the text, the text turning red and torn up.

Audio: An eerie synth fanfare, which is actually a stock music piece "Music, Drama, Billboard, Symphonic 02" from the Sound Ideas Series 1000 sound effects library, accompanied by a whoosh and a stock thunderclap from the Cinesound/BBC sound effects library (the same thunderclap used on the Ismail Productions, Lightning Video and Southern Star/Hanna-Barbera Australia logos).

Availability: Seen on post-1982 prints of “The Wizard of Gore” (1970).
