Chalk me up for another "games scared me more than movies when I was a kid". In fact, the logos that came after (or before) the movie (or TV show) were more likely to creep me out.
For instance, we have this depressing piece of work at the beginning of every Wallace and Gromit tape. Or how about this this swirling abomination that proceeds the Scooby-Doo direct-to-video films. Not to mention this spooky-ass piece at the end of one 3-part Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog special.
What really messed me up as child though, was the Columbia-Tristar logo. Mostly because this thing was everywhere on TV shows at the time (almost to the point that I felt it was following me), the amazingly-tryhard bombastic fanfare (which comes dangerously close to something you'd hear in a horror film), and the fact that you nearly can't identify any features on the pegasus' face thanks to the poor contrast in the images (can't blame Youtube for this; I distinctly remember it looking like that on an actual TV screen).
...and then I look back at all of this and realize that I was terrified of a bunch of fucking sliding boxes and lines. Wow, I was scared of the weirdest shit when I was a kid.
