Nicknames: "Acid Trip from Hell", "What The Heck?!", "Background from Hell", "Colors Everywhere", "A Truly Ugly Home Video Logo", "SuperVideo's British Cousin", "What Were They Thinking? VI: UK Edition"

Logo: The logo begins with a purple background. Several horizontal waves wipe the purple background to reveal a black background with flashing red/purple/green lights. The words KM VIDEO, written in red, slowly zoom towards the screen. After a few seconds of more flashing, the company name becomes static. The logo then switches to outer space. A rotating silvery-blue globe with the red glow and riddled with stars zooms toward the viewers. The globe becomes a red sphere of light and grows to take up the entire screen. The word presents appears on the red background.

FX/SFX: Typical Scanimate effects of the time.

Music/Sounds: An eerie new-age synth tune.

Availability: Extraordinarily rare. According to IMDb.com, KM has only distributed two films: Escape From Hell and The Teenage Prostitution Racket.
