AGM Video (Greece)

(1980s) Nicknames: "The Laser Show", "Theft of the MCA", "Almost MCA", "An MCA Home Video Ripoff!"

Logo: Against a black background, we see a green laser moving around in the background in various patterns. Then, the text

which is surrounded by a rectangle with "AGM" protruding from the top, fades in. It glows and flashes several colors as the laser moves around. Afterwards, it fades out.

FX/SFX: The live-action laser moving around and the glowing/flashing text.

Cheesy Factor: The laser looks like broken glass at some points, and the logo is a very blatant ripoff of the 80's MCA Home Video logo.

Music/Sounds: A synth bass line that gets louder and louder, followed by a Funkytown-esque dance tune. Actually, the music is from the song "So Many Men, So Little Time" by Miquel Brown.

Availability: Rare; seen on old Greek video tapes from the period.

Scare Factor: Low to medium; the bass line in the beginning can be unnerving, but that dance tune later on is very catchy.
