Zhenming Film Company (Hong Kong)

Background : This is a short-lived Hong Kong film company founded by a producer Lam Hong-Yuen in the early 1950's. The company produced only one movie: Blood-stained Azaleas, in 1951.

(March 8, 1951) Nicknames: "The Cantonese Text In The Darkness", "The Creepy Cantonese Font of Terror", "My Own Worst Nightmare", "This Is Serious!", "Creepy Film Company", "Darkness Film Company", "What The Heck?! II: The Darkness Strikes Back", "Even Worse!", "What Were They Thinking?! VIII: The Cantonese Text In The Darkness", "Overseas Chinese Films' Longest Lost Brother", "The Personification of All That Is Darkness"

Logo : Not really a logo. Just some in-credit Cantonese text, which translates to "Zhenming Film Company presents a Grandview Film Company Limited production" on a black background. We fade to the opening credits.

FX/SFX : None, except the text fading to the opening credits.

Cheesy Factor : The text is hard to see due to the darkness.

Music/Sounds : The opening theme of the movie.

Availability : See Background.

Scare Factor : Nightmare. The creepy Cantonese font, the darkness and the creepy-sounding bombastic music will have no choice but to give bad dreams of some people, but some people may find this logo to be cheesy instead of scary. This is the one of the most scariest and cheesiest Hong Kong logos of all time. Your other reaction might be to think "What were they thinking?!".
