Helltimate Studio (Canada)

(1999-2007?)

Nicknames: "I Like Licking Things", "The TV Destroyer", "The Ax Man", "Creepy Ax Man", "The Heavy Metal Logo", "Wrecking TV", "The Shining Gone Crazy", "HERE'S HELLTIMATE!!!", "He Needs Some Milk", "Who Licks An Axe These Days?", "The Wierdo"

Logo: We fade in to see a homemade video shot in a garage of a deranged-looking man in a white tank top with long dark brown hair, zombie-colored skin, and a goatee. He holds and licks an axe, and says "I like licking things!", and then (alongside some other people in the background) laughs. He growls dramatically as the camera pans out to an old CRT TV displaying static. A few seconds later, the text "HELLTIMATE" with "STUDIO" and a skull with fangs and four horns fades superimposed onto the TV. The man continues to growl before smashing the TV with the axe. After a piece of glass breaks off the set, we suddenly cut to black as the logo displayed on the TV appears with an old projector effect on it.

FX/SFX: Mostly live action, except for the ending sequence.

Cheesy Factor: This has so many things wrong with it, it's hard to know where to begin with. The whole segment with the zombie man seems amateurishly made, not to mention you can hear people in the background laughing. And why is there a high-heel shoe near the television? Also, the man's voice sounds like a failed G1 Megatron impersonation. They destroyed a perfectly good CRT TV as well. And come to think of it, was the part with the man really necessary? This looks exactly like a logo blooper!

Music/Sounds: The man saying his dialogue accompanied by the sounds of the ambiance/action. When we cut to black, a guitar chord is held with a creepy ticking in the background plays.

Availability: Seen on the company's movies, like their first film Urban Flesh.

Scare Factor: Low to high. It's the man and the cheesy nature of the logo that is creepy looking, but overall it's more weird than scary, same goes for Minimal for those who used to it, but its still a funny logo.
