Vadi-mon (Spain)

(1970s?-1980s?)

Vadi-Mon Video

Nicknames: "The Eyes of Doom", "Choppy Outerspace", "YIKES, Those Eyes!"

Logo: On a space galaxy background, we see a pair of disembodied, dark eyes open and look straight at us. This cuts to a shot of Saturn's rings, which in turn segues into a wide shot of the planet itself. This cuts to a shot of other shadowy planets and moons, which fades into a slightly different space background than before. Then the VADI-MON logo (which are three stripes, one red, one green, one blue with acream outline and the middle part squashed into one line with "VADI" on top and "MON" on bottom, both in bubbly letters and in cream color) appears out of nowhere, zooms in and then moves up as it is close to the screen. The logo then cuts to black.

FX/SFX: The fading in and seguing out of everything, and the zooming in of the VADI-MON logo.

Cheesy Factor: Completely obliterates the scale - could be a candidate for cheesiest logo of all. Everything is poorly done, looking very cheap and old, and it's quite obvious the VADI-MON logo at the end is just someone holding it in front of a green screen, moving it closer to the camera and then lifting it up.

Music/Sounds: A shoddy, strange ditty done on a synthesizer and a saxophone.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on the 1970 Spanish film Hola, Señor Dios (Hello, Lord God). Apparently, this was seen on VHS prints of Spain bible films, Hola, Señor Dios being one of them. Many pictures of Vadi-Mon VHS tapes (mostly their covers) have been seen on the Internet.

Scare Factor: Low to nightmare, as the freaky eyes at the beginning may frighten some and the creepy music can really catch you off-guard.
