Horror Factory (France)

Horror_Factory_(France) is a small french company based in London founded by Philippe Bazelle, specializing in horror movies.

Nicknames: "The K-Fee Gargoyle Has a Cousin", "Gunter von Hagens's Pet", "From France with Horror", "The Screamer Logo", "The Screamy French Touch", "6th Place in the Loudest Logo Award", "Scariest Logo Ever", "Five Nights at the Horror Factory"

Logo: In a sepia environment with particles flying everywhere (looks like the intro of CoD: Advanced Warfare), we see a figure in the distance. We slowly zoom into the figure as we see it is a skinless, goblin-looking humanoid creature. The creature slowly raises its head, screaming before suddenly dropping down. Part of the Horror Factory logo comes into distance, which is a rectangle with a gray drawing of a screaming face with blood on its downlip, before the goblin-creature from before lunges up and screams at the viewer. As the creature goes back down, the white, bold text "HORROR FACTORY" appears stacked next to the rectangle, and the text "THE screamy FRENCH TOUCH" appears below the logo. Then the logo disappears after a few seconds.

FX/SFX: The particles flying, the creature moving and screaming, the rectangle and text appearing. It's all excellent CGI.

Music/Sounds: A quiet heartbeat throughout the logo, some horror movie-cliched ominous wooshes along with a sound that sounds like rain at the beginning of it before the rectangle appears, a shriek from the creature (similar to Kate's scream from Slender: The Arrival, or a boy throwing a tantrum), a slam with the dropping sub-bass with the appearance of "THE," a woman screaming with the appearance of "Screamy," another slam with the dropping sub-bass with the appearance of "FRENCH TOUCH," and the sound of a light switch as the logo disappears.

Availability: Seen on the clip of Je Derive and the pre-production video of Mords de Faim (Died of Hunger).

Scare Factor: Nightmare, to the point of going off the scale. The ominous environment, the screams, the disturbing screaming face rectangle, the creature and especially the jump scare all adds up to make definitely one of the scariest logos ever. However, the scare factor is lower for those who are used to it, and for those who were expecting the jump scare. Plus, according to the fact that this a horror company, this is a very fitting and a intentionally scary logo.
