Scariest/creepiest production logo?
When I was little, TV shows and movies apparently liked to make their production logos creepy. That logo that appeared either in the beginning of a VHS tape or DVD or in the end was enough to get some of us to not sneak out of our rooms at night and watch our favorite shows/movies. And as I grew older, I'd be confirmed of the fact I wasn't the only person caught off-guard, as there is a whole genre of discussion around it. Which one would strike the scariest vibes in you?
Not TV/movie, but Valve’s video logo and accompanying sound was pretty startling at the time.
When they made the head move in portal 2 for the first time, the girl from the ring might as well have just climbed out of my screen
That was a revolutionary day for me as well haha
This is the one that crossed my mind. Valve man looking up at you is unsettling.

The neversoft eyeball in the beginning of the tony hawk games used to creep me out.
For anyone not familiar the intro would show the neversoft text and then the eyeball would be skewkered.
Worse than this, was their logo video for Tony Hawk's Underground, where Eric the rival character gets attacked and pulled into the sewers by the T.H.I.N.G. and gets reduced to bones.
For me, the logos would become closely associated with specific movies where I first saw them. So while these aren't exactly scary movies, the iconic Columbia torch lady meant Ghostbusters, while the blue New Line Cinema box would get me pumped for some Ninja Turtles. And I vaguely remember being confused about why a Michael Keaton Batman movie would open with a Warner Bros. logo, since that meant Looney Tunes, and I didn't understand how two things with such different vibes could come from the same company.
The original THX Deep Note was the bad kind of dissonant for my little brain growing up. Even the THUD parody version from the Tiny Toons "movie" gave me the creeps.

Not TV or movie, but as a kid, this scared me ...
Production logos are fine for me, I don't have any memories about them.
Tangential comment here… not scary or creepy, but this has become my favorite logo.
