Scariest/creepiest production logo? (lemm.ee)

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?

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.
