Horror Factory Entertainment (France)

Background
Horror Factory Entertainment (also known as simply "Horror Factory") is a small French company based in London founded by Philippe Bazelle, specializing in horror movies.

1st Logo (2015- )


Nicknames: "The K-Fee Gargoyle's Cousin", "Gunter von Hagens's Pet", "From France with Horror", "The Screamer Logo", "The Screamy French Touch", "Five Nights at the Horror Factory", "Why Is This Logo Acting Like The Internet?"

Logo: On a sepia background with particles flying everywhere (looks like the intro of Call of Duty: 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 zombie-like 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 lower lip, 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.

Trivia: The template that the logo was used is "Scary Cinematic Logo Reveal", by rad-FX on Videohive.

Variant: A teaser version shows the creature appear again, only this time shushing.

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 whooshes 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), Some Nights Before and Les Lunes d'Avant.

Editor's Note: This is often cited as one of the scariest logos ever created, thanks to the jump scare and screaming, but it fits very well with the type of content the company produces.

2nd Logo (January 19, 2017- )


Nicknames: "The Screamy French Touch II", "The Dungeon", "From France with a Bit Less Horror", "Shadows", "Horror Factory is Illuminati Confirmed"

Logo: In a corner of two stone brick walls (both with lights shining on them), the rectangle from before (except now wider with the rest of the face being shown), hung by a chain, drops down. It flashes a bit as tentacles emerge from its shadow (shown on both walls) and move around. The lights flicker. On the walls, as revealed by the lights, are (on the left wall) the number "5" written in tally marks, "THE SCREAMY FRENCH TOUCH" carved onto the wall, (on the right wall) "SCARY" written on the wall the Anubis symbol (also known as the Illuminati symbol) written on the wall, "creepy" carved onto the wall, and "ARGHHHHHH!" carved onto the wall. The left light flickers and reveals the text:

HORROR

FACTORY

ENTERTAINMENT

next to the left shadow. The right light flickers until going out, while the left light stays on.

Trivia: The template that the logo was used is "The Shadows Monster", by cyzer on Videohive.

FX/SFX: The rectangle dropping down, the shadows, the "HORROR FACTORY ENTERTAINMENT" text appearing, the lights flickering. Again, nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: We start off with the sound of a chain being dropped down (along with the sound of it jingling), then an ominous synth piano theme plays through the rest of the logo. This is accompanied with, in order, a maniacal laugh, a sound effect that sounds like a bunch of bugs moving, buzzing sounds for the lights, then a louder and quicker buzz, ending off with the same "woman screaming" sound effect from the previous logo. Here the theme also stops. We end off with the sound of a door closing.

Availability: Debuted on their YouTube channel. Strangely, it's not available anymore, because Horror Factory removed it for an unknown reason.

Editor's Note: This is another creepy one, though it's not considered as scary as the last one. Just like the last one, the ominous nature fits very well with the company's content.

3rd Logo (January 26, 2018- )


Nicknames: "The Screamy French Touch III", "The Terrorific Girl", "No Girl Screaming Anymore"

Logo: TBA.

FX/SFX: TBA.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Debuted on their YouTube channel.

Editor's Note: This logo is thought to be just as scary, if not even scarier, as the first logo. Yet again, it is very fitting with the company's content.
