The S From Hell
A documentary-come-horror film about the scariest corporate symbol in history: the 1964 Screen Gems logo, aka “the S from Hell.” Featuring interviews with survivors still traumatized from viewing the logo after shows like Bewitched or The Monkees. Animation, found footage, and reenactments bring their stories to life.

The documentary has unfortunately been made private, so I’ve replaced the video with a short reminder about the creepiness of The S from Hell.

Interestingly, I can just about make out 3 6′s between the two shapes and the negative space they create. Just sayin.

You know I wasn’t sure if this was a joke or not until about halfway through. Funny stuff :)

Yep.. Bob is right there are 3 6′s… I wonder it’s mentioned in the documentary.
Anyway I guess this will be very very amusing :D

Lol, now check here the red version of the logo, at the first seconds of this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dc5iiT0f1s
Warning: if you still get scared by the logo, then don’t watch it.

Does anyone know who designed the logo? Having trouble finding on the innertoobs.
Oh, and for the record, I think it never scared me because I never saw it in color. We didn’t own a color TV until 1969!
