Idents

Dead Angel (December 2006)

On a Christmas tree, we see a demonic Santa ornament with an evil grin, and red glowing eyes, laughing while holding a green cord. The camera then pans up to show dead Angel topper, strangled by a Christmas light cord and impaled on her head. The company's name, with "horror" in a stylish font, fades in below the dead angel.

Hung Santa (December 2006)

We see the legs of a Santa Ordainment, only to reveal that the ornament is hanging by a noose. Santa's face is also blue, and has his tongue sticking out. The camera then pans to the same demonic Santa Ordainment from the Dead Angel ID, laughing with his hands over his mouth. The same logo from the last ID then appears.

Reindeer (December 2006)

At night with a giant moon, we see a silhouette of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, flying through the air, only to be shot, making his nose fall off, and leaving a blood stain on the moon. It's then revealed that the same Demonic Santa Ornament from the last two IDs, shot Rudolph, in a pink car with presents behind him. Rudolph's body then falls off, as the Demonic Santa catches Rudolph's now disembodied Red nose, and uses it as a car light. He then drives away, showing the now dead body of Rudolph, laying in a puddle of blood, as the company's name the appears.

Santa's Grotto (December 2006)

At night, we see a 3 dolls being dragged at the conveyor belt, The camera pans right to a place called "SANTA'S GRROTO" with some christmas lights decorated over the text and some windows, which flashes light when the 3 dolls are getting tortured, and lastly the camera pans to right revealing some dead dolls (one is being impaled in face by harpoon, other one has no head and last one only had few body parts being ripped off), as the company's name the appears as well.

Corridor (2009-2013)

In a red tint, we go through a Corridor with flickering lights. It keeps on passing through different sections of the Corridor, before it enters an elevator, which opens, and has the text "horror" floating, which makes the glass break.

Hook (2009-2013)

We see someone walking around a building while the background has a red-tinted effect. In the middle, we see the shadow of the person who happens to be holding a hook. After, we see the word "horror" appear in white.

Window (2009-2013)

As with the Corridor and Hook IDs, this is also red-tinted. We zoom out of approximately four ghost women. This results in someone falling out of a window and hitting the ground as "horror" appears in white.

Electrocuted Santa (December 2011)

In a Christmas decorated room, we see a silhouette of Santa with his bag of presents, tip-toeing to a black Christmas tree with red Christmas lights. He steps on a Christmas light, which then breaks. Santa then trips on the Christmas lights' cord, which electrocutes him, making blood appear on screen, as the scene flashes, showing Santa's Skeleton. The scene then transitions to the text "horror" with broken ornaments, and a Christmas light around the text, as it flashes.

Demon Present (December 2011)

In an attic, we see a Silhouette of a little girl, tossing a black present with a red ribbon. The girl then opens the present, as a silhouette of a jester with sharp teeth, claws, and a red tongue pop out of it, scaring the girl. The same logo from the last ID then appears.

Child Eating Tree (December 2011)

Outside, we see a Silhouette of a little boy, putting a red Christmas Ornament to a black tree. The tree then grows arms, and proceeds to pick up the boy, and eats him. The logo from the past two ID's then appears

Chainsaw Dinner (December 2011)

We see Silhouettes of a family, sitting at a table with a turkey. The grandma proceeds to grab a Chainsaw, and attempts to cut the turkey with it, scaring the other family members. The same logo from the last three ID's then appears.

TV (2017)

In a typical living room, we see a TV that turns on, showing static. We then zoom rapidly into the TV screen (a few glitches of a girl can be seen), only for it to reveal a red-tinted bathroom. The room is probably flooded, judging by the ripples. We then cut to another room, where a vase, two chairs, and a book are levitating. We then cut to a foggy outside setting, where plants and a doll can be seen. We then get a close-up of the doll burning, and then we cut to a dark environment where we can see male and female statues. The scene briefly glitches, and then we cut to a woman staring out of a curtain. Much like the Corridor ID, we see footage of someone walking in a building, but the building is not red-tinted. We then see a gold light revealing another room with a curtain, and after a while, we get a close-up of the curtain. We then see a bedroom with a girl, who then wakes up. At a slime-green setting, we see a curtain with someone falling. The text "horror" then appears in white.

Music/Sounds

TV (2017) Ident: A creepy theme with sounds that correspond to the subject matter.

Scare Factor

2006 Idents:

• Dead Angel: Medium to nightmare. The subject matter will scare anyone who is sensitive, but the Evil Santa's appearance and the Angel being impaled on her head are very scary, even if you are not.
• Hung Santa: Medium to nightmare. Again, the concept is very creepy, which will scare someone sensitive.
• Reindeer: High to nightmare. The reindeer being shot with blood on the moon will upset people, in particular animal lovers.
• Santa's Grotto: Nightmare. The dolls getting tortured, impaled and ripped off will unnerve quite a lot of viewers who are unaware. The flashing lights while the dolls are killed, won't help either.

December 2011 Idents: TBA.

TV (2017) Ident: Medium to nightmare. All the creepy things going on, the horrifying subject matter, the ominous mood, the loud noises, the unsettling music, the unnerving sounds and overall the eerie atmosphere will most certainly terrify many people who are unaware, though yet it is quite much fitting and, of course, intentional.
