Warning: Contains loud music
Background[]
Paragon Video Productions was a subsidiary of "King of Video" to release more public domain horror and action films. This video sub-label was operated around the years of 1981 to 1985.
Note: Not to be confused with Paragon Entertainment Corporation.
Logo:[]
(1981-1985) Same as the 2nd King of Video logo, except a gold colored “PARAGON VIDEO PRODUCTIONS” with an outlined star next to the “V” in “Video Productions” (where the letters are much smaller than the “V” and “Paragon”), zooms-in in the place of the King of Video logo with a trail behind it.
Music/Sounds:[]
An overly-bombastic orchestral fanfare, which sounds like it could’ve been done in the 1930's.
Scare Factor:[]
High to Nightmare. The animation is fine, as it resembles the Square One variant of the PBS Split Logo, but the main reason the logo is known to be scary is the music. If they chose another theme, it would be nice, BUT NO. The music is terrifying, and will scare A LOT OF CHILDREN WHO HAD WATCHED THEIR TAPES. But it does make sense, because this sometimes released horror tapes.
