    		 The HBO one from the 80s creeped me out...like it was after to get me if I wasn't turned away from the tv with my eyes shut.

    Interesting.

    The beginning of the 80's HBO intro (with the miniature neighborhoods and cars) reminds me of the miniature town in the attic in "Beetlejuice".

    The music was eerie too.

    Then again "Fantasia" scared me as a child so I'm not the best judge for bravery.

    I kinda got that feeling too. Music was eery and the piano hitting the same key a few times was like a timer going off.

    		 All I remember is that the only themes or logos that sort of gave me goosebumps was Gracie Films and Unsolved Mysteries. The others were awesome.

    I used to see them advertised on TV and always wanted my parents to buy them.
