Background: Akin to Erry Vision Film Co., this might have been a label ran by Chester Novell Turner to help distribute ''Tales From the Quadead Zone'' on VHS. The trouble he encountered when he had a VHS label distribute his previous film ''Black Devil Doll from Hell'' (namely, the label only paying him $6 for every copy sold, as well as editing the film without his consent), as well as the logo's one-time use, provides heavy credence to this. |

Editor's Note: This is one hell of a cheap logo, from the strange placement of text, to the use of the ''Denver the Last Dinosaur'' footage (which, oddly enough, was released first in 1988, making its appearance on here a mystery), though at least the music is pretty catchy. |

Background
This could have been a label formed by Chester Novell Turner, Sr. to aid in the VHS distribution of Tales from the Quadead Zone, similar to Erry Vision Films. This is strongly supported by the difficulties he had when a VHS company distributed his earlier movie Black Devil Doll from Hell (specifically, the label only paid him $6 for each copy sold and edited the movie without his permission).
Logo (1987)
Visuals: On a violet background, there is the text "A BC VIDEO PRESENTATION", with "PRESENTATION" in an arc, a slightly inclined "A", and a small four leaf clover-like blurb drawn below it. Superimposed inside the text is the intro to Denver the Last Dinosaur (a small part of the footage appears not covered in the left).
Technique: Traditional animation from the show.
Audio: First there are four drum beats that begin on a black screen before the logo appears, then a funky beatbox riff, then a synthesized hip hop/rap tune is used.
Availability: It can only be seen at the end of original VHS prints of Tales from the Quadead Zone. This logo may or may not appear at the end of Massacre Video's DVD of the film.
