The Montecito Picture Company

(May 2000-present)
Nickname: "The Bellhouse"

Logo: On a black background, water splashes on the logo on screen and zoom away to reveal rocks, and then finally revealing trees in the camera. The camera pans back to reveal that is a brown bellhouse with a bell ringing, then a box zooms backwards surrounding the brown bellhouse and below the picture we reveal the words "The Montecito Picture Company".

Variants: On Road Trip, the logo is shortened and more cheaper-looking. This appears to be a prototype variant. The short version is seen on Hitchcock.

FX/SFX: It's all CGI.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic synth tune, with water sounds and bell ringing sounds, ending with a fanfare, composed by Bill Byrne. In other cases, it is usually the intro of a movie with water splashing and bell ringing sounds included. None for the short version.

Availability: Seen on such films as Road Trip, Old School, Evolution, Disturbia, Post Grad and Up in the Air. This can be also seen on the animated series Alienators: Evolution Continues.

Scare Factor: Low.
