March 2, 1994-present
Modified Screen: On a black background, we see the typical modified screen text in the Gill Sans MT font, reading:
Variants:
- Sometimes, the text is bolded.
- The font of the text may be changed.
- Some films include additions to the text, to include references to the editions of the film to run in the time allotted. This may also include editions for content.
- A Spanish variant appears on Spanish tapes of the era. Here, the text is in all-caps and in an Arial font.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None usually, but on Descriptive Video Service VHS's released by Warner Home Video, a narrator says "This film has been formatted to fit your screen" (sometimes preceded by "A message appears," "A message," or "More words appear").
Availability: Seen on Warner Home Video VHS and fullscreen DVD releases, and the fullscreen sides of double-sided DVDs such as The Clan of the Cave Bear and Poltergeist. The first tapes to use it were Demolition Man and later prints of Dave. It can also be seen on Warner Bros. movies on TV channels like TV Land. It also appears on a 1995 MGM/UA VHS of A Christmas Story, a 1997 Columbia TriStar VHS of Hamlet, international VHS and Full-Screen DVDs of The Time Machine (2002), and the Orion Home Video demo VHS of 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag. The English and Spanish versions both appear on a 1994 Mexican VHS of Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles. The added text versions appear before broadcast TV airings of Warner Bros.-owned movies. Surprisingly, it can be seen on the 2001 HBO Home Video demo VHS of Wit, just before the tape's trailers. The "...and edited for content" version also appears on the 2002 "Family Edited Version" DVD of A Walk to Remember.
Editor's Note: If you listen closely on the regular variant, sometimes you can hear the end of the 1997 WHV logo at the beginning.
