Entropy Films (Canada)

Background
Entropy Films was a film production company run by Linda Dunn, Ruth Dodd, Mandy Melon and Madelyne Moore, the former and latter two ran their own public access shows in the mid-80s before forming Entropy to acquire the rights and master copies back from broadcasters. By chance, they were hired by Sternwest Productions to assist in the production of one of their TV movies and from there, gradually expanded into a full-scale production company. Entropy was headquartered in Steinbach, Manitoba. In 2001, the company acquired Slate Films and rebranded it to Entropy Brisbane. The company would shut down in 2007, with Melon and Dunn going on to join Sterner Stuff, while Dodd and Moore would go on to form 604 Films.

3rd Logo (1995-2006)
Logo: We fade in to black and white footage of a woman walking in a suburban neighborhood at night. It cuts to a gaping hole in the ground as an unseen creature emerges from it. It cuts back to the woman who turns around and screams at the sight of the creature as it emerges out of the hole. We then cut to various white shadows containing the word "entropy" moving forward as a gaping monstrous mouth forms and zooms toward the screen engulfing it. It fades to an alleyway where a tail can barely be seen slithering out of view. We then fade out to see a white box with the word "ɛn trə pi" (phonetic spelling of "entropy")

FX/SFX: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: Sounds corresponding to the action, along with numerous wind sounds, ending with a faint heartbeat.
