“The opening logo for the non-existent distribution company Rosebud Releasing (featuring a stop-motion shot of a rose opening, with a buzzing fly on the soundtrack) was designed by Raimi specifically for this film. Dino DeLaurentiis’s DEG company (for whom the film was produced) was contractually prohibited from distributing an X-rated or unrated movie, so “Rosebud Releasing” was created as a kind of front.” http://www.hollywoodgothique.com
I immediately thought of Evil Dead 2.
Which, of course, makes it even lovelier.
