Tales From The Darkside logo(s)

VertigoMindwarp

These logos are from the Tales From The Darkside tv show from the 1980s, do either of these look like any existing fonts?

I know there is a good chance that these were custom made just for the logos, but even if so I wonder if anyone has created a a font based on these since then?

Thanks for any help!

The second is any of several versions of Garamond Bold. The first is likely custom (i.e. hand-lettered), as the like characters are different.

The first logo is obviously hand-lettered (cf. the duplicate letters), but here are some free fonts to give you the creeps ;-)
