anyone have any ideas?

regards, and thanks

The only idea I have is that it can be custom work, based on a modified Benguiat,
but at the same time the Benguiat is so different it may require more work than making it from scratch.
I don't know...

fvilanakis -
thanks for your thoughts.

As for custom, I would lean towards not being custom, simply because the repeated letters are the same, which is usually a giveaway.

A little background on the time period of this piece. It's from the 1986, and the type was on the cover of a Halloween sound fx cassette tape. http://goo.gl/WzrJB

Hope that helps in the hunt...?
