Logo: Same as the bonus THX "Make Your Own Trailer" contest entry, but the animation is in the style of Sabrina The Teenage Witch: The Animated Series, the man is replaced with an animated version of Savage S. Holland, and the THX Broadway Rectangle appears when the THX logo comes into the house.

Music/Sounds: Same as the bonus entry.

2nd Trailer
(James Patterson's Entry)
Nickname: "THX Is In Your House"
Logo: In a bedroom, we see a boy sleeping on a bed with it saying "The Audience is Listening" on the blanket, 7 seconds later, the boy wakes up from a noise and turns on his lamp, then stands up, we then cut to the boy's viewpoint, the boy then walks to his door and opens it, he then goes downstairs to hide in the bathtub in the bathroom, we then cut to the hallway where a THX logo is going to find the boy he enters the bathroom to see that he is not there, the boy exits the bathtub and we cut to the boy's viewpoint again. He leaves the bathroom and attempts to go back to his room, but is interrupted by a writing on a wall saying "You think you can hide from me?! Look behind you!". The boy then turns around to see the THX logo, the logo then breaks the fourth wall as the deep note plays. The logo then cuts to a black background with the THX logo.
FX/SFX: Live action mixed with CGI.
Music/Sounds: A snoring sound with a glass breaking sound and all the other sounds depending on the action going on. Then of course, the deep note.
Availability: See "THXphobia: Fear of Digital Audio: Sabrina Version".
Editor's Note: Definitely one of the weirdest THX trailers for having werid subject matter and a unexpected fourth wall break. Not to mention that the deep note doesn‘t really help at all.

(GhotiFish's entry)
Nickname: "Wait for it..."
Logo: In a black room, we see a man holding a gun, nervously begging to let someone help him out of the room. When the Deep Note plays, he looks around while saying, "Oh no! Please, not this. Anything but this!" The Deep Note pauses after the first half is done. A text appears in front of the man saying, "Wait for it..." He asks, "Wha-what does this mean?" After he asks, the THX logo pops up from the bottom; (a la Horror Factory Entertainment) and lets out a quick flash. A spark then appears and draws the underline of the Dark Silver THX Logo, with a low pitched version of the Broadway 2000 Deep Note playing in the background. After the logo fades, the text, "s e e y o u o n t h e o t h e r s i d e" appears word by word.

13th Trailer
(Bonus entry from BaldiBasicsFan)
Nickname: "World Wide Woof"
Logo: We first see a projector rolling inside of Godfrey the Guide Dog‘s house. Godfrey was playing a movie with a THX logo at the beginning. However, the projector stops rolling at the end of the sounds before the synth plays. So in order to get his movie fixed, he has decided to make a loud howl by using World Wide Woof to fix his problem. The Barking Chain starts up as a result. Back at Godfrey’s home, the projector starts rolling again and Godfrey was happy about it. Suddenly out of nowhere, a CGI version of the THX logo pops up. Godfrey was jumpscared by this and wasn’t expecting it. This was possibly because theirs too many dogs in the dalmatian family. The THX logo gets closer to Godfrey. Godfrey tried to runaway from the logo, but it unfortunately ended up pushing him out the window. The THX logo then comes out of the window of where Godfrey got out in and goes closer to the screen. Everything with the exception of the THX logo fades out and we’re left with the THX logo on a black background. After the Deep Note stops playing, we see text at the bottom saying "The dogs are howling and the audience is listening". The trailer then stands still for a few seconds until the trailer slowly fades out to a black screen.
FX/SFX: Toon Boom anination done by Atomic Cartoons and CGI for the THX logo.
Music/Sounds: TBA
Availability: This was used a bonus trailer, so it’s not like the other entries. This trailer is currently found on the THX website.
Editor’s Note: It may look cute to some, but it depends on what you think of the howling. A louder version of the deep note may also get to you.
