The home media rights to the pre-1994 Castle Rock library (which was part of Nelson's library) were sold to [[Epic Productions]], which incorporated it into its Gamma library, and then to [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment (UK)|PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]]; [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] acquired these rights in January 1999 after purchasing the pre-March 31, 1996 PolyGram library (including their back library) (exceptions are ''A Few Good Men'', ''In the Line of Fire'', and ''North'', co-productions with Columbia Pictures that remained with the studio and ''The Spirit of '76'', which Castle Rock produced and has a copyright holder alongside Black Diamond Productions, owned by Warner Bros.). [[Warner Bros. Television]] does own the television rights to most Castle Rock films. The post-1994 library is owned by Warner Bros. (except for distribution rights of ''The Story of Us'', ''The Last Days of Disco'', and international rights to ''The American President'', all of which are owned by [[Universal Pictures|Universal Studios]], the original distributor). Castle Rock retains the copyright to nearly all of its films. The company was revived on October 19, 2021 and will produce films in a first-look deal with Warner Bros.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Lighthouse", "The Early Lighthouse"
 
'''Logo:''' On a {{font color|pink|pink}}, {{font color|orange|orange}} and {{font color|gold|yellow}} morning sky, we see a silhouette of a lighthouse with the sun behind it over a {{font color|deepskyblue|blue}} sea, and the text "{{font|serif|'''CASTLE ROCK''' ENTERTAINMENT}}" below. A copyright stamp that says  "Copyright © (YEAR) CASTLE ROCK ENTERTAINMENT All Rights Reserved" is below. This was likely a placeholder logo used before the animated logo was ready for use.
 
'''Variant:''' An early version without the copyright stamp exists. This was seen on ''Heart and Soul''. In this case, the copyright info is part of the end credits.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' None.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the closing soundtrack of the program.
 
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare.
* This appeared on ''Heart and Soul'' and ''Julie Brown: The Show'', both pilots that aired on NBC and CBS, respectively, as well as the pilot of ''Homeroom''.
*This might have appeared on the 1989 CBS pilot ''The Ed Begley, Jr. Show'' and the original NBC airing of "The Seinfeld Chronicles" (considering ''Julie Brown'' aired two months after the ''Seinfeld'' pilot).
* The logo is preserved on the ''Julie Brown'' pilot as it's seen as a bonus feature on the DVD release of ''The Edge'', which was sold on Julie Brown's website, but has since then become long out of print.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' It's the first time Castle Rock's iconic lighthouse logo appeared on-screen in any shape or form. It would take about a year before the animated logo would debut on television and movies.

'''Editor's Note''': Despite the animation being choppy and dated by today's standards, it was great for its time, helped by the nice music from Marc Shaiman.
