I began to watch and analyze opening credit sequences of horror movie films and I really liked the following 3-
The Howling- This opening credit sequence has a lot of special effects and it feels part of the story and it is combined with clips of the movie and comics blending into the letters of the credits. Which is very cool especially for the time the movie (70s-80s) came out and how people responded to it in theaters. The credits are very engaging and not boring and they use color and different fonts and images to engage people, and help with the story.
Nightmare on Elm Street- Also an 80s movie, the scream in the opening credit sequence add to the genre and the fonts and color used for the title and credits (red) are very fitting. As well as the noises heard in the background making it seem part of the movie, it is pretty long and quiet but it has movement.
The Fly- This opening credit sequence has really fitting music that goes along perfectly with the timing of the title, the special effects used for the title are very nicely presented. During the credits in the background we can see what the world would look like from the eyes of a fly which prepares you for the movie and makes it entertaining. It also anticipates how the movie is portrayed.
