Never noticed that was a film also. Only read the manga.

What an EXCELLENT movie this is.

Re: Ur Favourite Opening/Title Sequences in Horror

We cant forget the title sequences created by Saul Bass for horror/suspense films films like Psycho, North by North West and Vertigo. He had a major influence on several figures involved in film including possibly Kyle Cooper, who created the title sequence for Se7en. Check out this proposed title sequence by Ty Mattson for Showtime's Dexter in this insightful article.

Re: Ur Favourite Opening/Title Sequences in Horror

I like music. Of the opening titles. I liked Videodrome too: "Civic TV, The One You Take To Bed With You."

Re: Ur Favourite Opening/Title Sequences in Horror

I say this alot but I have to go with Halloween 78. Perfectly sets the tone for the rest of the film.

Re: Ur Favourite Opening/Title Sequences in Horror

Nightmare on Elm St 3.  INTO THE FIRE

That is all.

Yea Im big on the music during the actual credits as well.  Like in almost every Carpenter film.  Or the first few Friday the 13th movies.  I think it is Friday the 13th two which had like the longest opening credit sequence ever at 14 minutes or something.

Re: Ur Favourite Opening/Title Sequences in Horror

I'm not a huge remake/reboot fan, but I'd have to say I really like the way they did Friday the 13th, getting all that action in prior to the movie title coming on screen.  I thought it was well done, considering how it's not like a lot of people went into the theater wondering what movie they were about to watch...it was like "here's the killing, oh yeah, btw, here's your movie title".

Re: Ur Favourite Opening/Title Sequences in Horror

^^^ Which reminds me, I never would have bothered with Dawn of the Dead '04 if USA hadn't aired the first ten minutes as a preview a week or so before the flick was released.  I was vehemtnly opposed to the very notion of anyone remaking my all-time favorite movie (horror or not), even going so far as to write a very scathing hate mail to Universal studios.  But after I saw that first ten minutes on USA, I relented.  It was such a strong opening sequence that I had to know if the rest of the movie was going to be as good.

It wasn't, but the movie was still better than a Dawn of the Dead remake had any business being. lol
