Credit Sequences in Psychological Horror Films

Credit sequences in psychological horror help set the tone. In Se7en (1995), the opening credits are fast, dark, and disturbing. The visuals and music make the audience feel uncomfortable before the story begins. This shows how credits can be part of the horror, not just text on a screen.



Another example is The Shining (1980). The credits use slow shots and eerie music to create fear and isolation. These sequences inspired me to keep my opening simple and focused on mood rather than flashy titles. The slow movement and music made me think about how pacing and sound can be just as important as visuals.
