To be honest, I have no idea what title sequencing is so let's see what an article written by Mackenzie Scott published by soundstripe says A title sequence consist of 2 elements, a title card and opening credits. "The purpose of a title sequence is to credit the principal cast, crew, production company, etc., but also to set the tone for the film or TV show itself." This helps the audience recognize the important figures that helped put the movie together.
What is the common sequence or order shown in horror films? The common order is an introductory element, followed by a main title, and then credit roll or can sometimes be in a different order with the credit roll always at the end.
Let's view some examples of this in horror/thriller films:
The Howling - The horror film begins with the main title and glass shattering effects after the title is presented. The director then decides to include an introductory element where the kid feels excited seeing the monster outside of his window then the film turning into an animation. After, the editor includes a transition to the credit roll with a creepy font.
The second film we're going to review is Halloween: The editor begins with the title and production brand. After it instantly cuts to the credits and do not include an introductory element.
