John Carpenter's Halloween opening and John Carpenter's The Thing opening analysis (thriller/horror)

The opening to Halloween is incredibly simple but is just as effective as any thing else. All it dose is play music and show a pumpkin getting closer and closer as each credit comes up in time with what the music is doing. The combination of the tention building music and pumpkin getting closer is another to keep you on the edge of your seet waiting to see whats going to happen after the credits ares shown, it forces you to ask whats going to happen after this.



The opening to The thing is another one that just asks a lot of qeations in one go, why are these people shooting a dog? who are they? why was the a space ship at the the start? and were is it now? it just gets you interested in what the story might be and the charters involved in the event that takes place at the start and what the consequences of there actions might be.
It uses scenic shots to start of as our group is planning to do.
i know this also more of a horror film but both films take elemts of thrillers.
