Credit sequences in the horror genre

 Credit scenes, a lot of people don’t watch them but it’s a very important part of the movie that allows the actor, producer, and anyone else who might’ve participated in the movie in any way to get their name out there or just receive credit. Some credit scenes are in the first few moments of the movie and don't mix with the movie but others, especially recently, have been mixing the credits with the actual movie, contributing a little bit to the mood of the story. 

An example of this could be the movie “us” (2019)

(Here is a link)

They use credit scene with very creepy and loud music and a bunch of bunnies in cages. There is also a single black bunny among the white bunnies which symbolizes a sort of bad or evil with the innocent, good people. This is foreshadowing the actual story which is about a family who there is a evil version of. Along with the bold, red names, this credit sequence for sure adds a lot of feeling to the movie while still showing off the cast.

Another movie called Get Out(2017) which has been recently been gaining popularity because of its stellar acting has a noticeable credit sequence.

In my opinion, less scary than the last, mostly because the song choice on the last really freaked me out, but non the less still invokes fear and most people wouldn't need a second guess to realize this is a horror movie. It features a man stuffing a dead body into the back of his car, then riding off with eerie, classical music being played in the back. Then he rides off and the camera cuts to a shot of inside the car while its moving and the credits being played over it. The second clip is clearly much more normal and light, while the first is very dark which begs the question, "what is under the surface", again a part of the movie.

More of an older movie, "Se7en", has a much more cryptic credit scene.

What you can tell from it is that its definitely horror and someone is trying to cover something up or maybe get clues from something. What ever they are doing it involves cutting their fingers and points to an exciting psychological horror movie. The credits, unlike the last 2 were more in the back and didn't take too much of the spotlight while still being included and acknowledged. 

I liked Se7en's opening much more than the other 2 and plan on adding credits in the back while still giving content as 2 minutes aren't much and we want to use our time wisely.
