10 Chilling TV Title Sequences That Will Keep You Up At Night

4. Kingdom Hospital (2004)

With its breathless music you could be mistaken for thinking you are listening to a Dido song. But it works so brilliantly as a contrast to the rather disturbing imagery on screen, which is unsettling from the start. The flash of a humanoid monster with a tail flickering through the shadows, spooky woods with trees silhouetted against moonlight and a naked human stretched out in grotesque shape; these are all signs that Kingdom Hospital is far from your average medical care facility. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZgnLXmsA4o But it is when the hand claws out of the dirt, fingers slithering over skulls that the full macarbe horror of this Stephen King series materialises. Dark, chilling and disturbing, there is the sense that something horrible lurks beneath this hospital and it makes for an intriguing and unsettling feeling in equal measure. Mostly though, the word that captures the imagery is Biblical, old testament style. A battle of good versus evil...it makes audiences ask just what kind of hospital this is.
