After all, you only get one chance at a good first impression.<\/p>\n<p>For my money, Stuart Gordon\u2019s <em><strong>Re-Animator<\/strong><\/em> contains one of the greatest cold opens in horror history. With enticing haste, Gordon introduces the film\u2019s (titular) mad-scientist, his enthusiasm for reanimating corpses, and the delightfully macabre consequences of doing so. <\/p>\n<p>The idol-stealing introduction in <em><strong>Raiders of the Lost Ark <\/strong><\/em>also springs to mind. Like the very best cold opens, <em>Raiders<\/em> doesn\u2019t just introduce you to narrative thrusts and characters; it sets a tone.

It looks at the show\u2019s pitch deck (a visualization tool that acts as a sales pitch) and dives into the episode\u2019s first three scenes: a hallway chase that registers as pure horror, a <em>Dungeons &amp; Dragons<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> that evokes \u201980s nostalgia, and a monster encounter in a tool shed that straddles the line between both of those worlds.<\/p>\n<p id=\"block-b5ac606c-b74a-4cab-a663-701ec85c7024\">Watch \u201c<strong><em>Stranger Things<\/em>\u2014Setting the Tone<\/strong>\u201c:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Stranger Things Conveys Tone and Style\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Rxss4wEL4w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"block-da44f2c0-01e5-442d-b111-649cfba1b5a9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This genre breakdown comes courtesy of <strong>Lessons From The Screenplay<\/strong>, which is a consistently insightful video essay channel created and run by\u00a0<strong>Michael Tucker<\/strong>.
