31 Days of Halloween: October 24
Good evening, friends,
We’ve been catching up on Halloween episodes of TV shows and I wanted to take a moment to appreciate something that’s all too rare these days: custom Halloween opening title sequences.
Of course, The Simpsons is the classic example and have been doing variations for years.
But I love it when a regular show does it too. Add a little warble to the soundtrack, throw in some ghosts booing and a banshee screech, and dress up the cast? Bliss.
Of the shows that 1) actually have a title sequence and 2) do a special Halloween version, I’ve probably only seen a handful. But I dig this intro from Community, and this one from Bob’s Burgers.
Even our favorite board game channel, No Rolls Barred, is getting in on the fun!
These intros are the sprinkle on the sundae of Halloween eps (or the seasoning in the stew, if you want a more seasonal metaphor). If there’s one you know of (and especially one that you love) that I didn’t include here, please reply and let me know!

How would you have died in the 17th century? Try this roulette generator to find out. (I died variously from “Stone,” “Quinsie (abscess in tonsils/throat),” and “Aged”.)
Til tomorrow,
