Another suggestive opening sequence is in 'Armchair Thriller'. The opening basically consists of what it says on the tin (armchair thirller), but it is so suggestive that it could be mistaken for a horror opening.
From 0:15 to 0:20, the shadow/man looks very deformed as the lighting makes him arms and head looked detached, which creates a spooky affect. (We know it is the shadow of a man, so it looks as if the mans actual limbs are being torn off).
A shot that really is scary for the audience is at 0:30 when the shadow's/man's hands appear on the armchair. This slight movement sent shivers down my spine as it looks like the mysterious character is going to get up and attack the screen/audience.
