True Blood Opening Credits

Let’s take a look at the opening credits for True Blood. I’m so intrigued by the montage of seemingly innocent things- that somehow combined with as sultry song and the expectation of naughtiness, creates a disturbingly melodic intro that I can’t take my eyes off.

I also have to wonder, is that intro really indicative of Louisiana? It shows toddlers in KKK outfits, children eating something that smears what appears to be blood (but is likely ketchup or bbq sauce) all over their face, alligator jaws, broken down cars left in the swamps to rot and be consumed.

There’s a sign that says “God hates fangs.” Now, I’m not a church goer, or anything or the sort- but last I hear, God loves everyone. Then again, this is taking place in an alternate reality, so perhaps the rules are a bit different there.

god hates fangs?

The juxtaposition of sexy, half naked babes and clapping, singing church goers makes me giggle and feel naughty all at the same time. Like the kid who just found his parent’s porn collection.

Watch the True Blood Opening Credits and judge for yourself.

    You are dead on.
    And who is the lady with the black lingerie?
    that little sequence is sexier than all the girls running around topless.

    I agree with you on your ideas about this sequence. It creates suggestions that really make up a universe. I think it is fantastically well done.

    Where can I get still images from the opening sequence? I want a pic of that redneck in the ballcap laughing, because people say I look just like him. Heh heh…
