Interview with the Vampire
Anne Rice adapted as a long interview, with an opening that lasts twenty-two seconds and does not waste one of them.
Interview with the Vampire opens with a main title sequence of 22 seconds.
At 22 seconds, it opens well under the 50-second median for horror sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on AMC in 2022, when The Walking Dead, The Night Manager and Fear the Walking Dead were also on the network.
