Yellowjackets
Home-video and yearbook imagery cut with things that should not be in a yearbook, and a new needle-drop each season.
Yellowjackets kept one opening title sequence, 111 seconds long, across season 2.
At 111 seconds, it opens well above the 50-second median for horror sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Showtime in 2021, when Shameless, Billions and City on a Hill were also on the network.
