| Description: |
In addition to the tile and opening credits, we see a man standing at the end of a dark hallway; Steiner re-uses the main title from Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, but adds a march rhythm with snare drum and percussion, which creates an ominous driving feeling; the title comes in one word at a time, coordinated with the percussive rhythms |

| Analysis: |
This cue uses parallel half-diminished seventh chords and parallel triads; in measure 4, Steiner compresses one measure of music from Clitterhouse into half a measure of music (diminution), then moves on to the oscillating tritone which sets up the march |
