I was watching a film yesterday (went in blind) and during the opening credits I saw something along the lines of “Special effects artist for the Creature”. I had no idea the movie was going to have a creature in it before reading that, so when it was eventually revealed later in the film I was kinda annoyed that I knew it was coming. Would have been pretty cool to have it sprung on me out of the blue, because there were no hints during the preceding part of the film that anything supernatural or weird was happening.

It got me thinking about what other films contain spoilers in the opening credits. Do you have any other examples?

    Possession (1981)

    Most of the movie is about

    spoiler

    a couple and their young son going through a divorce, along with severe bouts of mental illness and destructive behaviour. Enough of it that it would earn the “horror” genre tag on its own.
