Opening credits say a lot about a television show. As unimportant as they may seem when first viewing an episode, there's no mistaking it—the second the first few lines of that theme song start playing, it sets the tone for the entire episode, and, in turn, the entire show. So, it makes sense that some of the most unsettling, edge-of-your-seat suspenseful dramas would have some of the most unsettling opening credits on TV.

Shows like Dexter and American Horror Story are a given, but what else makes for a truly suspenseful opening credit clip? Is it shots of abandoned cities, like The Walking Dead? Drops of blood that eventually form a human's head like Hannibal? Shots of a girl being prepped for burial like Pretty Little Liars? Luckily for all of us, VH1 put together a list of the top ten most unsettling opening credits on TV now to help the world figure that out—and, probably, in honor of freaking everyone out a lot too.

You know the drill—head on over to the link below.
