The brilliant opening titles from 'The Haunted Palace' (1963). Fantastic Score by Ronald Stein. Starring Vincent Price and Lon Chaney Jr. Directed by Roger Corman. Written by Charles Beaumont based on a story by H P Lovecraft (Only the name of the film is taken from Edgar Allen poe).
@AshleyMarkPomeroy Toto stole the main theme for Dune.

You know, from 0:27 onwards it sounds like a parallel universe version of the theme music from Dune!

I love this theme, and the opening credits sequence in general. The stark black background against the webbing sets such a perfect mood for the film, and the music is fantastic. It's very grand, almost waltz-like, and it reminds me of Franz Waxman's score for "The Bride of Frankenstein".
