American Horror Story opening credits was created by by Kyle Cooper and his company Prologue, who also created the opening scenes for Seven and The Walking Dead which also have iconic opening scenes. The title sequence is almost like a mystery where by the time you see the 9th episode of this season every image in that title sequence will be explained.
The song also gives clues to the show, for example the ambient noises and the sound of dripping water which becomes relevant when you watch the series. The tone of the music is quite sinister which fits in perfectly with the images.
The main feature of the opening scene which inspired us is the fast cross cutting shots and how the rhythm/speed in which the images are sequenced. The short staggering cuts between frames gives a stop motion effect that also adds to the tension. Below is a video analysis of the 5 opening credits for each season of the AHS series.
