Supernatural changes its opening credits each season, unlike many other series. Some episodes in each season have unique, thematic title cards.
Watch the seasons 1—13 opening titles.
Contents
Season One
The first season's title card was fairly simple, the word "Supernatural" zoomed in and then out of the screen. It mimics the jerky movements of Supernatural's ghost's flickering. An alternative, but not used title sequence was produced and published on the Season 1 DVD as a special feature. Two different versions of the title sequence can be watched here.
Season Two
This title card features the word "Supernatural" appearing out of bursting flames with the letter "A" in the form of a pentagram.
Season Three
First, the "Key of Solomon" symbol appears followed by "Supernatural" amidst what look like thunderclouds, or possibly the iconic demonic "black clouds."
3.08 A Very Supernatural Christmas
The title card is preceded by a version of the old CBS Special Presentation ident. Sleigh bells are heard and a Christmas ornament explodes on the screen and then the episode's title appears.
3.13 Ghostfacers
The season three title card is interrupted by Harry Spengler and Ed Zeddmore as they introduce the Ghostfacers pilot episode with their own opening credits sequence.
Season Four
This season begins with a bunch of wings flapping followed by the sound of someone screaming and then "Supernatural."
4.05 Monster Movie
This episode's title card was designed to fit the look of the old school black and white films from the early to mid-1900s.
4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book
The title card of 4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book featured the artwork from the covers of the Supernatural books written by Carver Edlund.
4.22 Lucifer Rising
The end card is a negative of the usual credit card. In other words, the color of the background is white rather than the usual black.
Season Five
As always, "Supernatural" appears on the screen, but this time with a drop of blood dispersing in the background, accompanied by the sound of a heart beat, angels whispering, and a high pitch sound.
5.08 Changing Channels
In 5.08 Changing Channels "Together (The Supernatural Sitcom Theme)" plays over opening credits which mimic those of '80s sitcom like Full House.
Season Six
A pane of glass shatters, revealing the title "Supernatural."
6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...
In 6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe..., the opening credits to the episode are a homage to the 1990's series The X-Files, using similar music and images. The final text “The Truth Is in There” is a twist on the X-Files catchphrase “The Truth Is Out There.” The sequence bears a few similarities to the unused title sequences found as an Easter egg on the season one DVDs.
- Supernatural title sequence for Clap Your Hands If You Believe... real title sequence.
- Supernatural title sequence for Clap Your Hands If You Believe... with the X-Files theme song.
- The X-Files opening credits.
6.18 Frontierland
The opening titles are a homage to the 1960's Western series Bonanza, See its opening titles here. The music played during the credits is somewhat similar to Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold," a piece he wrote for the Clint Eastwood movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Watch the scene here.
Supernatural: The Animation
From the Japanese anime adaptation of Supernatural.
Season Seven
Black text on a white background. The word "Supernatural" appears out of thick black explosion of mist and drips black fluid like Leviathan blood.
7.08 Season Seven, Time for a Wedding!
A wedding cake explodes, morphing into the goo of the season 7 titles.
7.14 Plucky Pennywhistle's Magic Menagerie
As Sam is attacked by evil clowns, the title explodes out of rainbow-coloured sparkly goo.
Season Eight
The title "Supernatural" explodes on the screen from a Word of God tablet.
8.11 LARP and the Real Girl
As Sam and Dean take part in the Battle of the Kingdoms, titles roll honoring those who died in the battle.
Season Nine
The title "Supernatural" appears over a set of burning angel wings, that explode in a blinding white light.
9.04 Slumber Party
Unused alternative title card. This was tweeted by Jared a day before the episode aired. It features the message: "This is for the SPNFamily whose dedication and love drive us to continue creating this wonderful world. Keeping up the Family Business."
9.18 Meta Fiction
The burned out wings and title are sucked back in, to reveal, in another explosion of light the title "Metatron" in all its angelic glory.
Season Ten
Demon smoke dissipates leaving a cleansed soul, culminating in an explosion revealing the title "Supernatural" over an inverted pentagram.
10.05 Fan Fiction
The DIY title card used for the Supernatural musical, is followed by a montage of all the title cards ever used (with the exception of the title cards for season 4, 4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book, 5.08 Changing Channels, season 7, 7.14 Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie, and season 8) ending on the season 10 card.
Season Eleven
A white light flashes, and the title "Supernatural" appears in gold over a dark smokey background. Unlike previous seasons, the season's number flashes briefly on screen.
Season Twelve
"Supernatural" explodes over a Men of Letters Aquarian Star, that becomes seared into flesh.
Season Thirteen
"Supernatural" appears over a golden Nephilim iris, as bolts of lightning crackle in the surrounding dark clouds. The iris is bisected by the image of the rift to Apocalypse World. The "T" in Supernatural flickers and appears as an inverted cross.
13.16 Scoobynatural
Starting from the typical Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? opening, it quickly cuts to an animated version of the season 13 title card, with "Scoobynatural" replacing "Supernatural" and ending with Scooby-Doo laughing along with the supernatural noises.
Season Fourteen
A flash of light leads to a pair of angel wings surrounded by rings of blue fire (reminiscent of an archangel's halo), as the wings flap the fires are extinguished revealing a pentagram.
