Title Card
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—11 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.

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.
