BEGIN MAIN TITLE SEQUENCE.
At the very edge of hearing, the tone of human VOICES.

Unintelligible, babbling, eerie.  Then a loud FLAPPING SOUND.  It

shifts from one side of the theater to the other, like something

moving among the wall hangings.
As the TITLE appears, the noise mounts, drowning out the VOICES,

agitated, becoming violent, banging... inhuman.
