Opening Sequence

Season 1 (2013-2014)

Like all openings, the intro is a homage to the Simpsons opening. The very first opening starts off with a pan through a forest road to the show's main setting (filmed in Marystown, Newfoundland). The camera swoops off the highway and to a brown school (where Henry was taught at the time), where we see, through a window, Henry in an empty classroom filing his nails. The school bell rings shortly thereafter and Henry dashes out happily. He takes his bike and rides it away from school down the street. Meanwhile, at the supermarket, Britney Spears (as usual in her getup from "Scream & Shout") is checking out groceries whilst reading a magazine. The bags are stuffed into her cart and she exits with a smile. The camera then cuts to Henry who is merrily biking, where he dodges a streetlight, and in between some of the citizens. After disappearing, Britney arrives in the junction in a blue sports car. The camera closes up on her hands steering, a close-up of the tires, a close-up of Spears' foot releasing the gas, back at the wheel where she makes a hard left with one hand, and finally revealing her after zooming away from her chest. Britney takes note of something up ahead and honks twice. The camera then quickly zooms away from her to the house the two friends are staying at. Henry arrives first, jumping off his bike, which rides itself into the opening garage. He waits for a few seconds for his pal to arrive, and not long after, she comes speeding in. The camera cuts to her POV as she squeals brakes and stops just at the workshop door. She steps out, reunites with her friend, share a hug with him, and they enter their living quarters as the title of the show appears.

Season 1 Halloween (2013)

A shorter, alternate version was used on "Treats and Tricks". The opening starts off in the usual entrance where it is now stormy and trees are violently swaying in the wind. The camera swoops down by the highway past a few upturned cars, where we meet up to the school. Henry is shown in the classroom painting something with actual blood, with a bucket filled with it to refill. The bell rings and he runs out. The camera abruptly cuts to Spears driving down the slick road. She hits a rut in the road quite jerkily, but she dismisses it. Then, we cut to the driveway scene where Henry ends up slipping on the wet pavement trying to jump off and ends up tangled in his own bike. Sadly enough, Spears is heading towards him at that moment honking desperately for him to move. All he can do is limp away from her into the garage. She tries to brake, but fails, the brakes having been apparently cut. She ends up speeding into Henry (pinning him between her car and the wall/door), killing them both. Spears' death varies depending on where you're to. In North American airings, she bangs her face on the wheel. In others, she suffocates into her rather giant airbag. The camera pans out from the wreckage as the show name appears in blood red.
