10 Movies Where The Post-Credit Scene Is The Best Part

James Gunn may now be best known as the head of the new DCU, and, of course, the man behind the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, but his directing debut back in 2006 was a far cry from the comic book world in which he has made his name.

It may have featured frequent collaborators Nathan Fillion and Michael Rooker, but there wasn't a superhero in sight. Instead, body horror story Slither revolved around an alien parasite taking over a small town. There is charm there for sure, but it is far from the director's best work.

Coming somewhat before the post-credit cinematic craze, Gunn gave audiences one final scene before the end. The remains of the horrific alien-human hybrid that Grant (Rooker) ultimately became was approached by a cat, who began to eat it before seemingly being infected as the screen went black.

Used more for comedy than anything, it was a great moment to leave audiences with. It was both funny and disgusting in equal measure, and could have teased something of a sequel had the film not been a box office disaster, reportedly failing to recoup its modest $15 million budget.
