10 Secret Post-Credits Horror Movie Scenes That Were Absolute Genius

Before he was a superhero bigwig heading up DC’s entire cinema output, James Gunn was directing a horror-comedy about an evil alien worm.

Slither from 2006 begins with a meteorite landing on Earth, bringing with it an otherworldly parasite that possesses the body of a wealthy man named Grant Grant. Yep, that’s his name.

The alien quickly takes over, transforming its poor victim into a vile creature with wiggling tentacles and murderous intent. It’s up to the local chief of police and Grant’s wife to stop this monster before the whole town becomes infected.
