After an hour or so of creepy, creepy, statues and shop mannequins that come to life and murder your face off, nothing in the world could be more relaxing than a little footage showing that these things are absolutely everywhere you look. Have fun sleeping tonight! Usually takes the form of a single lingering shot or a montage at the end of a film or episode and is a common way of ending a horror film on a creepy note. It is often accompanied by spooky music and may include a Jump Scare. This trope is (almost exclusively) used as a way to wrap up a film or episode in a way that is scary. |

Thought this might actually be a subversion in that only one baby godzilla survives and it imprints on the protagonist of Godzilla: The Series, who trains it to be the defender of New York. The resulting status quo is demonstrated by this awesome albeit physics-defying opening. | |

The Babadook is a case of this. In his book, it is stated "If it's in a word or it's in a look...You can't get rid of the Babadook" and both Protagonist Amelia as well as her son Samuel are very aware that they can't fight him or even get help. By the end of the movie, Amelia and Samuel survive by scaring the creature through screaming, but the ending shows that the Babadook lives in their basement now, feeding on the worms he gets from Amelia and that he tries to re-possess her every single time she comes down the staircase. Subtextually, The Babadook is a manifestation of Amelia's ugly feelings like grief, anger, and resentment over being widowed with a difficult-to-raise child; she can learn to control and live with it, but it'll never truly go away. | |

At the end of the Dragon Age: Origins DLC "The Golems of Amgarrak", the last shot is of the Warden leaving the ruins after putting an end to the Harvester that massacred the dwarves there ...shortly followed by dozens more Harvesters scuttling after. | |

Are You Afraid of the Dark?: In "The Dangerous Soup", the heroes think they have conquered the demon and their fears once and for all, but then Dr. Vink locks them both in the freezer to face further unseen (by the audience) horrors, saying that he is "going to be in business for a long time". In "The Curious Camera", after the titular camera is finally destroyed, the Gremlin possessing it jumps to a video camera. Then after THAT is taken out, it possesses a computer. At the end of "The Hatching", one of the reptile eggs is still intact, and begins to hatch. |

It Follows has this as the whole premise, as "It" will always, always find its way to you if you're Its current target. The Ambiguous Ending hints that It may still be alive and stalking the protagonists, as an out-of-focus figure in the background seems to be walking slowly but surely towards them... | |

Night of the Creeps has an odd variant. The final shot is a graveyard, which implies the space leeches are burrowing down to incubate in the brains of the dead... but there's a spaceship hovering over the graveyard, which implies that the aliens are here to clean up the space leeches — possibly at the expense of the human race. | |

In the novel The Ring, Sadako is explicitly using the cursed videotape to spread her influence, but then she spreads to a report on the tape, a novelization of her story, the movie adaptation of the novel... | |

Species. At the very end, after the Sil monster is destroyed we see a rat chewing on a piece of her body. The rat mutates, indicating that it will become another Sil. | |

Cabin Fever: at the end of the film we see children playing in the water downstream from a dead body of one of the infected, this changes to a shot of people drinking the contaminated water and a tanker of it heading off into the distance to be sold as spring-water all over the country. The ending of Cabin Fever 2 more explicitly showed the spread of the disease through an animated montage. |

The bad endings to the second Clock Tower, where the search for the statue needed to break the Barrows curse comes to a dead end. Jennifer even notes in her journal that "there is no way for us to escape from Scissorman"... and then the scene cuts to black just as the sound of clanking scissors is heard outside the window. In Helen's version of the ending, she finds Jennifer dead at her desk, with a pair of scissors in her back and doesn't notice Scissorman is hiding right behind the door. |

In Ju-on: The Curse 2, Noboyuki is one of the few that survive up to the end. He is cleaning up school, stuck with an emotionless face before he suddenly gets hunted by Kayako again. He escapes her multiple times, but there are multiple Kayakos and they corner him. By the end of the scene, they are all banging against the windows and seen standing on the schoolyard. In the third movie, the curse has spread across the entire city of Tokyo and it is left unknown, if all of Japan or possibly the entire world might have fallen victim to it as well... |

Godzilla (1998) ends with eggs hatching. Thought this might actually be a subversion in that only one baby godzilla survives and it imprints on the protagonist of Godzilla: The Series, who trains it to be the defender of New York. The resulting status quo is demonstrated by this awesome albeit physics-defying opening. |

The Return of the Living Dead ends with a replay of the sequence in which the zombie-creating 245-Trioxin vapors rise into the clouds, get dispersed in the rain, and sink into the graveyard. Considering how much of the chemical must've been converted to toxic smoke by the nuclear weapon, it's implied that a lot of the Midwest will soon be getting soaked with radioactive Zombie Rain. | |

In Baldur's Gate, after Sarevok is defeated, we get a shot of his statue crumbling to dust. Then the camera moves away, showing an underground temple of Bhaal, filled with rows upon rows of statues. | |
