Crazy Credits

In the theatrical version, after all of the credits have rolled there is a
scene shot from inside of a closet looking out into a darkened room with a
boy sleeping. The boy awakes and asks his mother (not pictured) to shut the
closet door. Footsteps are heard as she approaches the door, but as she
closes it, there is a huge slam noise and the screen cuts to a blue screen
displaying, "This film was rated PG-13". See more »
