Stay or Skip: Does Obsession Have a Post-Credits Scene?
Wondering if Obsession hides a post-credits stinger? Curry Barker’s supernatural shocker follows Bear, a music-store clerk who shatters the wish-granting toy One Wish Willow to win his childhood crush—only to unleash a nightmare—so here’s whether you should stay seated.
For anyone out there prepping to catch Obsession (a supernatural horror flick with a wish-granting toy and, naturally, strings attached), you might be wondering: do I need to stick around through the credits? Is there some cryptic teaser or Marvel-style stinger dropping clues for a sequel?
Spoiler: You Can Leave When the Credits Hit
A quick, definitive answer: nope—no post-credits scene, no mid-credits hijinks, nothing hiding at the tail end of Obsession. Once the credits start rolling, you’re free to make your exit or start debating whether you’d use a haunted wish toy for romance. (I mean, come on. We all know this never ends well.)
The movie is directed by Curry Barker and follows Bear, who works at a music store and stumbles onto a mysterious toy called 'One Wish Willow.' The pitch is classic supernatural monkey-paw stuff: break the toy, get a wish, but overlook the small print and your life goes sideways. Bear’s wish? To make his childhood crush fall for him. And, as expected, there’s a serious catch. If you’ve seen a horror movie in the last twenty years, you can pretty much guess where this goes—the consequences are not pretty.
Self-Contained Story (For Now)
Why no bonus scenes? Simple: Obsession doesn’t leave a pile of loose threads hanging. There’s no obvious sequel hook, and as of now, Universal isn’t teasing anything about a part two. Sequels in this genre usually depend on how much cash the first movie pulls in and whether the audience is still buzzing about it a month later. So, if you were hoping for some big revelation after the credits, you won’t get it here—the story closes itself off pretty efficiently.
Barker's Weird Sequel, Kind Of?
Now, here’s the interesting/odd bit. Barker did mention in an interview with GamesRadar+ that he’s toying with the idea for more Obsession—but not in the way you might expect. Instead of a direct sequel, he’s interested in making something closer to an anthology series.
'What really is exciting to me [would be doing] an anthology, like a one-hour episode. Maybe I'll direct the pilot with the same DP, and then you could invite other filmmakers to give their spin at it. That would be really cool.'
So basically, ditched the sequel approach and wants to go episodic—each entry built around a new wish and new ‘bad things happening’ scenario. Every episode would focus on somebody else breaking the toy and their own wish gone wrong. He seems pretty keen on the idea of collaborating with other directors, too. Which, honestly, sounds more unique than churning out another standard horror franchise sequel.
In Short
- Obsession (directed by Curry Barker) is a one-and-done story with no current sequel setup.
- No post-credits scene—so don’t bother hanging around for any last-minute teases.
- Barker dreams of expanding the concept as an anthology, with each story focusing on a different cursed wish.
Bottom line: Enjoy the movie, skip the credits, and maybe reflect on why nobody ever uses these wish-granting curses to get something sensible like student loan forgiveness.
