John Dies at the End
Two slacker friends who accidentally ingest a mind‑bending drug must navigate surreal, shifting realities to uncover and halt an otherworldly invasion before humanity is consumed.
“Just so you know... they're sorry for anything that's about to happen.”
Synopsis
A new drug offers users out-of-body experiences, but those who take it return altered in ways that are not fully understood. At the same time, an otherworldly invasion of Earth is in progress.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
