“Because it was a horror movie and it was going to have a horror movie ending,” Eric Kripke tells EW
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for the series finale of “Supernatural.”) “Supernatural” reached the end of its very long road Thursday night with a series vfinale that was not the one scripted by the show’s creator — but one that he said fans probably liked much more than his own. “I will say this,” Kripke, who created the Jensen Ackles- and Jared Padalecki-led series, which debuted on The CW in 2005, told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published after the finale aired. “There’s only one scene that I haven’t done that I would’ve done for the end of the show and I’m certainly not going to give it away, maybe one day I will. But I can assure the fans that my ending was so much darker than the ending they’re going with, so anyone who’s like, ‘Kripke should’ve ended it,’ I’m like, ‘You would’ve hated my ending!’ Because it was a horror movie and it was going to have a horror movie ending, so I can promise you the ending [they went with] you’ll love much more than if you had let me end the show.
