**mild spoilers for straw dogs, phantasm and carrie I suppose**

I watched both straw dogs and phantasm for the first time last weekend, and I was wondering, what was the first film to do the carrie ending? You know, the bad guys been defeated, nice calming music plays, and then the bad guy comes back from the dead for one final scare. There must be hundreds of horror films with this ending but does anyone know what was the earliest? Straw dogs was made in 72 so it might be that.
(I'm calling it the carrie ending as that film sticks out in my mind as a good early example of it)
Anyone?
