  • Stephen King adaptations are a dime a dozen these days. It seems like every month, there's a King story being adapted to the world of cinema. But it all had to start somewhere. So join us as we cover the debut of one of the greatest authors of all time with 1976's Carrie.

    Written, Edited, and Narrated by Tyler Nichols
    Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon
    Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian
    SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

    I first saw this as a kid when I was around 9 years old, and it really freaked me out. I'm also pretty sure the locker room scene at the start was the first time I ever saw what naked ladies looked like.
    I bought the Arrow Video special edition blu-ray recently. Another really nice set and its great learning more about the making of the film. It really does hold up well I think, real classic film.

    My cousins wife is named after this movie. Her parents hadn’t chosen a name for her yet when she was born and when they were there after the birth due to Carrie having been premature they watched the movie on network tv in their hospital room and decided to name her Carrie because they liked the movie so much.
    Sadly they both ended up being institutionalized for mental health issues while Carrie was growing up and remain there to this day.
    Carrie herself has struggled with mental health issues throughout her life but has never been institutionalized and remains married to my cousin to this day.
    She actually resembles sissy spacek as well, however with a heavier body weight.

    Lots of people these days complain about the spinning around scene, but not me. I see the dizziness that develops in the viewer as a way of showing--not telling--the dizzying feeling that Carrie must have been feeling because of how happy she was--perhaps for the first time in her life. It imparts a seen of 'otherworldliness' for the viewer. You are just getting your feet again when the blood comes, and after the blood comes the screaming.

    I liked the 2013 prom because we see Carrie enjoying using her power for harm as in the book. I wish they kept the extended death scenes as I loved when she lights a girl on fire by whipping her with bare electrical cables. I also liked when she bisects and crushes the boys with the bleachers. We should have gotten more dismemberment. Even when she throws the cables into the water and electrocuted everyone, we kinda speed past it so we can see Billy and Chris die.

    The reason why Carrie 2002 had a different ending compared to the others was because it was originally going to be the pilot movie of a television show for the film. It never happened due to low ratings.

  • @HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66

    Would certainly rank in my top 10 films of all time. There is just ZERO wrong with this film, not a flaw, not a blurb, not a single misstep or misfire. It is one of those films that is sincerely FLAWLESS, timeless, and holds its own against anything filmed since. From the writing, to DePalma's signature cinematography, framing and edit style, to the perfect casting...it all came together like a magic recipe for perfection in filmmaking. SO yeah, I think I like it a lot...lmao

    Fun Fact: The "sequel" The Rage: Carrie 2 was originally not intended to be a sequel to the film at all. Originally just called "The Rage" it was based on the Sex Book scandal from around the film's conception, about a group of teenage boys who made a scoring system about having sex with as many different girls as possible in school (points based on if the girl was hot, if she was easy, if you could get her to do things without protection, etc), and about one the girls having the power to lash back at those men. However, the people who made it realized it had a lot in common with Carrie, since the studio in charge of it owned the rights to the original Carrie, they figured "what the hell?" and shoehorned in the links to the original Carrie. You can really tell this was added late in the screenplay, since the Guidance Counciler being the last girl from the first movie and the "second" Carrie meeting her mother had literally no impact on the story whatsoever.

Anyway I wanted to say I was pleasantly surprised by that video as I thought it would go in the favor of part two. But child's Play part 1 was the winner.

      Hot girls don't get bullied. It's usually the other way around.

      @@molasorrosalom4846 May be now but not in 90s when i was in middle school. I remember this one girl in my Grade 4 class got buIied for her looks (Chubby cheeks, curly hair).
      The pretty one got teased but not bullied. She even got a gift from one of my classmate of mine and she gave it to the teacher (a conch shell with "Happy Birthday" written) lol.
