Product Information

Death by Adaptation: Kenny and Tina survived in the book but both die in the disaster. Helen's fate is not said in the book but she's shown dying too. Subverted with Miss Desjardin - she's implied to die but is one of the survivors being interviewed. Carrie witnessed as Margaret agonized to her death, and screamed in terror over her loss. Carrie's powers then manifested on the loose, bringing the house down over her. Carrie rushes to her closet, carrying her mother and stayed there as the house came down, dying. In preparation for her role, Sissy Spacek isolated herself from the rest of the ensemble, decorated her dressing room with heavy religious iconography and studied Gustave Doré's illustrated Bible. She studied "the body language of people being stoned for their sins", starting or ending every scene in one of those positions. Carrie was born on September 21st, 1963 at 10:04 AM in Chamberlain, Maine. On the day of her birth, her mother is said to have grabbed a knife to kill Carrie due to her being perceived as a child of sin. However, she ended up using the knife to cut Carrie's umbilical cord instead. This is one of 3 mentioned murder attempts in the novel, all of which involve the same butcher knife. Before Carrie's father died, both Carrie’s parents had left the local Baptist church many years before, because they believed Baptists were doing the work of "The Antichrist". But they never found any other church in the area that was up to their traditional standards, so they held worship at home instead. When Ralph passed away, her mother survived off the money from the insurance and by working at the local laundry.

When Billy sees Carrie out on the road and decides to run her over, Chris screams at him to stop. She wanted Carrie humiliated, not turned into roadkill. She did think this in the book, but did nothing to stop Billy. Orphaned Series: Sort of. The film is a full adaptation of the book that had mild plans to continue as a TV series where Carrie survives and runs off. The ending is open enough to allow for a continuation, but still somewhat resolved. Billy and Chris die in the car trying to run Carrie over rather than at the motel. Carrie also kills them before her mother, whereas the book has Margaret die first.Never Found the Body: In a Description Cut, the investigators say this about Carrie, interspersed with a scene of Sue bringing food to Carrie in hiding, and new clothes to disguise herself.

Horror cinema flourished in the 1970s, and Brian De Palma‘s Carrie was one of the genre’s most successful outputs. Adapted from Stephen King’s 1974 novel of the same name, Carrie further boasted Sissy Spacek’s career following her acclaimed role in Terrence Mailk’s 1973 crime drama Badlands. It’s hard to imagine anyone else playing the troubled, telekinesis-possessed teenager Carrie White; Spacek fully embodies the role with horrifying verve.

Knowing she was responsible for what had happened to Ewen High and downtown Chamberlain, Billy tried to run Carrie down with his car to kill her. However, Carrie felt the car approaching and wrestled the oncoming vehicle with her telekinesis and violently slammed it full force into the roadhouse. Billy's nose was broken and his torso was crushed into the steering wheel. Chris was immediately thrown face-first into the dashboard, busting the glass windshield. The car exploded, killing both Chris and Billy instantly and also destroying the building, starting yet another major fire that burned all through the parking lot. One time, Chris Hargensen called her house phone after school from the downtown Kelly Fruit Company, where all the popular teens hung out, to ask her if she knew that pig's poop could spell "C-A-R-R-I-E". Tommy and Carrie win when the ballots are rigged. In the book it's a tie and they win in a run-off ballot. Because it went on that journey with her, the audience can feel her mind snap at that moment and completely understand why. She turned herself into a swan and they punished her for it. In this moment, we aren’t horrified by Carrie, we’re horrified for her.
