    This was Stephen Kings first novel, and the story goes that King was flat broke, living in a trailer and working at a laundromat at night while his wife Tabitha’s was pregnant. King wrote this novel, thought it was no good and threw it in the trash. His wife fished it out without him knowing, read it and told him “you know this is really good. You should finish it. Which he did and his agent called him back with the good new that it had not only sold, but the paperback rights were $500,000 and a movie option. He was never broke again and the rest is history

Carrie didn’t have to do a damn thing. it was her mother. And kids pick up on the rumors and the truth of what her mother did and they took it out on Carrie. It’s what kids do.

    In the original novel Carrie White isn't just telekinetic, she's a monstrous psychic powerhouse with _at least_ telekinesis and telepathy, and instead of just sealing up the gym and burning it down with everyone inside she _telekinetically destroys most of the town_ all while _broadcasting a telepathic message to everyone telling them what she is doing and why._

    This has always struck me as far less a horror story than a heartbreaking tragedy. Carrie was dealt such an unfair hand with a religious fanatic, lunatic mother who abused her and kept her isolated and lonely, and then, on her one happy night, a psychotic group of vicious students did something so cruel that she simply broke and lashed out like an injured animal. It's so sad that she was bullied past the breaking point. Sue is the only one who acknowledged her own bad behavior towards Carrie and tried to do a kind deed by giving up her own prom date so Carrie could go. Tommy was so sweet and sensitive to Carrie and realized he really liked her. He's the one who reacted with anger after the blood fell on her, but, sadly, the bucket killed him. 😥

    Stephen King's first book. I was and still am amazed at how he says he didn't know anything about women when he wrote it, because it nails so much to the table.
    Fun fact: When Piper Laurie, who played Margaret White, got the script and read it for the first time, she thought it was a comedy. She couldn't believe Margaret was a serious character. Thus her operatic performance. It was her idea to play the woman's death as the ultimate orgasm. "It was what she's been looking forward to her whole life, after all."

      @@UndeadRamen Rose Madder is one of my favorite novels. He's tried a number of times to work with mythological ideas, and he doesn't always hit the target, mostly because his novelist bent makes him fill in too many gaps. But with Rose Madder, he hit the target; his otherworld was beguilingly vague and creepy while being an excellent evocation of the Labyrinth. (Being a pagan, I'm always a little amused at how desperately he tries to avoid saying that Rose is a goddess. He seems to have a real allergy to the idea of a female deity; the very word "goddess" only ever comes up as an epithet or a harbinger of evil. I don't hold it against him, though.)

      If you were Gen X, you were too young to have seen this one during first run. I'm just few years too old for Gen X and I saw it because mom and my aunt brought me with them to the theater with them when I was in 6th grade, It scared the hell out of me because I was still teased a lot in elementary school, and I was scared to death about having to dress out and take showers in PE the next year when my grade moved up to the old junior high school building that was just for grades 7 and 8 like most junior highs were back then,

      Stephen King also wrote the novella "The Body" on which the movie "Stand By Me" is based. I would love to see you react to King's miniseries "Rose Red." It also involves people with psychic abilities and a haunted house. King wrote the screenplay.

    PJ Soles (the actress in the red hat) burst an eardrum when she was hit with the fire hose during the prom scene. You can also see her in a musical classic, Rock 'n' Roll High School.
    Piper Laurie, who played Carrie's mother, approached the film like a comedy. That's why her performance was so over-the-top. Ironically, the performance she didn't take seriously got her an Oscar nomination, to go with the nomination she received for her earlier work in The Hustler. Also well worth checking out.
