Carrie (1976)

Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

If you’ve got a taste for terror, you have a date for our episode covering the 1976 classic CARRIE!! That’s right, Brian De Pal-May continues with the high school hell created by the pen of Stephen King - an explosive dance of teenage hormones, religious mania, and plenty of split-diopter lens shots!! Along the way, we dig into the backstory that brought this unlikely blockbuster to the screen and the Oscar stage, explore how adult inaction fosters the bad attitudes in this blackboard jungle, uncover the origins of the primordial King Bully, and expand on the class struggle within this telekinetic teen body horror story!! All this, plus crucifixion organisms, mid poetry, bad miracles, and a devastating edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! No stone goes unturned nor unthrown from the sky in this deep dive exploration into every major character in this Kill By Kill favorite!! Check it out!!
