Thanks. I like them.  Its way more you. |
I think so too.
I am also a fan of the movie Carrie and I decided to post photos from the classic horror film, but I forgot that there are little kids on this forum who would be creeped out by them.
It's about an awkward teenage girl who is tormented by her schoolmates on a daily basis, lives with her religious fanatic mother and gets her revenge on prom night.
Based on Stephen King's first novel, this 1976 film by Brian DePalma launched the careers of Amy Irving, Nancy Allen, William Katt, John Travolta, Sissy Spacek (she had done Badlands earlier, but this one "put her on the map") and rejuvenated the career of Piper Laurie, a starlet of the 1950s who hadn't done a film since The Hustler in 1961. Spacek and Laurie each received Oscar nominations for this movie, unheard-of for a horror film.
I have the 25th anniversary DVD which contains a behind the scenes featurette with cast and crew interviews, and here's an interesting note--the casting session for Carrie was also for the original Star Wars, so William Katt and Amy Irving were almost Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, and Carrie Fisher almost got the title role for Carrie!
Sorry I went on and on there, but I truly love this movie, the way Trainwreck loves the Civil War.
