Was your high school prom an absolute nightmare? Carrie White can relate and then some! For the third week in our horror series, we dive into the film adaptation of Stephen King's spectacularly tragic tale, Carrie - which not only was King's first published novel, but also his first book to be adapted into a film! In this episode, Georgia and John discuss how Brian De Palma and George Lucas shared casting calls for Carrie and Star Wars, the split screen editing and cinematography choices, Pino Donaggio's haunting score, the richly deserved (and unheard of for a horror film) Oscar nominations for Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, the impressive car stunt by Dick Ziker, the interesting differences between the book and Lawrence D. Cohen's screenplay, Hitchcock comparisons, and the genesis of the jump scare. Stop on by and geek out with us, because if you miss this episode, they're all gonna laugh at you!
