Stephen King has written and published 67 novels since 1974, and it turns out his very first one is still making impressive waves. The talented writer’s debut, Carrie, is a thrilling novel about Carrie White, a bullied teen girl in high school who has telekinetic powers and gets pushed to her breaking point after being humiliated by a cruel prank at her prom. After being adapted into a film in 1976, the story quickly became known as not just one of the essential must-read horror novels of all time, but one of the essential must-watch horror movies of all time.
In addition to being recognized as an overall epic movie, Carrie is now being recognized for its disturbingly memorable ending, in Entertainment Weekly‘s “20 Best Horror Movie Endings of All Time” list. The supernatural’s disturbingly memorable conclusion, which includes the title character, played by Sissy Spacek, coming face to face with her abusive mother and burning down their house, was ranked at No. 6, proving it’s still impactful 50 years later.
The classic film, directed by Brian De Palma, is one of four film adaptations of Carrie, which includes a sequel and a television movie. On Oct. 7, the first miniseries based on the novel premiered on Amazon Prime. The 8-episode feature was created by Mike Flanagan and is a modernized reimagining of the story, introducing an entire new generation to the characters and the devastating effects torment can lead to.
King, dotingly dubbed as the “King of Horror” by many fans and critics, expressed his support for the new show when he called Flanagan the “best adapter” of his work, in a video message on social media. He also encouraged followers to watch the new adaptation and teased that their interest could lead to Flanagan doing “something else that’s really special.”
