About this episode

Spooky Season continues on Reel Chronicles as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Brian De Palma’s horror classic, Carrie!

This week, Dave, Jack, and special guests Rory and JC head back to Bates High to revisit Stephen King’s unforgettable story of teenage cruelty, religious fanaticism, telekinetic powers, and one seriously disastrous prom night.

The crew dives into Sissy Spacek’s iconic performance, Piper Laurie’s terrifying Margaret White, De Palma’s direction, the film’s most memorable moments, and why Carrie remains one of the defining horror films of the 1970s five decades later.

Plus, we break out our usual categories, look at what has aged the best and worst, and determine where Carrie ranks among the greatest Stephen King adaptations ever made.
