Carrie (1976)

It's hard to imagine a time when Stephen King wasn't the king of
horror fiction. It's hard to imagine a world without such
influential stories including The Shining, The Stand, Christine,
and King's first novel, Carrie. Yet before November, 1976 King was
just another author with two modest-selling novels. But when Brian
De Palma decides to adapt Carrie for the big screen he created an
iconic horror movie staple, and from that King's book sold millions
of copies and his career was minted. Now, in anticipation of the
upcoming third adaptation of Carrie starring Chloë Grace Moretz the
Now Playing hosts go back to watch and review De Palma's original.
It's the start of Now Playing's massive Stephen King retrospective
series, looking at all the movies based on King's writings,
starting with Carrie. Does De Palma's blood soaked tale of a teen
outcast still hold up over 35 years later? Listen to find out! Then
join Arnie at booksandnachos.com for his review of the original
novel!
