Carrie is one of the few horror films to be nominated for multiple Academy Awards. Spacek and Laurie both received nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Well deserved! They were both fantastic here!

I laughed when you said we've been saying carrie is iconic for 50 years and then gasped when I realised it actually HAS been 50 years 😅

Every reactor I’ve seen thinks Tommy and Sue are in on the “Prank” but they’re actually not. Also “I can see your dirty pillows” is one of the wildest lines I’ve heard haha.

They weren't all laughing, she was hallucinating.

I always felt bad for Sue. She felt guilty for bullying Carrie, tried to do something nice for her, and it ended in tragedy. Her boyfriend, friends, and so many others, dead. I can't even imagine how they legitimately think she's going to just move on.

Carrie is one of my favorite books. I love the tragedy of it all and the writing style of how the story is told.

Carrie is one of my favorites! RIP Piper Laurie ♡

In the book Carrie destroys half the town

20 minutes in, you took it to another level. Your comments, your looks at the camera had me rollin. Haven't laughed this hard in awhile. Well done Mr. Trophy (formerly Mr. Muncher).

#RIP Piper Laurie(Carrie's Mom who died in 2023). Sissy Spacek worked as a set dresser with her future husband on DePalma's film Phantom of the Paradise and had acted previously so she called him to see if she could audition. He said yes but he thought he chose someone but when she came by dressed poorly, acting Carrie out of the park she landed the role. That was not a Jesus but a St. Sebastian statue. During the dinner scene before prom, the picture of The Last Supper was prominent. The gym teacher Betty Buckley this was her first film role but she does Broadway and other horror like The Happening. Norma(PJ Soles) was in the original Halloween and was really injured when she was sprayed by the hose injuring her left eardrum so her screams were real and left in the film. The character of Carrie was based on two girls that Stephen King knew growing up but put the various traits into one and added a supernatural element. Sue's mom(Priscilla Pointer) is her real mom! Tommy(William Katt) of tvs The Greatest American hero and film did die by the bucket according to the book since they were made from steel. DePalma got Carrie by doing the horror film SISTERS with Margot Kidder and followed Carrie with The Fury another telekinesis film based on a series of 4 John Farris books about psychic twins(Non related) staring Amy Irving! Carrie the telefilm is closer to the novel than the remake with Chloe Grace Moretz. There is also a sequel Carrie 2: The Rage which brings back the Sue Snell character. The boy who fell off his bike was Cameron Depalma the director's nephew. In the book, it states that Carrie's female cousin also has the same power so that it must be part of the DNA that certain females in her hereditary line get. Piper Laurie would star in another horror film called RUBY about a possessed daughter following the success of Carrie. This was not John Travolta's first film but The Devil's Rain was but he would star again in Blow Out with Nancy Allen(Chris). Other than Blow Out, Nancy Allen who would marry/divorce Depalma did the mystery/slasher Dressed to Kill for him. Although Sissy was nominated for Best Actress and did not win(Faye Dunaway ,Network) she would win Best Actress in Coal Miner's Daughter. The book and film are very different since people at the prom survive and Carrie kills townspeople and destroys businesses which eventually brings in a government commission to investigate called the White Commission. Fun facts: the bucket scene at the prom took 3 days of a 10 day shoot and studios thought it was ridiculous of DePalma for being such a perfectionist. This film was a horror and not supposed to do well but in today's box office it made almost 100 million! Both Depalma and George Lucas(Star Wars) were casting their films at the same time so people like Carrie Fischer and Mark Hamill were reading for Carrie and Amy Irving and William Katt for Star Wars. Can you imagine the actors being switched? Hope the context helps! King actually threw out Carrie in the trash but his wife Tabitha rescued it and encouraged him to finish it. He did and a publisher bought it and later the film rights were sold and the rest is history. The line regarding Carrie's dress: I knew it would be Red was an ad lib by Laurie which was left in since she was picturing what the character would think not what was written in the script.

This film is a masterpiece.

I never understand why everyone thinks Sue's setting Carrie up. In the book as she's walking away all the hydrants explode so when the firetrucks get there they won't be any water to put the fire out. "That sound" was first used in "Psycho", 1960.

A lot of people think Tommy (and Sue) were in on the prank, but they both tried to do the right thing. I did watch this one time at home and turned it off after they announced the king and queen to give it a happy ending lol

I think Carrie brought the house down on herself (and her dead mother) as an act of final suicide. The last "jump scare" was wild, when you consider watching this when it first came out in a full film theatre - believe me.

I also jumped with you on that last scene 😅love your reactions to these older films :D

Everyone wasn’t laughing at Carrie when the bucket of blood landed on her. She was so traumatized from her mother and bullies that it tipped her over the edge, especially hearing her mother’s voice in her head. She killed all those people for nothing. Sad tragedy.

The part when the house collapse it is supposed to be a hail of stones she had brought down when she was little. But it is only portrayed in the book and the 2002 remake and the 2013 remake. But because of the special effects they were able to do back then, it was clearly impossible. So it just shows that she destroys the whole house.

I saw this movie at the drive in when it came out. I was 12. It wasn’t until MANY years later that I understood what dirty pillows were. 😅 The book is very short and very, very different than his other books. It’s one of my favorites though because it’s so different than Stephen King’s writing style.

omg you're hilarious!! i never expected a horror movie reaction to be so funny 😂 subscribed!

Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!😊😊😊😊

The people laughing are only in her mind.

The scary sound is borrowed from the movie Psycho. Her high school is Bates High School a nod to Norman Bates. All Brian Depalma movies are fantastic. Nancy Allen is in Dressed to Kill and Blowout with John Travolta again

It's hardly "way after" The Excorcist-only 3 years earlier-Carrie came out the same year as "The Omen"🎩

The Best Carrie film made no other version even comes close to so many Talented Actors Norma played on the original Halloween Sues Mother was her real mother . Tommy went on to be Greatest American Hero the list goes on.

Carrie covered in blood is a look.😂 Of course it would be for Halloween but it's still a look. Somehow she looked so dope, she made it kinda look good.🤣🤣

I love Carrie! Loved the book and the movie. I've read a lot of Stephen King lol the 22.11.63 book is great! I'd recommend watching Dolores Claiborne. James Garner was amazing R.I.P. I think Carrie is the only horror movie that actually made me cry lol and I don't think I've seen anyone not wanting her to kill everyone 😂

Great eye on catching the incredible shot at the prom done in one take. It took an entire day to stage and shoot that one shot. You should definitely check out some other Brian De Palma films, like Dressed to Kill and Blow Out. Great thrillers, stylishly directed. De Palma was very influenced by Alfred Hitchcock and pays homage to his films a lot. De Palma is also noted for using split screen and split diopter shots.

This reaction was excellent 😂

Back then it was widely believed you should cover up with blankets & sweat out a fever. Turns out that can cause the fever to go too high & the patient can go into convulsions & possibly die. Likewise, along with many other old wives tales, it was also widely believed back then, that slapping a person, was the quickest, most effective way to bring someone out of hysterics. It wasn't done with cruel intentions, it was just meant to "quickly get their attention" so whatever was causing the trauma, could be dealt with. And if you think about it - if most people believed that back then, then getting slapped when you were in hysterics, might not feel great, but at least you'd already have some kind of understanding of why that was being done. But yeah. For those that had never heard that, or who just didn't necessarily believe that was the best way to go, they'd be even more traumatized. That figurine is not Jesus. It's a catholic martyr named St. Sebastian. So her mom is actually terrifying her with, & having her worship, a martyr, with Carrie probably thinking it's meant to be Jesus. Which just corrupts the whole message of the gospel. It is twisted. The teacher asking the girls about their boyfriends, & making Chris repeat it, was specifically to put them on the spot. They get a lot of "strength" or boldness, from their popularity, & status from their boyfriends. So the teacher was attempting to say without saying it, 1. you're privileged to even be able to date, & to have a boyfriend, & 2. "you wouldn't be this bold without your boyfriend's, therefore you're nothing without them", even though the boyfriends weren't initially directly related to what was going on. The teacher knew who they dated. There's a marked difference between Billy & Tommy, in their motivation & empathy. She also knew Chris Hargensen especially didn't have a particularly classy boyfriend in Billy. So she was trying to embarrass her a bit. The result of this tactic, is both Sue Snell, & Chris Hargensen involve their boyfriends in the whole fiasco after this. Sue for good. Chris for evil.

Fun facts: 1. Sue and the mother are real life mother and daughter. 2. A lot of major actors in this film made it in this film because they were not chosen for Star Wars. The director of Carrie just happened to pop in on George Lucas's auditioning ppl and George let him stay. Imagine the actors switched... hard to see right?

Chris and Billy are my favorite. I like when the teacher and Billy slap Chris. And when the teacher dies and when the car rolls and explodes and the mother dying. Some of my favorite scenes. The mother was excited she was going to die. She'd been preparing herself all her life for this moment.

Sue and Tommy were actually trying to help Carrie. Not humiliated her.

My boss is 6’7”. He has to have bed risers under his work desk. 😂

Great video as usual, I just want to say that sometimes we can't hear you clearly because your volume is low or something. Otherwise, everything is great. Keep going, mate.

Why does everyone assume Tommy is in oon the plan? How paranoid are all of you?

Best reaction I have seen-The book is much different then the film the ending in the film is way different from the ending in the book-it’s a quick read!

old film are so good!! I hope you react to pet cemetery.

1. Stephen King threw this book away, but his wife took it out and told him to send it in. It's the first one that sold to a legitimate publisher that wasn't adult pulp and the first to be adapted into a movie. 2. Back then teachers were allowed to strike a student if warranted. (Class of 1979) 3. Another religious nut bag can be found in King's "The Mist". 4. Norma/PJ Soles 😍 Al long as I have a face....😋 (she has to ace that ballcap) 5. Sue, Tommy and Miss Collins really were trying to help Carrie. I read the book. 6. If Billy's a high school student, so am I. 7. Margaret's crucifixion pose is the same as the St. Sabastian. 8. Both Sissie and Piper Lauri were nominated for Acadamy Awards, but horror didn't get the love back then. 9. The only thing good in the second LOSER remake is Carrie/Chloe Grace Moretz could get it. (King remakes are 0/10) Including "IT" and "The Stand".

This film and Grease-also with Travolta-feature the oldest teens in cinema lol😄🎩

48:13 LMFAOOOO😭😭

I highly suggest you check the 2013 remake as well. Even though it's hated by most, I have a soft spot for it. Also a few changes were made which makes for an interesting watch.

Carrie 1976 version is my all time favourite film along with the Rocky series of films. Saw carrie 1976 back in 1982 when I was 9 years old and been hooked on it since. You should also check out and do a reaction to the original 3 hrs version of 1979 salems lot as that's another brilliant film well it was classed as a tv movie but to me I just call it another brilliant film.

The book is small and really good...

I very highly suggest watching the 1971 film, "The Andromeda Strain." I Guarantee you will enjoy it. And another great recommendation is "Rosemary's Baby." Even if you have seen them, I would very much enjoy your commentaries. They are both Class A films.

Christine and the original pet semetry are good aswell

Read the book, it's short and even better than the film, which doesn't show the magnitude of Carrie's destruction of the town.

Your reactions are hilarious and you always guess the ending within 5 minutes. 😂 Please react to Pearl!!❤

It would have been nice if we had done the birds

Harry Potter the last book has over 700 pages 🎉

That statue is not a depiction of Jesus. I believe it's an image of St. Anthony.

Can you please react to the horror movie Stigmata Starring Patricia Arquette Please

You're laughing at the most iconic scene ?

As I'm always saying in reactions to this film it's NOT Jesus,it's St Sebastian (google him)🎩

56st I was 16 when this came out ...same Class of 79 as Carrie ..........Great Movie - Classic....Propelled Sissy Spacek to Stardom
