Carrie Resources

On Stephen King's creepily comprehensive website (okay, it's not that creepy, we just feel the need to use the word "creepy" when talking about him), you can see different covers of Carrie throughout the ages. You can also learn about King's inspiration for the story.

Brian de Palma's 1976 version of Carrie focuses more on the horror aspect of the story… and 1970s fashions, of course. Grab your bloodstained bell bottoms and get ready to dance.

The 2013 version of Carrie, directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry), has a bit more character development. YouTube and other details also update the story for a 21st-century audience, whee.

The 2002 Carrie TV movie is all but forgotten. Strange, given how many kind of famous actors were in it. It's got Angela Bettis (Girl, Interrupted) Emilie de Ravin (Lost), Kandyse McClure (Battlestar Galactica), and Patricia Clarkson (everything). Also, it was written by Bryan Fuller, who did Pushing Daisies and Hannibal. So maybe you should check it out, huh?

Sorry, there's still no Carrie sequel. But you can find out what Stephen King did with the advance money he got for selling Carrie in this interview.

Lawrence D. Cohen wrote the screenplay for both Carrie movies and helped write both versions of the Carrie musical. He must be really into this story.

Chloe Moretz has received criticism for being "too beautiful" to play Carrie. If King's Carrie had been beautiful, would she really have turned out to be Carrie?

In this interview, King discusses how Carrie helped him jump from the world of men's magazines (which are totally read for the articles and stories) to full-length novels.

This video gives you two trailers for the price of one: a trailer for the 1976 Carrie and the 2013 Carrie. Sure, the price is $0.00, but that's still a lot of bang for your buck.

The audiobook version of Carrie (which was once available on cassette, it's so old) is read by Sissy Spacek, who plays Carrie in the 1976 movie. Coolio.

Carrie may be scary, but her mom is the true terror of the novel. Click here to listen to writer Elizabeth Blair talk about how riveted she always was by Carrie's mother.

Carrie has had some creepy book covers over the years, but this one takes the creepy-cake.

Okay, we're not talking about the dress; we're talking about pig's blood. Compare these shots of Chloe Moretz and Sissy Spacek. Who wore it better?

Carrie action figures. Need we say more?

This is what Stephen King looked like when he wrote Carrie. We can't even imagine what kind of unnatural material this suit is made of.
