Episode 31: Carrie (1976)

Happy Prom season, everyone! Especially the nerds, cause this movie makes it pretty clear: Treat them a little nicer, yeah? OH right, podcast. This week Anthony and Alix dig deep into the beginnings of two major creative forces: Stephen King and Brian De Palma. That's right, The Horrorble People's Podcast is covering the landmark 1976 film CARRIE.

The team follows King from his start as a creative child from a single parent household to a horror success story that changed the genre forever. That's not to mention De Palma's rise from a New York film making super star to a studio weary, indie filmmaker looking to break into the rising Hollywood Blockbuster movement. 

What was in the box of goods from Stephen King's absent father that inspired his motivations as a writer? Why does Laurie Piper insist the film was a comedy till this very day? What makes Carrie a truly feminist film and is she a monster, a victim, or both? Which bad impression will Anthony use to read aloud three sentences of a telegram? You know you want to find out!

As always, rate, subscribe, follow, enjoy and BE NICE TO THE NERDS (-Ant).
