Carrie Bloody Prom Dress Costume with Gown and Corsage (Medium)

Product Information

If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...: Miss Desjardin finds Tommy at the prom and warns him that if Carrie doesn't have the night of her life, she'll see to it that he's expelled. It's no wonder that after the prank happens, he tosses down his prom crown in anger. Ray of Hope" Ending: This is the only version where Carrie survives, with Sue helping her escape to Florida. While we don't find out what happened (due to the planned mini-series being canceled), if Carrie was able to successfully hide her identity, she might have been able to have a relatively happy life after.

To She's All That where Tommy remarks that because Freddie Prinze, Jr. turned "a supermodel, but we're not supposed to notice because she's wearing glasses" into a Prom Queen is notably similar to Sue's request that Tommy take Carrie to prom. Bonus points for Carrie outright mentioning Pygmalion and My Fair Lady, of which She's All That is a modernisation. In the 2013 film adaptation, when Carrie tells Sue that her baby is a girl (conceived by both Sue and Tommy Ross) and saves her life from the destruction of her house, it is possible that Carrie now treats Sue as a friend. In preparation for her role, Sissy Spacek isolated herself from the rest of the ensemble, decorated her dressing room with heavy religious iconography and studied Gustave Doré's illustrated Bible. She studied "the body language of people being stoned for their sins", starting or ending every scene in one of those positions.

Tropes:

At 1:39:59 in this alternate ending, there is a 'hidden' frame with Carrie, still in her prom dress, covered in blood, holding Sue's baby. This is an adaptation of Stephen King's novel. It is not an official remake of Brian De Palma's 1976 horror movie. If you read the book and then compare with this telefilm you will find that this version is the most faithful transfer from book to film.

True Blue Femininity: Helen, one of the 'Ultras' and a beautiful blonde Girly Girl, wears a blue prom dress. Modesty Towel: In the Shower Scene, Tina is in a towel as she's testing the water. This is because Katharine Isabelle refuses to do nudity. Chris's Girl Posse was called the 'Mortimer Snerds' in the book. Norma refers to them as 'The Ultras' here. Helen is seen as part of the Girl Posse making fun of Carrie early on - even asking Sue "is she retarded or something?" - but she ends up being nice to Carrie at the prom and even tries to stop the blood being poured. She also delivers a massive slap to Kenny when he's laughing at Carrie. After cradling her mother to death, Carrie realizes what she has done and makes stones begin to rain from the sky. Sue appears shortly afterwards, but is held in the grasp of Carrie. After scanning Sue's brain, she realizes that she had nothing to do with the prank. She tells Sue (who didn't know) that she is pregnant with a girl before throwing her out to safety.Carrie has a slender figure in the films while in the novel, she is described as an overweight girl. Orphaned Series: Sort of. The film is a full adaptation of the book that had mild plans to continue as a TV series where Carrie survives and runs off. The ending is open enough to allow for a continuation, but still somewhat resolved. A gym class scene that precedes the shower incident (though it was volleyball in the first film). The present day Carrie story opened with the girls showering in the book, and the sequence of Carrie losing a game for her team and Chris taunting her come straight from the 1976 film. How We Got Here: The only adaptation to follow this route. We start off two weeks after the disaster with the detectives interviewing the survivors.

There are several nameless cops investigating the case in the book. They're all combined into one, Detective Mulcahy, in this film. Many perish in the fire (except Ms. Desjardin) and Carrie leaves, leaving a massive trail of destruction and flames while she walks home. In the 2013 remake, Carrie White mentioned that she inherited her telekinetic power from either her father Ralph, or from her great-grandmother Sadie Cochran, who was the mother of Judith Cochran, the mother-in-law of John Brigham, the grandmother of Margaret Brigham. Sadie, like her great-granddaughter, was telekinetic. She died of heart failure at the age of 66, possibly from straining herself with her own power.

This has the two-fold effect of highlighting Carrie’s growing sexual awareness and confidence while also making her appear more and more vulnerable as the night progresses toward its disastrous ending. She boldly displayed her handiwork and adult body to her mother, but it’s notable how she hoiked the dress up and covered herself in a shawl once she left home. Her dirty-pillows display to her mother was an act of bravado, but when she gets around her contemporaries, she does her best to withdraw and not make such a show of herself. Because it went on that journey with her, the audience can feel her mind snap at that moment and completely understand why. She turned herself into a swan and they punished her for it. In this moment, we aren’t horrified by Carrie, we’re horrified for her. Fanservice: The shower scene has some of the Ultras still in the middle of getting dressed, so Chris and Helen are still in their bras. Tina is just in a towel too. Prior to Carrie freaking out, we see her (surprisingly) toned abdomen and one of her legs.
