All the things’s Coming Up Carrie!

January proved to be a busy, different month on Horror Queers. We kicked off 2025 with a take a look at Sophia Takal’s examination of poisonous friendships in Into the Darkish: “New 12 months, New You” (pay attention), tackled Quentin Tarantino’s half of the Grindhouse double function with Loss of life Proof (pay attention), revisited George Waggner’s 1941 basic The Wolf Man (pay attention), then begged for Aylmer’s juice in Frank Henenlotter’s Mind Injury (pay attention).

To wrap up January, we’re taking Carrie White to promenade in Brian De Palma‘s adaptation of Stephen King‘s debut novel, Carrie. The basic movie about telekinesis follows timid, bullied Carrie (Sissy Spacek) struggling to slot in at highschool and get out from below the thumb of her overbearing spiritual mom (Piper Laurie).

Surprising kindness arrives courtesy of standard woman Sue Snell (Amy Irving), who volunteers her boyfriend Tommy (William Katt) to take Carrie to promenade. However the magical night time goes horribly awry when Carrie is attacked by nasty imply woman Chris (Nancy Allen) and her boyfriend Billy (John Travolta), setting in movement a sequence of devastating occasions that devour practically everybody concerned.
