Carrie vol.1 redux

from Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time · host We Write Good

If you’ve got a taste for terror - and seconds - you have a date with us and our 2023 episode covering the 1976 classic, CARRIE!! But why go back to Prom? The sixth season of Kill By Kill starts this Friday, and we'll be covering the cinematic adaptations of Stephen King!! To properly set up that bucket of pig's blood we'll be pouring over the two remakes, we wanted to give you a chance to revisit our thoughts on the Brian De Palma original - an explosive dance of teenage hormones, religious mania, and plenty of split diopter lens shots!! Along the way, we dig into the backstory that brought this unlikely blockbuster to the screen and the Oscar stage, explore how adult inaction fosters the bad attitudes in this blackboard jungle, uncover the origins of the primordial King Bully, and expand on the class struggle within this telekinetic teen body horror story!! All this, plus crucifixion organisms, mid poetry, bad miracles, and a devastating edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! No stone goes unturned, nor upthrown from the sky, in this deep dive exploration into every major character in this Kill By Kill favorite!!
