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

Product Information

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. True Blue Femininity: Helen, one of the 'Ultras' and a beautiful blonde Girly Girl, wears a blue prom dress.

This time it's Tina who gets this to become Chris's Beta Bitch. However Tina was Chris's best friend in the book so her bitchiness was implied through the association. The only reason she's this trope is because Tina in the book didn't take an active part in the prank like she did here. 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.Norma as well, who could be seen laughing at Tina's taunts during the baseball game and says in her testimony that she didn't know whether to slap Carrie or feel sorry for her. She redeems herself at the prom by being nice and complimenting her. Never Found the Body: In a Description Cut, the investigators say this about Carrie, interspersed with a scene of Sue bringing food to Carrie in hiding, and new clothes to disguise herself. Which is why the moment of her degradation hits so hard, even though we saw it coming, even though the audience in 1976 walked past film posters depicting Sissy Spacek covered in blood. To turn her into the 1970s ideal of the All-American prom queen and then force the audience to wait through an excruciating scene in which her prettiness and her transformation are commented on by everyone, knowing that disaster is coming, is why the film remains such a classic.

For the moment when the prom goes up in flames, the crew avoided any need for fancy special effects and simply lit the entire set on fire. Talking to Yahoo! Movies, William Katt, who played Carrie’s prom date, Tommy Ross, claimed that the sound stage actually caught fire. He explained, “I remember being on set when they lit off the fire, because we were doing stuff out of sequence, right? I was already supposed to be lying on the ground, dead. So they lit the stage on fire, and the actual soundstage caught fire. And the AD was screaming for everybody to get out, and Brian was yelling for the camera department to keep rolling.” Once she arrives at the prom, the film lingers for a while on the atmosphere and the building tension, but it also takes the time to show you how Carrie’s gown differs from everyone else’s. It’s not just a simpler look, but a slightly more revealing one than you see on any of the other girls.

Tropes:

The level of Carrie's "un-coolness" and the height of constant and verbal abuse she endured at the hands of her mother and peers and fellow classmates in the novel was far more extreme compared to the versions of the films.

One of Billy's posse when he's caught on video killing the pig decides to clear Sue's name and say she wasn't involved. 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.Chris gets a Beta Bitch who's in on all her schemes, when she and Billy act alone in the book. Although in this case, it's more accurate to the book, making it Tina (who was friends with Chris but not a Beta Bitch) rather than Norma. Miss Desjardin, at least compared to the 1976 film. While she lived in the book, she died in the more famous film adaptation, and her survival in this version is treated as a twist. One day after P.E. class, Carrie gets confronted by her classmates and gets her first period. Unaware of this, Carrie believed she was bleeding to death and asked for help from the other girls.

Easily Forgiven: Sue forgives Carrie for the prom that killed a lot of people at the school and says it wasn't her fault. Justified, since for most of that sequence Carrie seems to be walking around in a dream state, and before her powers are activated she seems to have a seizure from the stress of being coated in pig's blood. Plus, when Sue revives Carrie, she ends up getting all of Carrie's memories. So she truly knows that Carrie wasn't malicious. Carrie's powers were strong even when she was a small child and she was also able to read other people's minds and inner thoughts when they were close enough to her, namely Miss Desjardin, the gym teacher, who secretly felt both disgusted and pity for the young girl. Carrie killed 73 people at the night of the Prom. The school was rebuilt elsewhere in Chamberlain and the ruins of the former school are still there. Additionally that part of the town of Chamberlain is deserted. Finally the incident also became in time some kind of "Urban Legend" in the town. Carrie's father Ralph, had another daughter named Rachel Lang, who was also a carrier of telekinesis.

Tranquil Fury: Patricia Clarkson portrays Margaret White this way, in contrast to Piper Laurie's Large Ham in the original. Death by Adaptation: Kenny and Tina survived in the book but both die in the disaster. Helen's fate is not said in the book but she's shown dying too. Subverted with Miss Desjardin - she's implied to die but is one of the survivors being interviewed.
