How many ways can one girl discover she has terrifying powers? In this Movie Memory Machine Five For episode, Landen and Truman explore five thematically connected films to Carrie (2013)—ranging from Brian De Palma’s original adaptation to Cronenberg’s scanners, to telekinetic kids with lighter (or stranger) fates.
We cover:
Carrie (1976): Sissy Spacek sets the gold standard for prom-night horror.
The Fury (1978): More psychics, more explosions, and De Palma off the leash.
Scanners (1981): The king of head-splosions meets telekinetic warfare.
Matilda (1996): What if Carrie used her powers for whimsy instead of wrath?
Thelma (2017): Norwegian art-horror about queer longing and supernatural coming-of-age.
Along the way, we talk Stephen King, Danny DeVito’s taste for chaos, and whether Stranger Things owes royalties to every VHS tape from 1981.
