Friday Night Film Series: Carrie
Program Council's Horror Movie Month continues with an absolute classic: Stephen King’s Carrie. Free entry and popcorn; film starts at 8 p.m. in Chem 140.
“In this chilling adaptation of Stephen King’s horror novel, withdrawn and sensitive teen Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) faces taunting from classmates at school and abuse from her fanatically pious mother (Piper Laurie) at home. When strange occurrences start happening around Carrie, she begins to suspect that she has supernatural powers. Invited to the prom by the empathetic Tommy Ross (William Katt), Carrie tries to let her guard down, but things eventually take a dark and violent turn.”
