Carrie (1976)
Still a classic. I havenât seen any of the remakes (or the largely forgotten sequel, The Rage: Carrie 2), but I doubt they compare.

I wouldnât want to see a remake. That book was the first SK novel I read, and boy, did it ever make an impact on me. Because I was considered to be a freak, too.
But in the movie, they got the dress color wrong. Symbolism, schymbolism, the wine-red prom dress was important. And it wouldâve made the blood on her face seem even ickier had they not used a white dress.

Was it? It mustâve been a very pale pink (Iâm going by my memory, not checking out photos).

Now I want to cover âThe Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgeraldâ, but really creepy-like.

Rather pale and, under the colored lights of the prom scene, very difficult to tell its true color.
I think the color works very well, primarily due to this bit of dialogue:
Margaret White: [referring to Carrieâs prom gown] Red. I might have known it would be red.
Carrie: Itâs pink, Mama
Thus showing how Mrs. Whiteâs inner reality (literally) colors her view of the real world.

Margaretâs line is still in the book, as well as her view on the neckline, that much I do remember. So her worldview is apparent there, as well.

Yes, itâs directly from the book, but, in the book, she doesnât see pink as red.

Because in the book, the dress is red.
Oh waitâŠi keep forgetting movies from books have to have more visuals; see, when I read a book, especially if thereâs no movie or if Iâve not seen it, my imagination supplies me its own film.
