Carrie (1976): Episode 21

My theme for April is April Fuels Fury and I'm kicking this theme off with the classic horror film Carrie. She is a shy girl that doesn't fit in because of her sheltered life with a religious zealot of a mother. Through the trauma of being bullied at school and constantly punished by her mother, Carrie gains telekinetic powers. She is asked to the prom where she loses control of her new powers. For the true horrors, I cover the people from Stephen Kings past that he used as reference when creating Carrie and her mother. I also talk about the connections between bullying, misogyny, and mental health when it comes to mass shootings in schools.
