Nearly 40 years after Brian De Palma drenched prom night in pig’s blood and psychic rage, Carrie returned in 2013 with Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore. But did this remake modernize Stephen King’s story—or just repackage it?

In this episode, we trace the journey of Carrie (2013) from concept to release, explore how it compares to the 1976 classic, and ask whether it’s fair to call this version “forgotten”… or if we simply moved on for a reason.

Cast Includes:

Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie White

Julianne Moore as Margaret White

Judy Greer as Miss Desjardin

Gabriella Wilde as Sue Snell

Portia Doubleday as Chris Hargensen

Ansel Elgort as Tommy Ross
