In this episode of Tales, Trails, and Taverns, Joe and Rob dive into the blood-soaked halls of horror history with a review of the 2013 remake of Carrie. But they don’t stop at the film—this episode also unpacks the story behind Stephen King's very first published novel, how Carrie almost never saw the light of day, and the surprising influence his wife had on its creation.
Joe and Rob compare the 2013 version to Brian De Palma’s iconic 1976 original, breaking down the differences in tone, performances, and just how each version delivers on the terror. Whether you're Team Sissy or Team Chloë, this one's for horror fans who love a deep cut.
And yes... we are all gonna laugh at you.
