Brian De Palma’s Carrie (1976) is a horror masterpiece, and in this episode of our scene-by-scene journey, I unpack one of its most iconic sequences: the pig blood bucket reveal at the prom. Joined by fellow podcaster Sicco, we explore De Palma’s genius cinematography, including the breathtaking one-take crane shot that builds suspense and sets up the film’s tragic climax. From Stephen King’s debut novel to Sissy Spacek’s haunting performance, we dive into how this low-budget classic (made for just $1.6 million!) blends European influences, Hitchcockian suspense, and a wicked sense of humor. Discover why Carrie influenced horror films like Friday the 13th and how De Palma’s visual storytelling elevates this tale of telekinesis, bullying, and revenge. Watch now on Max or your own copy, and join us as we break down this pivotal moment in film history!
