This episode is part 2, ‘Prom Night’, where we’re following Brian de Palma to the epic school night of his 1976 iconic movie adaptation. 8/10 dirty pillows.

Just like the Carrie novel, we have divided our discussion into 3 parts. We’ve even kept the OG names! So you can listen to either or all (or none), depending what you’re most interested in!

Previously, in ep18 - part 1 - ‘Blood Sport’, we were dissecting the original 1974 Carrie novel by Stephen King. Expect scary spoilers, deep dives & terrifying tangents!

Coming up next, In part 3 - BONUS, ‘Wreckage’, we will peek behind the curtain to see what Monsters hide behind the Archives with Caroline Bicks’s 2026 exploration of Carrie’s earlier drafts & alternative plot twists!

If you’re keen to come along on this bloody ride, make sure to stash some of those sanitary napkins & tampons from the broken vending machine in the bathroom, and get ready to PLUG IT UP!
