Graveyard Shift: CARRIE (1976) @ Alamo Drafthouse

Graveyard Shift is our weekly descent into horror—join us every Monday night for spine-chilling screenings of cult classics, deep cuts, and nightmare fuel from every corner of the genre. Because who needs sleep?

Sissy Spacek makes Carrie a truly frail creature whose wide eyes are so much like a cat caught in the light that you’d rather keep your distance to avoid the scratch. Enduring the humiliation that is the true stuff of teenage girl nightmares – public shame for getting your period – Carrie is constantly on the receiving end of her classmates’ pranks. At home, she is taunted with religious nonsense and talk of dirty pillows, so what’s a girl to do but transfer all that rage into telekinetic powers? Building to the end that everyone knows even if you haven’t seen the movie (has someone out there really not seen it?), CARRIE is so effectively terrifying, repeat viewings won’t numb you to it.
