This November marks 50 years since Carrie hit the big screen based on Stephen King‘s first published novel. Directed by Brian De Palma, who is now 86, the film opened on November 3, 1976, with Sissy Spacek as the bullied teenager whose telekinetic powers turn prom night into a nightmare. Piper Laurie played her controlling mother, while several of the young actors playing her classmates were just getting started in Hollywood.
A new version is arriving ahead of the anniversary. Mike Flanagan‘s eight-episode Carrie series premieres October 7 on Prime Video, with Summer H. Howell in the title role. Before meeting the new cast, here’s a look at what happened to the original film’s stars.
