Carrie
Carrie, a classic Stephen King novel later made into a horror movie is a must watch this halloween season. Carrie is the type of movie that will have you rethinking about making that snarky remark at the shy innocent girl, because you may never know what supernatural power she might be hiding under all that innocence. With the original movie being from 1976, you may think that is too outdated for you, well do not fret, because there is a 2002 and 2013 remake. Carrie White is a shy, antisocial 17 year old who lives with her overly exaggerated, religious mother, but when pushed to the limits she unleashes her telekinetic powers after being humiliated at her senior prom. The ratings vary depending on the movies such as 7.4 stars out of ten on the original version, 5.5 stars out of ten on the 2002 remake, and six stars out of ten on the 2013 remake. You can choose to watch which ever, or why not all, them you can decide which one scares you more.
