Carrie is a 1976 American supernatural horror film based on Stephen King's 1974 novel of the same name. The film was directed by Brian De Palma with a screenplay by Lawrence D. Cohen.
The film received two Academy Award nominations, one for Sissy Spacek in the title role and one for Piper Laurie as her abusive mother. The film featured numerous young actors – including Nancy Allen, William Katt, Amy Irving, and John Travolta – whose careers were launched, or escalated, by the film. It also relaunched the screen and television career of Laurie, who had not been active in show business since 1961.
Carrie was the first of more than 100 film and television productions adapted from, or based on, the published works of Stephen King.
Carrie White (Sissy Spacek), a shy and friendless 17-year-old girl, is the scapegoat and outcast of her school. At home, she is abused by her mentally unstable mother Margaret (Piper Laurie), who is a Christian fundamentalist.
While in the showers after gym class, Carrie unexpectedly experiences her first period and fears she is bleeding to death. The other girls, including Chris Hargensen (Nancy Allen) and Sue Snell (Amy Irving), add to her shame and humiliation by pelting her with tampons and sanitary pads. The gym teacher Miss Collins (Betty Buckley) intervenes and as Carrie becomes more frantic, a light bulb bursts in the showers.

Take my heart and leave it there,
I'm gonna feel this way forever,
Never thought that I'd be free,
Now you've made this change in me,
Carrie, Carrie,
Now only time will tell,
It's a dream I know so well,
Always tried so hard to please me,
Only thing I know for sure,
I couldn't love you any more,
Carrie, Carrie,
Waited so long no one to share,
Could you belong to someone
Show you care,
I'll be there
Oh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
Carrie, can I tell everyone you're mine?
I will never be the same,
Now you've made me live again.
Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
Oh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
My heart is open wide,
You know how I feel inside,
You say my sad old days are over.
Never need to hide away,
Getting stronger every day
Carrie, Carrie
Waited so long no one to share,
Could you belong to someone?
Show you care
I'll be there.
Oh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
Carrie, can I tell everyone you're mine?
I will never be the same
Now you've made me live again.
