Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released one year after Carrie, this rode the psychic-teen-girl wave so hard it nearly capsized. The poster even mimicked Carrie's iconic imagery.
Lisa Pelikan later said she was genuinely terrified of snakes and only did close-ups with handlers just out of frame. The terror you see is mostly real.
