Vintage Carrie Paperback
Looking for a copy of Carrie the other night, and my kids brought me the original movie cover paperback. I forgot I had it! It's pretty tattered (not by me) and even the cover is creased. It's really a cool copy because it so reflects the times.
What makes it different:
1. The cover shows a blood drenched Sissy Spacek.
2. Title: "CARRIE" by Stephen King Author of 'Salem's Lot. These days covers say, "by the author of Under The Dome" or some current title.
3. There are movie pictures in the middle.
4. The list of books in the front only have one other King title, 'Salem's Lot. The rest are other authors. No, "Other books my Stephen King" with a long list.
What vintage King books do you own that are cool? (they don't have to be first editions, just stuff that makes ya happy)
Spacek Thrilled By New Carrie
Shock Till You Drop has an interview with Carrie star, Sissy Spacek, titled, "Sissy Spacek Thrilled by Potential for a New Carrie." (HERE)
Edward Douglas says that Spacek will be watching the movie when it comes out, and that she thinks Chloe Moretz is a "wonderful actress." He response to Julianne Moore playing mama? – "That’s great!"
Douglas quotes Spacek:

Douglas quotes Spacek:
"They hired a really wonderful director, very talented. It'll be interesting. Our film, it is what it is what it is, and it stood the test of time, but I think that's great, it's like an homage not only to the book but to the film, not only to Stephen King but to Brian De Palma. It's been made many times. There have been several television movies, 'Carrie 2,' two musicals! I remember thinking the first time there was a musical on Broadway, 'Oh my Gosh! The people who ordinarily go to the theaters, that's not really the audience.' The first audience of 'Carrie' has aged now, so I think out of curiosity, I think it's cool. As I understand it, they're not remaking our film; they're going back to the source material, to the book."
