Ah… like father, like son… Danny is now an adult and an Alcoholic. I mean can you blame him? What he had to endure; his father possessed and attempting to kill him, seeing dead people all the time… it’s still sad though and a little disappointing.

Part Three- The Wasps’ Nest

“.. I used to trim a lady’s topiary.”
Wendy put a hand over her mouth and snickered. Looking at her, Jack said, “Yes, I used to trim her topiary at least once a week.”
“Get away, fly,” Wendy said, and snickered again.
“Did she have nice hedges, Dad?” Danny asked, and at this they both stifled great bursts of laughter.

LMAO IM DEEEEEEAD!!!!

Unfortunately!

PART TWO - CLOSING DAY
We are dealing with an alcoholic and a depressed family basically. The poor woman wanted to leave long ago and was almost going to do it had it not been for his change of tone and new actions. She is staying for her son, she still loves her husband but………. It’s actually kind of sad. I feel for her.

“Just like every big hotel has got a ghost. Why? Hell, people come and go. Sometimes one of em will pop off in his room, heart attack or stroke or something like that. Hotels are superstitious places. No thirteenth floor or room thirteen, no mirrors on the back of the door you come in through, stuff like that”
Hold up, what is this mirrors on the back of the door superstition?! Gonna have to look that up!

“But hardly anybody ever finds out that their actions really, actually, hurt other people! People don’t get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don’t stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it.”
THIS!

Carrie figured out about her powers a lot earlier than expected. Her mother even knows and shows fear calling her “spawn of the devil”.

Okay, now we are just being cruel and abusive to the poor girl.

She thumped Carrie with the side of her foot and Carrie screamed. “Get up, woman. Let’s us get in and pray. Let’s us pray to Jesus for our woman-weak, wicked, sinning souls.”
….
Every now and again Momma would swing her foot.

This was NOT in the movie nor the series.

WTF…

“Why didn’t you tell me? She cried. “Oh Momma, I was so scared! And the girls all made fun and threw things and—“
Momma had been walking toward her, and now her hand flashed with sudden limber speed, a hard hand, laundry-callused and muscled. It struck her backhand across the jaw and Carrie fell down…….

Like why hit her?

Okay, so it looks like the show has a little bit more from the book. We get Carrie as a kid going into her neighbors yard to the girl in the bathing suit except now we hear ‘dirtypillows’ for the first time. lol

…
She looked at me defiantly and said that her momma had been bad when she made her and that was why she had them. She called them dirtypillows, as if it was all on word.

Her crash out is Valid cause you were literally JUST told her name! I mean how hard is it to remember the name Carrie?

“Carrie only has to go over to Carlin Street. The fresh air will do her good.”

Morton gave the girl the yellow slip. “You can go now Cassie,” he said magnanimously.

“Thats not my name!” She screamed suddenly.

Jesus… LOL, we are just all around insulting the poor girl. “Miss Desjardin employed the standard tactic for hysterics: She slapped Carrie smartly across the face. She hardly would have admitted the pleasure the act gave her, and she certainly would have denied that she regarded Carrie as a fat, whiny bag of lard”. Bag. Of. Lard. Now that’s just mean

Hold up. The movie lied to me?! Carrie wasn’t pretty! “She was a chunky girl with pimples on her neck and back and buttocks…” The TV series had her homeschooled but book clearly states she went to school with them since 1st grade. AHHHHH
