Behind-the-scenes images from ‘Carrie,’ 1976
A blood-soaked Sissy Spacek sneaking a smoke
Since Halloween is just around the corner, it felt appropriate to post these behind-the-scenes images from Brian De Palma’s 1976 supernatural horror film Carrie.
Although I couldn’t find too many, I fell in love with the images of a blood-soaked Sissy Spacek giggling her ass off. Not quite “scary,” a lot of these images are just plain funny.
As creepy as Carrie is, it looks like many smiles were to be seen on the set. Good times with pigs’ blood!
