Bloodbath on Prom Night, Carrie (1976) and the birth of Girl Horror
In this episode of The Girl Horror Podcast, from Glass Bone Media, we're taking you back to high school. It's time to don your favourite dress and walk with us through the trials and tribulations of the original girl horror villain. Or should I say, villain.We'll be discussing the context of the 1970s, the journey of feminism that lead to Carrie hitting the perfect spot in culture at the time, as well as diving deep into the complex characters and storylines that make this film so brilliant. The girl horror subgenre owes much of its groundwork to Carrie, and that's why this deep dive is taking centre stage on prom night. As they say, if you enjoy the dark and macabre, then you have a date with Carrie White.
