With Carrie set to hit TV screens in a few short weeks, just in time for Halloween, Amazon Video has shared the names of the eight episodes and it’s pretty clever what they’ve done.
Set in high school, the new adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic novel from director Mike Flanagan updates the original story from its 1970s setting to modern-day, so expect mobile phones, social media, and discourse over Sydney Sweeney. Maybe.
Tidbit:
Mike Flanagan installed a fart machine on the set of Carrie to break tension during heavy scenes.
“We heard a fart and we kinda kept going, but then we heard another fart and were like, ‘Someone’s doing this,’” recalls Alison Thornton who plays bully Chris Hargensen.

‘First Period’ is very clever and works on several levels if you know your Carrie lore.
Look, I thought it was clever:
You never forget your first dance. Carrie, a new series from Mike Flanagan, based on Stephen King’s iconic debut novel
She just wanted a friend. They gave her a fight.
If you think you know her story, you’re dead wrong.
Carrie goes to the dance, October 7th on Prime Video.
Releasing October 7 on Prime Video.

He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
