10 Movie Posters That Spoiled EVERYTHING

9. Carrie's Rampage - Carrie

Bodies Bodies Bodies
United Artists

Brian De Palma's Carrie features one of the most iconic and unforgettable endings to any horror movie - nay, any movie period - yet even audiences watching the film upon release in 1976 were bamboozled with posters which blatantly revealed the big third act outcome.

The poster contained two pictures of Carrie (Sissy Spacek), both as a smiling, beautiful prom queen and then bathed in blood, while stating that she has "the power," making it abundantly clear that Carrie causes one hell of a massacre on prom night with her supernatural abilities.

Even without the knowledge of the humiliation Carrie suffers at the prom - namely being soaked in pig's blood - it pretty plainly details the film's most iconic set-piece and Carrie's descent into bloody vengeance.

The marketing for the 2013 remake didn't fare much better, either, showing Carrie (Chloe Grace Moretz) covered in blood and wandering the fiery streets she'd just set ablaze.
