Poor Carrie, she never had a chance. Her mother was a religious nut, her father was long gone, and shes painfully shy. Things at school aren't much better, she's routinely bullied and treated like a freak. She also struggles with the realization that she posses telekinetic powers (which would difficult to deal with at any age). However, were lead to believe Carries luck turns around when she gets asked to go to the prom, and were happy for her. Then we realize someone has a cruel prank planned. She goes to prom, and actually gets crowed prom queen. Its a sweet moment for her until a bucket of pigs blood falls on her head and everybody laughs at her (just as her mother rightfully predicted). In a split second, her mind snaps. She blocks the exits, starts a fire, and kills everyone in the room. Nearly four decades before anybody ever heard of the Ice Bucket Challenge the substantially less appealing Blood Bucket Challenge was all the rage in Stephen Kings world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiPw2v02nE4 Are there any memorable movie pranks gone wrong that we missed?
