20 Greatest Horror Movie Endings Of All Time

11. Carrie (1976)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD4BIUBEYJw The Movie: Poor Carrie (Sissy Spacek), she never had a chance. Her mother was a religious nut, her father was long gone, and she€™s 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). The Ending: Things seem to finally be going right for Carrie. She gets asked to the prom and actually gets crowed prom queen. It€™s a sweet moment for her - until a bucket of pig€™s 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. The dream-like final moments of the film puts the audience at ease, reaching for their coats and assuming that Carrie's reign of terror is over - until her bloody arm reaches out of the ground to finish off the lone survivor of her massacre. Even when you know it's coming, it's hard not to jump out of your seat a little.
