What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Stephen King’s novel *Carrie* (1974).
- The initial script was close to the source material, but many changes had to be made due to budgetary constraints.
- Sissy Snell and her mother were played by Amy Irving and Priscilla Pointer, who are actually mother and daughter in real life.
- The first screen adaptation of Stephen King's work.
- Sissy Spacek was not considered for the role of Carrie White until Jack Fisk convinced director Brian De Palma to let her audition. Sissy Spacek's audition impressed De Palma so much that she immediately received the lead role.
- For the audition, Sissy Spacek smeared her hair with Vaseline and didn't wash her face. She also wore sailor's clothes with the seams on the outside.
- Originally, the role of Norma Watson was small. However, during the filming of the volleyball scene, actress P.J. Soles delivered a successful improvisation – she approached Sissy Spacek and hit her on the head with a red baseball cap. De Palma liked the improvisation and decided to expand her role.
- In addition to the physical education teacher Miss Collins, Betty Buckley also voiced the boy on the bicycle.
- Pierre Avenue Junior High School, located at 1645 Valley Drive in Hermosa Beach, California, served as the Bates High School (Bates-High).
- The film Tommy Ross and Sue Snell are watching on television when Tommy agrees to take Carrie to the prom is the western "Duel at Diablo" (1966).
- The name Bates-High School is a reference to Norman Bates, the protagonist of Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho," based on which Alfred Hitchcock staged the legendary thriller "Psycho" (1960). Furthermore, a short violin fragment from Bernard Herrmann's classical music for the film "Psycho" (1960) is used several times in the film's soundtrack.
- The pig's blood poured over Sissy Spacek is corn syrup colored with food dye.
- In the script, the White house was buried under a piece of rock. The film crew spent the night in unsuccessful attempts to realistically depict this, and at dawn it was decided to burn down the house.
- In her time, upon graduating from Quitman High School, Sissy Spacek was genuinely crowned prom queen.
- Filming the climactic episode, in which Carrie is doused with pig's blood, took two weeks. Being a proponent of authenticity in everything, Sissy Spacek insisted on being doused with real pig's blood. However, the filmmakers ultimately did not go so far in their perfectionism.
- During the filming of the scene in which a fire hose kills Norma Watson, actress P.J. Soles actually lost consciousness as the high-pressure water jet ruptured her eardrums.
- The hand grabbing Sue Snell from the grave is actually Sissy Spacek's hand. She insisted that she herself be buried in the ground, not a stunt double.
- The name of Bates High School is a reference to Norman Bates, the protagonist of Robert Bloch's novel «Psycho», based on which Alfred Hitchcock staged the legendary thriller «Psycho» (1960). Additionally, the film's soundtrack repeatedly uses a short violin fragment from Bernard Herrmann's classical music for the film «Psycho» (1960).
