Wonderful tidbits of witch Kelly.

It was not until her husband, Jack Fisk, persuaded the director, Brian De Palma, to audition that Cece Spacek was considered as a candidate for Sister Carrie. As a result, Spacek's performance made Palma very satisfied, so Spacek got the role.

In the scene of being drenched with pig blood, although Cece Spesik is willing to be drenched with real pig blood, the actual "pig blood" is made of juice with added pigment. Due to the high temperature of the shooting scene, the "pig blood" drenched on Cece Speysik dried up and stuck to her skin. The only solution is to rush at her with a hose until the "pig blood" that sticks together becomes soft.

Sue snell and her mother in the film are played by a real mother and daughter, amy irving and Priscilla Pointer, respectively.

This is Stephen King's first novel adapted into a film.

Nancy Allen claimed that she never realized that her character would become so evil until she saw the film. She always thought that she and john travolta were just playing a pair of noisy, self-centered idiots to increase the comedy and alleviate the tragedy of the film.

Cece Spicek asked Palma what she wanted to do when Kelly found her menarche at the beginning of the movie. Palma told her it was like a truck hitting you.

In Carrie's room, the religious statue with a sharp arrow represents St. Sebastian, not Jesus.

Nancy Allen was the last actress to audition.

Brian De Palma wanted betty buckley to slap Nancy Allen, because Allen's performance didn't achieve the desired effect, and Buckley finally had to hit Nancy Allen 30 times.

Many girls who took part in the dressing room scene at the beginning of the movie were hesitant about the nude scene at first, but after Brian De Palma showed them the nude scene of Cece Spacek, they immediately became more confident.

The child who laughed at Carrie on the bike is Palma's nephew.

A (movie) fiasco

Enlightening mistake: The knife that stabbed Kelly's mother at last can see the wire tied to it.

Continuity: Carrie's hair kept changing while she was sitting on the bench talking to Miss Collins.

Fact error: When Carrie was washing pig blood in the bathtub, the water in the bathtub turned pink. In fact, real blood turns water reddish brown, not pink.
